Matthew 15:4

He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

My son, keep your father’s commandment, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’ ”

But he turned, and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.”

A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

“You shall have no other gods before me.

You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.

“ ‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.

“Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn’t bless their mother.

Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children and they have rebelled against me.

“ ‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am Yahweh.

“ ‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.

“ ‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.

You shall keep his statutes and his commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for all time.

You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.

“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.

Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

In you have they treated father and mother with contempt. Among you they have oppressed the foreigner. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.

But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’ ”

“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

You shall fear Yahweh your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

Listen to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old.

“Therefore night is over you, with no vision, and it is dark to you, that you may not divine; and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the day will be black over them.

But you have turned away from the path. You have caused many to stumble in the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says Yahweh of Armies.

“Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.

‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.

If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:

“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? Says Yahweh of Armies to you, priests, who despise my name. You say, ‘How have we despised your name?’

For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’

Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

“ ‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.

‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother.’ All the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”

Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

“The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.

Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’ ”

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
