Matthew 15:4 In-Context
2
"Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat."
3
He answered them, "And why do you break the 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
he need not honor his father.' So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.
