1 Então [alguns] escribas e fariseus de Jerusalém se aproximaram de Jesus, e perguntaram:
2 Por que os teus discípulos transgridem a tradição dos anciãos? Pois não lavam suas mãos quando comem pão.
3 Porém ele lhes respondeu: E vós, por que transgredis o mandamento de Deus por vossa tradição?
4 Pois Deus mandou, dizendo: Honra ao teu pai e à [tua] mãe; e quem maldisser ao pai ou à mãe seja sentenciado à morte.
