Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Mark 6
⁵³ When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
⁵⁴ When they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him,
⁵⁵ and ran about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to the place they heard He was.
⁵⁶ Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.
Mark 7
¹ The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,
² and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.
³ (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders;
⁴ and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.)
⁵ The Pharisees and the scribes *asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?"
⁶ And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ’THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
⁷ ’BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’
