Matthew 15:5
There was, in Jesus day, a practice of avoiding the commandment to honor one’s parents. Though this may not have been practiced widely, the fact of its very existence proves Jesus’ point. The Jews, even today, have devised clever ways of getting around the inconveniences that keeping the law of God puts upon them.
