“For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.”
For God commanded, honor your father and your mother, and whoever reviles father or mother must surely die. The biblical command that the Pharisees' tradition contradicts: honor your father and your mother (Exodus 20:12) with the associated death penalty for cursing parents (Exodus 21:17). The command to honor parents is the Fifth Commandment — one of the most fundamental ethical commands of the covenant community.
