Exegesis
The second clause employs the aorist verb ēkyrṓsate {ἠκυρώσατε | ēkyrṓsate} to assign to the audience a completed action of nullifying, with the object ton lógon toû theoû {τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ | tón lógon toû theoû} specifying its divine origin.
In context — Matthew 15:6
He absolutely will not honor his father, and you have nullified the word of God because of your tradition .
