Mark 7:8 in Context — Mark 7
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.
9 Il leur dit encore: Vous anéantissez fort bien le commandement de Dieu, pour garder votre tradition.
10 Car Moïse a dit:Honore ton père et ta mère; et:Celui qui maudira son père ou sa mère sera puni de mort.
