Mark 7:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]Then he answered and said unto them, Surely (A)Isaiah hath prophesied well of you, hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with lips, but their heart is far away from me.
7 [b]But they worship me in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 [c]For ye lay the Commandments of God apart, and observe the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and of cups, and many other such like things ye do.
