1 Then Pharisees and legal experts came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,
2
"Why are your disciples breaking the elders' rules handed down to us? They don't ritually purify their hands by washing before they eat."
3
Jesus replied, " Why do you break the command of God by keeping the rules handed down to you?
4
For God said, Honor your father and your mother, and The person who speaks against father or mother will certainly be put to death.
5
But you say, ‘If you tell your father or mother, Everything I'm expected to contribute to you I'm giving to God as a gift, then you don't have to honor your father.'
6
So you do away with God's Law for the sake of the rules that have been handed down to you.
