Wr. 13, 22b τῆς παλιγγενεσίας τὴν παράδοσιν; Tat. 39, 1 τὴν τῶν Ἑλλήνων παράδοσιν; Orig., C. Cels. 1, 52, 15; Hippol., Ref. 9, 23, 1): of the tradition preserved by the scribes and Pharisees (Orig., C. Cels. 2, 1, 46; Hippol., Ref. 9, 28, 4). They themselves called it ἡ παράδοσις τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Mt 15:2; Mk 7:5; cp. vs. 3. In conversation w. them Jesus calls it ἡ παράδοσις ὑμῶν Mt 15:3, 6; Mk 7:9, 13 or even ἡ παράδοσις τῶν ἀνθρώπων vs. 8 (on Pharisaic π. s. ABaumgarten, HTR 80, ’87, 63–77). Paul uses the latter term to characterize dissident teaching at Colossae Col 2:8. In looking back upon his Judean past he calls himself a ζηλωτὴς τῶν πατρικῶν παραδόσεων Gal 1:14 (cp. Jos., Ant. 13, 297 τὰ ἐκ παραδόσεως τῶν πατέρων; 408. By this is meant the tradition of the rabbis [‘fathers’; s. Pirqe Aboth], accepted by Pharisees but rejected by Sadducees).
