Matthew 15:3
King James VersionSource notes
“But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?”
Context
1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to father or mother, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6And honour not his father or his mother, Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
