1. Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, who were of Jerusalem, saying,
2. Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3. But he answered and said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4. For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
