The tradition of the elders and the commandment of God
장로들의 유전과 하나님의 계명
Mark 7:1–13: the Pharisees and some of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Jesus and see some of his disciples eating bread with unwashed hands. The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders; they do not eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and they hold to many other things, such as washings of cups, pitchers and bronze vessels. They ask why his disciples do not walk according to the tradition of the elders but eat with unwashed hands. He answers that Isaiah prophesied well of them, hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me,” and that they set aside the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men. Moses said, “Honor your father and your mother,” and, “He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death”; but they say that if a man tells his father or mother that whatever they might have received from him is Corban, given to God, they no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother, and so they make void the word of God by their tradition.

1Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3(For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)
5The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”
6He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8“For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”
9He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
11But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,
12“then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
