1 About this time some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem. They asked Jesus,
2 “Why don't your disciples obey what our ancestors taught us to do? They don't even wash their hands before they eat.”
3 Jesus answered:Why do you disobey God and follow your own teaching?
4 Didn't God command you to respect your father and mother? Didn't he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents?
