Commentary on Mark 7:13

Theological / Devotional

Of none effect. That is, for all practical purposes, invalidating the fifth commandment. Jesus stood before the assembled throng as the champion of their rights, whereas the scribes and Pharisees were revealed in their true light as hypocrites (see v. 6) and as enemies of both God and their fellow men.

Many such like things. The example Christ here employed was not an isolated one, as the scribes and Pharisees themselves well knew.
