To obey the law or practice traditions ~ Cross reference of Mark 7:10 to Exodus 20:12
In Mark 7 "the Pharisees" get a beating from Jesus for asking why Jesus's disciples do not wash their hands before eating. They were right in asking it as one can get infections by eating with dirty hands. Jesus first quotes Isaiah 29 to say that Isaiah prophesied that 700 years later the Pharisees will give more importance to traditions than to the laws of G-d. He then goes onto to use Exodus 20:12 about how they were not obeying the law to honor parents by using the excuse of [Corban] vows to take precedence over the law. He then sums it up all up by saying that what goes in does not defile a person but what comes out from the heart does. All Images are links to Google Images. Copyright violations not intended.
