2
"Why don't your followers obey the unwritten laws which have been handed down to us? They don't wash their hands before they eat."
3
Jesus answered, "And why do you refuse to obey God's command so that you can follow your own teachings?
4
God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death.'
5
But you say a person can tell his father or mother, 'I have something I could use to help you, but I have given it to God already.'
6
You teach that person not to honor his father or his mother. You rejected what God said for the sake of your own rules.
