The Gospel of Mark (10) "Jesus.....sinner?" Dave Criddle teaching from the seventh chapter of the Gospel of Mark where we see the Pharisees once again challenging JesusÂ’ behaviour, and accusing his disciples of sinfulness in not following the traditions of ceremonial cleansing prior to eating. Jesus draws the distinction between tradition and Scripture, practice and real priority. He suggests that cleanliness of heart should be of greater concern than external cleanliness / ritual.
