The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: MAR 7:4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat
not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold,
as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
MAR 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy
disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with
unwashen hands?
MAR 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of
you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their
lips, but their heart is far from me.
MAR 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.
