Matthew 15:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ God said, ‘Honor your father and mother.’ (Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16) He also said, ‘Anyone who asks for bad things to happen to their father or mother must be put to death.’ (Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9) ⁵ But suppose people have something that might be used to help their parents. You allow them to say it is instead ‘a gift set apart for God.’ ⁶ So they do not need to honor their father or mother with their gift. You make the word of God useless in order to follow your own teachings.
