Mark 7:2-17

²And when they sawe certayne of his disciples eate breed with comen hondes (that is to saye with vnwesshen hondes) they complayned.

³For the pharises and all the Iewes excepte they washe their hondes ofte eate not observinge the tradicions of the elders.

⁴And when they come from the market except they washe they eate not. And many other thinges ther be which they have taken apon them to observe as the wasshinge of cuppes and cruses and of brasen vessels and of tables.

⁵Then axed him the pharises and scribes why walke not thy disciples accordinge to the tradicions of the elders but eate breede with vnweshen hondes?

⁶He answered and sayde vnto them: well prophesied Esaias of you ypocrites as it is writte: This people honoreth me with their lyppes but their hert is farre from me:

⁷In vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctryns which are nothinge but the comaundementes of men.

⁸For ye laye the commaundement of God aparte and observe the tradicions of men as the wesshinge of cruses and of cuppes and many other suche lyke thinges ye do.

⁹And he sayde vnto them: well ye cast asyde the comaundement of God to mayntayne youre owne tradicions.

¹⁰For Moses sayde: Honoure thy father and thy mother: and whosoever cursseth father or mother let him dye for it.

¹¹But ye saye: a man shall saye to father or mother Corban: which is: that thou desyrest of me to helpe the with is geven God.

¹²And so ye soffre him no more to do ought for his father or his mother

¹³makinge the worde of God of none effecte through youre awne tradicions which ye have ordeyned. And many soche thinges ye do.

¹⁴And he called all the people vnto him and sayde vnto them: Herken vnto me every one of you and vnderstonde.

¹⁵There is no thinge with out a man that can defyle him when it entreth into him: but thoo thinges which procede out of him are those which defyle the man.

¹⁶If eny man have eares to heare let him heare

¹⁷And when he came to house awaye from the people his disciples axed him of the similitude.
