3 He answered them, |Why do you break the commandment of God because of your traditions? 4 For example, God said, 'Honor your father and your mother' and 'Whoever curses father or mother must be put to death.' 5 But you say that whoever tells his father or mother, 'I have given to God whatever support you might have received from me,' 6 does not have to honor his father. Because of your traditions you have destroyed the authority of God's word. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 Their worship of me is pointless, because their teachings are rules made by humans.'| Matthew 15:3-9, God's Word Translation.
