Arabic 2016 (الكِتاب المُقَدَّس: التَّرْجَمَةُ العَرَبِيَّةُ المُبَسَّطَةُ)

لَقَدْ أهمَلْتُمْ وَصَايَا اللهِ، وَتَتْبَعُونَ الآنَ تَقَالِيدَ البَشَر!»

Jesus is speaking in this verse and he's telling the religious leaders that they are more concerned with human traditions, like washing pots, than following God's actual commandments.

شرح للأطفال

Imagine you have a favorite toy, but instead of playing with it how your parents told you to, you make up new rules about how to play with it. Jesus is saying the religious leaders did something similar; they made up their own rules and forgot about what God really wanted them to do.

السياق التاريخي

Mark wrote this gospel around AD 60-70 for a primarily Gentile audience. This verse highlights the tension between Jewish traditions and God's commandments, reflecting the cultural divide of the time.
