Mark 7:1 - 13

The disciples (those who followed Jesus) were criticized for their failure to follow the established traditions of the Jewish faith.  The religious leaders assumed that this failure was due to the teaching of their rabbi, Jesus; they questioned Him about the failures of His followers.  Jesus responded with an extraordinary comment - that God is more impressed with the attitude of the heart than the action of the jaw.  It is more important to draw near to God with the heart than to just claim to follow Him without any supporting actions.
