Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death. The scribes held that these words, even when pronounced in spite and anger against parents who needed succour, excused the son from his natural duty; and, on the other hand, did not oblige him really to devote the sum to the service of God or of the temple.
