asked Him, “Why do Your
disciples not walk according to the
tradition of the elders, but eat their
bread with impure hands?”
Mark 7:6-8
And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah
prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,
'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH
THEIR LIPS BUT THEIR HEART IS
FAR AWAY FROM ME. 7‘BUT IN VAIN
DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING
AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF
MEN.’ 8 “Neglecting the commandment
of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
True spiritual defilement is a
condition of the heart and is
a result of neglecting Gods
commands.

good, and nothing is to be rejected,
if it is received with gratitude; 5
