Matthew Chapter 5 V 3-8
Then came to Jesus scribes
and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem,
saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the
tradition of the elders? for they wash not
their hands when they eat bread. But he
answered and said unto them, Why do ye also
transgress the commandment of God by your
tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour
thy father and mother: and, He that curseth
father or mother, let him die the death. But
ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or
his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou
mightest be profited by me; 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. Ye
hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you,
saying, This people draweth nigh unto me
with their mouth, and honoureth me with
their lips; but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men.
