How had they done this?

Answer

"For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother. But you say, Whosoever shall say to his father
or his mother, It is a gift. . . . and honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have you made
the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition." Verses 4-6.
