5So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”
6Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘These people honor Me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from Me.
7They worship Me in vain;
they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
8You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
— Mark 7:5-8
