'Tradition' in the Bible

“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat!”

He answered them, “And why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?

he does not have to honor his father.’ In this way, you have revoked God’s word because of your tradition.

(For the Pharisees, in fact all the Jews, will not eat unless they wash their hands ritually, keeping the tradition of the elders.

Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, “Why don’t Your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders, instead of eating bread with ritually unclean hands?”

Disregarding the command of God, you keep the tradition of men.”

He also said to them, “You completely invalidate God’s command in order to maintain your tradition!

You revoke God’s word by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many other similar things.”

Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world, and not based on Christ.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from every brother who walks irresponsibly and not according to the tradition received from us.
