For those who don't know, the Babylonian Talmud is the written form of the "Oral Traditions" of the Pharisees. The same Oral Traditions Jesus accused the Pharisees of elevating above God's Law (Torah).

Matthew 15:3-9 (NIV):

"Jesus replied, 'And why do you [Pharisees] break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?'... Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition."

Mark 7:8-13 (NIV):

"You [Pharisees] have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions… Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."
