Matthew 15:4-6
New Matthew Bible
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother, and, He who curses father or mother shall suffer death. 5 But you say every man should tell his father or mother, That which you desire of me, to help you with, is given for God – 6 and so he should not honour his father or mother. And thus you have made the commandment of God to be without effect, through your precepts.

Matthew 15:4-6
New International Version
4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a](A) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b](B) 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
