Mark 7:1-8

1 Then the Perushim, and some of the Sofrim gathered together to him, having come from Yerushalayim.
2 Now when they saw some of his talmidim eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 (For the Perushim, and all the Yehudim, don't eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the Zakenim.
4 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.)
5 The Perushim and the Sofrim asked him, "Why don't your talmidim walk according to the tradition of the Zakenim, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"
6 He answered them, "Well did Yesha`yahu prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.
7 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrines the mitzvot of men.'
8 "For you set aside the mitzvah of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men -- the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things."
