Chapter 15
1Some Pharisees and teachers of religious law now arrived from Jerusalem to see Jesus. They asked him, 2Why do your disciples disobey our age-old tradition? For they ignore our tradition of ceremonial hand washing before they eat.'
3Jesus replied, 'And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?
4For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’
5But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’
