The Second Commandment
and
The Parable of Two Sons
Exodus 20:12
12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
From Luther's Small Catechism:
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.
Matthew 21: 28-32
28 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’
29 And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went.
30 The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.”
