Matthew 15:4 in Context — Matthew 15
2 Pourquoi tes disciples transgressent-ils la tradition des anciens? Car ils ne se lavent pas les mains, quand ils prennent leurs repas.
3 Il leur répondit: Et vous, pourquoi transgressez-vous le commandement de Dieu au profit de votre tradition?
4 Car Dieu a dit: Honore ton père et ta mère; et:Celui qui maudira son père ou sa mère sera puni de mort.
5 Mais vous, vous dites: Celui qui dira à son père ou à sa mère: Ce dont j’aurais pu t’assister est une offrande à Dieu, n’est pas tenu d’honorer son père ou sa mère.
6 Vous annulez ainsi la parole de Dieu au profit de votre tradition.
