1 THEN Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came up to Jesus, saying, 2 Why do your disciples disregard the tradition of the elders, and they do not wash their hands when they eat food? 3 Jesus answered and said to them, Why do you also disregard the commandment of God on account of your tradition. 4 For God said, Honor your father and your mother, and whoever curses his father and his mother, let him be put to death. 5 But you say, Whoever says to a father or to a mother, Whatever you may be benefited from me is Corban (my offering), he need not honor his father or his mother. 6 So you have rendered useless the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
