For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Ihr verlasset Gottes Gebot, und haltet der Menschen Aufsätze von Krügen und Trinkgefäßen zu waschen; und desgleichen tut ihr viel.
Porque dejando el mandamiento de Dios, tenéis la tradición de los hombres; las lavaduras de los jarros y de los vasos de beber: y hacéis otras muchas cosas semejantes.
Vous abandonnez le commandement de Dieu, et vous observez la tradition des hommes.
Avendo lasciato il comandamento di Dio, voi tenete la tradizione degli uomini, i lavamenti degli orciuoli e delle coppe, e fate assai altre simili cose.
Porque, deixando o mandamento de Deus, retendes a tradição dos homens; como o lavar dos jarros e dos copos; e fazeis muitas outras coisas semelhantes a estas.
你們是離棄上帝的誡命,拘守人的傳統。」
