Matthew 15:3-6

3 He answered them, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

4 For God said, "Honor your father and your mother,' and, "Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.'

5 But you say that whoever tells father or mother, "Whatever support you might have had from me is given to God,' then that person need not honor the father.

6 So, for the sake of your tradition, you make void the word of God.
