Matthew 15:4-6

Traditions and Commandments

4 For God commanded, k 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, l 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.' 5 But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or his mother, "What you would have gained from me is given to God," 1 6 he need not honor his father.' So for the sake of your tradition you have m made void the word 2 of God.
