Mark 7:2

They had noticed that some of His disciples were eating their food with `unclean' (that is to say, unwashed) hands.

Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

Mark 7:3

(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,

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don't eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

Mark 7:4

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.)

They don't eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

Mark 7:5

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?"

The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"

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?

Mark 7:6

"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:

He answered them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.

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.

Mark 7:7

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

But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'

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

Mark 7:8

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

"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things."

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

Mark 7:9

"Praiseworthy indeed!" He added, "to set at nought God's Commandment in order to observe your own traditions!

Mark 7:11

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 '

But you say, 'If a man will tell his father or his mother, "Whatever you might have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'

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,

Mark 7:12

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

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

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

Mark 7:13

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

making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."

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

Mark 7:18

"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,

He said to them, "Are you so without understanding also? Don't you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can't defile him,

And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,
