Mark 7:14

"making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”"

Key Reflection

Jesus criticizes the Pharisees for prioritizing their traditions over the teachings of Scripture, effectively nullifying God's word. This highlights the tension between adherence to human tradition and faithful obedience to divine commandment.
