For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.":3 He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? Mt 15:6 ‘then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. Mr 7:8 "For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men——the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do 7:9 He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. Mr 7:13 "making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.“ Col 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
