commandment of God for the sake of your
tradition? (4) For God commanded, 'Honor your
father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever reviles
father or mother must surely die.' (5) But you say,
'If anyone tells his father or his mother, "What you
would have gained from me is given to God," (6)

your tradition you have made void the word of God.

and understand: (11) it is not what goes into the
mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out
of the mouth; this defiles a person." (12) Then
the disciples came and said to him, "Do you
know that the Pharisees were offended when
they heard this saying?"
