3 Jesus replied, "And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God?4 For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’15:4a Exod 20:12; Deut 5:16.and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’15:4b Exod 21:17 (Greek version); Lev 20:9 (Greek version).5 But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’6 In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents.15:6 Greek their father; other manuscripts read their father or their mother.And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition.
