5. But you say, If anyone tells his father or mother, What you would have gained from me [that is, the money and whatever I have that might be used for helping you] is already dedicated as a gift to God, then he is exempt and no longer under obligation to honor and help his father or his mother.
6. So for the sake of your tradition (the rules handed down by your forefathers), you have set aside the Word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect].
7. You pretenders (hypocrites)! Admirably and truly did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said:
8. These people draw near Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far away from Me.
9. Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands of men. [Isa. 29:13.]
