Matthew 15:4 in Context — Matthew 15

2 ¿Por qué tus discípulos traspasan la tradición de los ancianos? porque no se lavan las manos cuando comen pan.

3 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿Por qué también vosotros traspasáis el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición?

4 Porque Dios mandó, diciendo: Honra al padre y á la madre, y, El que maldijere al padre ó á la madre, muera de muerte.

5 Mas vosotros decís: Cualquiera que dijere al padre ó á la madre: [Es ya] ofrenda mía [á Dios] todo aquello con que pudiera valerte;

6 No deberá honrar á su padre ó á su madre [con socorro]. Así habéis invalidado el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición.
