Mark 7
1. The Pharisees find fault with the disciples for eating with unwashed hands.
8. They break the commandment of God by the traditions of men.
14. Food defiles not the man.
24. He heals the Syrophenician woman's daughter of an unclean spirit;
31. and one that was deaf, and stammered in his speech.














(13) Making the word of God of none effect.--Again the Greek word is somewhat more technical, making null and void, cancelling, as in Galatians 3:17.

Through your tradition.--Here the structure of the sentence points to the "tradition" as being the instrument with which the Law was made null and void. In Matthew 15:6 the meaning is slightly different (see Note there).

Many such like things.--Assuming the words "washing of cups and pots," in Mark 7:8, to be genuine, there is an emphatic scorn expressed in this iteration of the same formula.
