Matthew 15:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 For God said [in Ex 20:12]: ‘Be honoring your father and your mother’, and [in Ex 21:17] ‘Let the one speaking-evil-of father or mother come-to-an-end[a] by a death’. 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or his mother: “Whatever you might be benefitted from me is a gift[b] [to God]” 6 shall by-no-means honor[c] his father’. And you nullified[d] the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
