Matthew 15:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
In context
4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
5 But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’
6 he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:
8 ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
