Matthew 15:3-9

3And He answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “WhyG1223 do you yourselvesG4771 transgressG3845 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 for the sakeG1223 of your traditionG3862? 4For GodG2316 saidG3004, ‘1HonorG5091 your fatherG3962 and motherG3384,’ and, ‘2He who speaksG2551 evilG2551 of fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384 is to 3be putG5053 to deathG2288.’ 5But you sayG3004, ‘WhoeverG3739G302 saysG3004 to his fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, “WhateverG3739G1437 I haveG1473 that would helpG5623 you has been 4givenG1435 to God,” 6he is not to honorG5091 his fatherG3962 orG2228 his motherG33845.’ And by this you invalidatedG208 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 for the sakeG1223 of your traditionG3862. 7You hypocritesG5273, rightlyG2573 did IsaiahG2268 prophesyG4395 of you:8‘6ThisG3778 peopleG2992 honorsG5091 Me with their lipsG5491, But their heartG2588 is farG4206 awayG568 from Me.9But in vainG3155 do they worshipG4576 Me, TeachingG1321 as 7doctrinesG1319 the preceptsG1778 of menG444.’”
