The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: MAT 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
Jerusalem, saying,
MAT 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
MAT 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress
the commandment of God by your tradition?
MAT 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and,
He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
MAT 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother,
It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
MAT 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
