Matthew 15

3 He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’✝15:4 Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’✝15:4 Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9 5 But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God," 6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth,

and honor me with their lips;

but their heart is far from me.

9 And they worship me in vain,

teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’" ✝ 15:9 Isaiah 29:13
