3 Jesus answering, said to them, Why do you yourselves by your tradition, transgress the commandment of God?4 «For God has commanded, saying,'Honor father and mother'; and'Whosoever reviles father or mother, let him be punished with death.'»5 But you affirm, If a man say to father or mother, I devote whatever of mine shall profit you,6 he shall not afterward honor by his assistance, his father or his mother. Thus, by your tradition, you annul the commandment of God.7 Hypocrites, well do you suit the character which Isaiah gave of you, saying,8 «This people honor me with their lips. though their heart is estranged from me.»9 «But in vain they worship me, while they teach institutions merely human.»
