... had received, such as the washing of cups, and [21] measures, and vessels of brass, and couches. And scribes and Pharisees asked him, [Arabic, p. 79] Why do thy disciples not walk according to the ordinances of the elders, but [22] eat bread without washing their hands? Jesus answered and said unto them, Why do ye also overstep the command of God by reason of your ordinance? [23] God said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whosoever revileth his father and [24] his mother shall surely die.[Mark 7:11] But ye say, If a man say to his father or to his mother, [25] What thou receivest from me is an offering,— and ye suffer him not to do anything [26] for his father or his mother; and ye make void and reject the word of God by reason of the ordinance ...
