"You give up what God has commanded and hold fast to what men have handed down.

"How skilful you are," he said to them, "in nullifying what God has commanded in order to observe what has been handed down to you.

for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill him, and three days after he is killed he will rise again."
