Mark 7:6-9
New International Version
6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
“‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;

9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[b] your own traditions!(C)
