2. Why do thy disciples trangress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3. But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:
4. Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.
