In context
2 and, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread,——
3 For, the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless with care they wash their hands, eat not, holding fast the tradition of the elders;
4 and coming from market, unless they sprinkle themselves, they eat not,—and, many other things, there are, which they have accepted to hold fast—immersions of cups and measures and copper vessels——
5 and so the Pharisees and the Scribes, question, him—For what cause do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but, with defiled hands, eat bread?
6 But, he, said unto them—Well, prophesied Isaiah concerning you, ye hypocrites, as it is written—This people, with the lips do honour me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me,—
7 But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments of men;
8 Having, dismissed, the commandment, of God, ye, hold fast, the tradition, of men.
