1 Then some scribes and Pharisees came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.” 3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ 5 But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’ 6 then he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition. Matthew 15:1-6, Majority Standard Bible. Public domain.
