'Customs' in the Bible
He *said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?”
for we have heard him say that this Nazarene, Jesus, will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down to us.”
and are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
and they have been told about you, that you are teaching all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.
especially because you are an expert in all customs and questions among the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.
