The Priests’ Polluted Offerings
6 j“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am ka father, where is my honor? And if I am la master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. mBut you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’Matthew 15:4-6
4For God commanded, n‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, o‘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 qmade void the word ▼▼Some manuscripts law
of God. Matthew 19:19
19Honor your father and mother, and, sYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.”Ephesians 6:1-3
