he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
Matthew 15:6 in context
Matthew 15:3–9
He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
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,”
he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
‘These people draw near to me with their mouth,
and honor me with their lips;
but their heart is far from me.
And they worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
