4Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.


In Context

1 THEN came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying:

2 Why do thy disciples trangress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

3 But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:

4 Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.

5 But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee.

6 And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition.
