Matthew 15:4
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother— (Deuteronomy 5:16).
and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death— (Exodus 21:17).
2 a“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, a‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, b‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, a“Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”—
6 then he need not honor his father1 or mother.’ Thus you have made the2 commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
