Mark 7:5-9

New International Version

⁵ So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders^(A) instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”

⁶ He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

⁸ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”^(C)

⁹ And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe^[b] your own traditions!^(D)
