Commentary on Matthew 15:4
Jesus quotes the fifth commandment, 'Honour thy father and mother,' linking it to divine authority. This commandment carries both promise and threat—long life for obedience, death penalty for disobedience (Exodus 21:17). Reformed theology emphasizes the Ten Commandments' continuing moral authority. Jesus uses Scripture to expose how Pharisaic tradition violated God's law. The appeal to 'God commanded' establishes divine authority over human tradition.
