Marcos 7:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 7:1

Then came together unto him the Pharisees
Having heard of his miracles, and that he was come into the land of Gennesaret; they consulted with one another, and came together to Jesus, to watch and observe what was said and done by him, and take what advantage they could against him. These were not of that country, but were of Jerusalem, as were their companions the Scribes:

and certain of the Scribes, which were of Jerusalem;
for the fame of Christ had reached the metropolis of the nation; and these men being the more artful and cunning of the whole sect, either came of themselves, or were sent by the sanhedrim, to make their observations upon his doctrine and conduct; (See Gill on Matthew 15:1).

Marcos 7:1 In-Context

1 Foram ter com Jesus os fariseus, e alguns dos escribas vindos de Jerusalém,
2 e repararam que alguns dos seus discípulos comiam pão com as mãos impuras, isto é, por lavar.
3 Pois os fariseus, e todos os judeus, guardando a tradição dos anciãos, não comem sem lavar as mãos cuidadosamente;
4 e quando voltam do mercado, se não se purificarem, não comem. E muitas outras coisas há que receberam para observar, como a lavagem de copos, de jarros e de vasos de bronze.
5 Perguntaram-lhe, pois, os fariseus e os escribas: Por que não andam os teus discípulos conforme a tradição dos anciãos, mas comem o pão com as mãos por lavar?
