Notice how Jesus rebuked the Pharisees using Biblical law. He quoted two commands from the Hebrew Scriptures: the Fifth commandment (Exodus 20:12) and another commandment from the law which mandates the civil death penalty for breaking the fifth commandment in a particularly heinous way (cursing one's father or mother, Leviticus 20:9).[1]
