But, he, answering, said unto them - Wherefore do, ye also, transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For, God, said - Honour thy father and thy mother, and - He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die! But, ye, say - Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother - A gift!
