scribes3Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23

Jesus said to the Pharisees and scribes:
“Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written:

This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.

You disregard God’s commandments but cling to human tradition.”
