Colossians 2:22
2:22 These are all destined to perish with use, founded as they are
on human commands and teachings.
Matthew 15:2-9
15:2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their
hands when they eat.”
15:3 He answered them,
“And why do you disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
15:4 For God said,
‘
Honor your father and mother’
and ‘
Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’
15:5 But you say, ‘If someone tells his father or mother, “Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God,”
15:6 he does not need to honor his father.’
You have nullified the word of God on account of your tradition.
15:7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said,
15:8 ‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me,
15:9 and they worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
Mark 7:3-13
7:3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they perform a ritual washing,
holding fast to the tradition of the elders.
7:4 And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. They hold fast to many other traditions: the washing of cups, pots, kettles, and dining couches.
)
7:5 The Pharisees and the experts in the law asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
with unwashed hands?”
7:6 He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
7:7 They worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.’
7:8 Having no regard for the command of God, you hold fast to human tradition.”
7:9 He also said to them, “You neatly reject the commandment of God in order to set up your tradition.
7:10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’
7:11 But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you would have received from me is corban’ (that is, a gift for God),
7:12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother.
7:13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this.”
