For God said: Honor your father and your mother; and, The one who speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.

he does not have to honor his father.' In this way, you have revoked God's word because of your tradition. Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said: These people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. They worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commands of men. " Summoning the crowd, He told them, "Listen and understand: It's not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."

These are the things that defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man."
