Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be picked out by the ravens of the valley and eaten by the vultures.
Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching,
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise),
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.
“‘Cursed be anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’
For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.
There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
