Matthew 15:4-6

4 "For God said, '¹HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,' and, '²HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH.'

5 "But you say, 'Whoever * says to his father or mother, "Whatever * I have that would help you has been given to God,"

6 he is not to honor his father or his mother .' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
