² “Why do Your disciples violate the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”

³ But He answered them, “Why do you also violate the commandment of God by your tradition? ⁴ For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and mother,’^[a] and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’^[b]
