Matthew 15:3-9 ▼

3 And He answering said to them, “Why also do you transgress the command of God because of your tradition?

4 For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;

5 but you say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever you may be profited by me—

6 and he may not honor his father or his mother, and you set aside the command of God because of your tradition.

7 Hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying,

8 This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it honors Me, but their heart is far off from Me;

9 and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings—commands of men.”
