Matthew 15:2-6
English Standard Version
2 (A)“Why do your disciples break (B)the tradition of the elders? (C)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, (D)‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, (E)‘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,”[a] 6 he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have (F)made void the word[b] of God.
