THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK - Chapter 7 - Verse 8

Verse 8. Laying aside. Rejecting, or making it give place to traditions; considering the traditions as superior in authority to the Divine law. This was the uniform doctrine of the Pharisees. See Mt 15:1-9.

The tradition of men. What has been handed down by men, or what rests solely on their authority.

{p} "For laying aside" Isa 1:12
