“And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.”
So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. The charge: the Pharisees have nullified the word of God through their tradition. The tradition that was designed to protect the law has become the instrument by which the law is violated. The very mechanism created to honor God is used to dishonor parents — and God's command says both are required.
