Matthew 5:21-26

Anger

21 a“You have heard that it was said to those of old, b‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable cto judgment.’ 22But I say to you that deveryone who is angry with his brother
Some manuscripts insert without cause
will be liable fto judgment; whoever insults
Greek says Raca to (a term of abuse)
his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to hthe hell
Greek Gehenna; also verses 29, 30
of fire.
23 jSo if kyou are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 lCome to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26Truly, I say to you, myou will never get out until you have paid the last penny.

Matthew 15:4-6

4For God commanded, oHonor your father and your mother,’ and, p‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”
Or  is an offering
6he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have rmade void the word
Some manuscripts law
of God.

Mark 7:8-13

8You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”

9And he said to them, “You have a fine way of trejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10For Moses said, uHonor your father and your mother’; and, v‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 11But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God)
Or an offering
12then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13thus xmaking void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
