6 WYC and he hath not worschipid his fadir or his modir; and ye han maad the maundement of God voide for youre tradicioun. BSB BSB: he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

9 WYC and thei worschipen me `with outen cause, techynge the doctrines and maundementis of men. BSB BSB: They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
