King James Version
But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?(Matthew 15:3)
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.(Matthew 15:4)
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;(Matthew 15:5)
And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,(Matthew 15:7)
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.(Matthew 15:8)
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.(Matthew 15:9)
