In context
1 Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
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.
