3. Jesus answered:Why do you disobey God and follow your own teaching?
4. Didn't God command you to respect your father and mother? Didn't he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents?
5. But you let people get by without helping their parents when they should. You let them say that what they have has been offered to God.
6. Is this any way to show respect to your parents? You ignore God's commands in order to follow your own teaching.
7. And you are nothing but show-offs! Isaiah the prophet was right when he wrote that God had said,
8. “All of you praise mewith your words,but you never reallythink about me.
9. It is useless for youto worship me,when you teach rulesmade up by humans.”
