Mark 7:6 in Context — Mark 7

4 et, quand ils reviennent de la place publique, ils ne mangent qu’après s’être purifiés. Ils ont encore beaucoup d’autres observances traditionnelles, comme le lavage des coupes, des cruches et des vases d’airain.

5 Et les pharisiens et les scribes lui demandèrent: Pourquoi tes disciples ne suivent-ils pas la tradition des anciens, mais prennent-ils leurs repas avec des mains impures?

6 Jésus leur répondit: Hypocrites, Ésaïe a bien prophétisé sur vous, ainsi qu’il est écrit: Ce peuple m’honore des lèvres, Mais son cœur est éloigné de moi.

7 C’est en vain qu’ils m’honorent, En donnant des préceptes qui sont des commandements d’hommes.

8 Vous abandonnez le commandement de Dieu, et vous observez la tradition des hommes.
