You note it yourself:
Quote:Paraphrased it says: Any honor from me to you, mom and dad, is a gift to god. Jesus says since you have said this, you haven't kept the word of god.
I.e. the Pharisees say it's OK to give to god something you would otherwise have given to your parents, and Jesus says they're wrong.
Quote:why would god have to exaggerate? Exaggeration is a form of sarcasm which isn't in line with how god would communicate
Why not?
