Matthew 15:3-6 ▼

3 But he answered them, |Why do you also disregard the commandment of God because of your tradition?

4 Because God said, 'You are to honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever curses father or mother must certainly be put to death.'

5 But you say, 'Whoever tells his father or his mother, |Whatever support you might have received from me has been given to God,|

6 does not have to honor his father.' Because of your tradition, then, you have disregarded the authority of God's word.
