Jesus replied, “You
hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote,
‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship is a farce, for they teach
man-made ideas as
commands from God.’[Isa 29:13] For you ignore God’s law and
substitute your own tradition.”
- Mark 7:6-8 (NLT)
This was the same problem Jesus had with the Pharisees. Instead of
keeping God's commandments, they made up
their own rules on how to worship.
Jesus clearly tells them that their worship is worthless.
