Mark 7:7-8 avnqrw,pwn) avfe,ntejavnqrw,pwn. {A}

The Greek text that lies behind the AV, “as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do,” which is absent from the oldest and best witnesses, is doubtless a scribal addition, derived from ver. Mark 7:4. The fact that the longer reading is found at two different places — at the beginning of ver. Mark 7:8 (D Q al) and at the end of ver. Mark 7:8 (K X P ¦13 33 700 892 al) — likewise indicates its secondary nature.
