Matthew 15

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. 7 You hypocrites! How well Isaiah described you when he prophesied: 8 ‘These people say they honor me but in their minds they don’t care about me.*15:8. Or "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are a long way from me." 9 Their worship of me is pointless. What they teach are just man-made requirements.’"*15:9. Quoting Isaiah 29:13.
