Jesus was appalled (Mt 15:3-6, Mk 7:8-13) that they had the gall to start their own tradition - a tradition of not killing disobedient children as the law commanded (Ex 21:15, Lev 20:9, Dt 21:18-21). Sufficiently so that he was convinced that it was more important to kill your children than to wash your hands. Because there should be no mistake: the old Mosaic laws remain in effect... forever. (Mt 5:17-19, Lu 16:16-17)
