Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 “Why do Your disciples(A) break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat!”(B)
3 He answered them, “And why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition? 4 For God said:
Honor your father and your mother;(C) and,
The one who speaks evil of father or mother
must be put to death.(D)
