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.(Matthew 15:6)

And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:(Matthew 15:10)
