One man made tradition is to suppose that when Jesus said "for the sake of your tradition," he was talking about ALL tradition.

Except that, in Mark's version of this story, Jesus is very clear that he is not stating a specific example, but a pattern of abuse:

Mark 7: 13 "Thus you nullify the word of G-d by your traditions that you have handed down. AND YOU DO MANY THINGS LIKE THIS."

Beautiful and worth repeating....

Mark 7: 13 Jesus said.... "Thus you nullify the word of G-d by your traditions that you have handed down. AND YOU DO MANY THINGS LIKE THIS."

Mark 7: 13 "Thus you nullify the word of G-d by your traditions that you have handed down. AND YOU DO MANY THINGS LIKE THIS."

Okay. Then it's a man made tradition that by "you" Jesus means to refer to Catholics as well as Pharisees AND/OR that by 'many such things' he means "all such things."

Interesting; that members of the Roman "church"
reject the very words of Yah'shua condemning
them for rejecting His Word and impugning it
with their man-made traditions.

Mark 7:1-23 is very instructive on traditions of
the Elders impugning the Holy Word of YHvH.
