T4T The Pharisees and all of the other Jews strictly observe the traditions that their ancestors taught. For example, they refuse to eat until they first wash their hands with a special ritual, especially after they return from buying things in the marketplace. They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched ◄them/the things they bought►. There are many other such traditions that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash in a special way their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds in order that using these things will not make God reject them.

7:1-23 This account has no direct connection with what precedes it. It assumes only a context such as “Once in the ministry of Jesus.” After setting the scene (7:1-4), Mark introduces the Pharisees’ question (7:5), followed by Jesus’ response (7:6-23). The first part of Jesus’ response (7:6-13) centers around two Old Testament passages and a twofold attack on the Pharisees’ traditions (7:6-8, 9-13). In the second part (7:14-23), Jesus teaches about what does and does not truly defile.

ἀπ’ ἀγορᾶς ἐὰν μὴ βαπτίσωνται οὐκ ἐσθίουσιν
from /the/_marketplace if not ˱they˲_/may/_wash not ˱they˲_/are/_eating
Here Mark could be indicating that the Pharisees and other Jews: (1) do not eat anything unless they baptize themselves when they return home from the marketplace. Alternate translation: “returning from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they baptize themselves” (2) do not eat what they brought home from the marketplace unless they baptize it first. Alternate translation: “they do not eat anything from the marketplace unless they baptize it”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ἀγορᾶς
/the/_marketplace
See how you translated marketplace in 6:56. Alternate translation: “a town square” or “a park”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions
ἐὰν μὴ βαπτίσωνται οὐκ ἐσθίουσιν
if not ˱they˲_/may/_wash not ˱they˲_/are/_eating
If, in your language, it would appear that Mark was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “they only eat if they have baptized”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἄλλα πολλά ἐστιν ἃ παρέλαβον κρατεῖν
other_‹things› many ˱there˲_is which ˱they˲_received /to_be/_taking_hold_of
Here Mark is referring to many other traditions that the Pharisees and other Jews received from the elders and hold to. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “there are many other traditions that they received from the elders and that they hold to”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ποτηρίων καὶ ξεστῶν καὶ χαλκίων
˱of˲_cups and pitchers and copper_kettles
The terms cups, pitchers, and copper vessels all refer to containers that people would use for making, serving, and storing food. Mark is using the three terms together to refer to many different kinds of containers like these. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could refer to many different kinds of containers by using only one or two terms. Alternate translation: “of various dishes” or “of pots and pans”
Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
ξεστῶν
pitchers
A pitcher is a container for holding liquids. This specific type of container could hold about half a liter, or about one pint. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of container, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “jugs”
Note 7 topic: translate-unknown
χαλκίων
copper_kettles
Here, the word translated as copper vessels refers to any household container made from copper or copper alloys such as brass or bronze. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of container, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “metal serving dishes” or “bronze pots”
Note 8 topic: translate-textvariants
χαλκίων
copper_kettles
Some ancient manuscripts do not include any other items after the copper vessels. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts add the phrase “and beds” after the words copper vessels. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
