(For the Pharisees and all the Jews being, as they are, zealous for the traditions of the Elders never eat without first carefully washing their hands,

Mark 7:4

And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.

and when they come from market they will not eat without bathing first; and they have a good many other customs which they have received traditionally and cling to, such as the rinsing of cups and pots and of bronze utensils, and the washing of beds.)

Mark 7:5

And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?

And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?

So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him: "Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?"

Mark 7:6

And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

"Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites," He replied; "as it is written, "`This People honour Me with their lips, while their hearts are far away from Me:

Mark 7:7

But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.

But idle is their devotion while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'

Mark 7:8

For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.

For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.

"You neglect God's Commandment: you hold fast to men's traditions."

Mark 7:9

And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

Mark 7:11

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift,) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.

But *you* say, `If a man says to his father or mother, It is a Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God), whatever it is, which otherwise you would have received from me '

Mark 7:12

You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother;

And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,

And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother,

Mark 7:13

Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.

thus nullifying God's precept by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things of that kind you do."

Mark 7:14

Mark 7:15

There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.

"Have *you* also so little understanding?" He replied; "do you not understand that anything whatever that enters a man from outside cannot make him unclean,

Mark 7:19

Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.

Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?

because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?" By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean.
