1. Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, who were from Jerusalem, saying,
2. Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3. But he answered and said unto them,
4. For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death.
5. But you say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift devoted to God, whatsoever you might have received from me;
6. And honors not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have you made the commandment of God void by your tradition.
