2 And they saw that some of Jesus’ disciples ate their bread with unclean hands, that is, unwashed.
3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they perform a ritual washing, holding fast to the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. They hold fast to many other traditions: the washing of cups, pots, kettles, and dining couches.)
5 The Pharisees and the experts in the law asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with unwashed hands?”
6 He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written:‘This people honors me with their lips,but their heart is far from me.
7 They worship me in vain,teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.’
8 Having no regard for the command of God, you hold fast to human tradition.”
