1. Then certain scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem came unto Jesus, saying,
2. Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4. For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother, and, He that curses father or mother, let him die without recourse.
