² "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

⁴ For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

⁶ he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
