And from the forum, unless they may baptize themselves, they do not eat: and many other things which they have received to hold, the baptism of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Wherefore do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders: but they eat bread with unwashed hands? And responding He said to them, Beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as has been written, This people honor me with lips, but their heart is far from me. In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.

You made void the commandment of God by your tradition. read more.

Have you not read in the law, that the priests in the temple do profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? But I say unto you, that there is One here greater than the temple.
