1. Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem--scribes and Pharisees--saying,
2. `Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'
3. And he answering said to them, `Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
4. for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother--let him die the death;
5. but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; --
6. and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
