'Tradition' in the Bible
'Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'
And he answering said to them, 'Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,
Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, 'Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'
for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'
And he said to them, 'Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'
