Holman Christian Standard Bible

Mark 7:8 Other mss add The washing of jugs, and cups, and many other similar things you practice.

Mark 7:8

New King James Version

⁸For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—^[a]the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”

⁸You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”

⁸You thrust aside the commandment of God in order to preserve the traditions of men.”^[a]

Mark 7:8 The commandment of God . . . the traditions of men: Jesus makes a clear contrast between the two. The commandment of God is found in Scripture and is binding; the traditions of men (also known as the tradition of the elders: v. 3) are not found in Scripture and are not binding.
