3 "Why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?" Jesus replied. 4 "For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’15:4. Quoting Exodus 20:12 or Deuteronomy 5:16. and ‘Those who curse their father or mother should be put to death.’15:4. Quoting Exodus 21:17 or Leviticus 20:9. 5 But you say that if someone tells their father or mother, ‘Whatever you might have expected to get from me is now a gift to God,’ then 6 they don’t have to honor their father. In this way you’ve annulled God’s word for the sake of your tradition.
