1 | The Blind leading the blind | Mark 8:18 | daverobertsjr | 210790 | ||
Dear WOS, Jesus was asked by the Pharisees why was it that his disciples did not wash their hands before eating their bread. The answer Jesus gives is confusing. I can't imagine there is anyone who believes that washing one's hands before eating is wrong, therefore my question is why did Jesus call them hypocrites? Dave |

2 | The Blind leading the blind | Mark 8:18 | Wild Olive Shoot | 210802 | ||
Dear Dave, It was how it was intended, not wrong in and of itself. There is nothing wrong with washing your hands before you eat. We all know the benefits of doing so, from nothing else, a health standpoint. But Jesus here focused on why the Pharisee’s pointed this out to begin with and contemptuously at that. You understand that hand washing was not a Law of God, but of the elders? The Pharisee were transgressing the Law of God by their tradition by not honoring their parents but making no mention of it yet had the gull to accuse the disciples of breaking a law, of man, because of their unwashed hands and eating common bread. Do you not see the hypocrisy in that? “Those who charge guilt upon others for transgressing the commandments of men, many times bring greater guilt upon themselves, by transgressing the law of God against rash judging.” – Matthew Henry Stand in His grace, WOS |
