Note sull'episodio
Human traditions and culture can be quite beautiful and valuable, but not if they become an excuse to not love one another. Some of the higher religious authorities travel to see Jesus and when they do, the fixate on how Jesus' disciples fail to follow the tradition of the Pharisees. In a very direct response, Jesus exposes their hypocrisy. He points out that they value their traditions so much that they use them to escape from God's commands. Likewise, our traditions can be quite beautiful and valuable, but they must all be evaluated in the light of God's command to love one another.
