Matthew 15:6 In-Context

4 God said, 'Honor your father and mother.'(Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16) He also said, 'If anyone calls down a curse on his father or mother, he will be put to death.'(Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9)
5 But you allow people to say to their parents, 'Any help you might have received from us is a gift set apart for God.'
6 So they do not need to honor their parents with their gift. You make the word of God useless in order to follow your own teachings.
7 "You pretenders! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you. He said,
8 " 'These people honor me by what they say. But their hearts are far away from me.
