Matthew 15:2-6

2“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they 1do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”

3And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

4For God said, ‘2Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘3He who speaks evil of father or mother is to 4be put to death.’

5But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been 5given to God,”

6he is not to honor his father or his mother6.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
