From "Journey To Babel"
Spock's father Sarek suffers a cardiovascular malfunction, and is rushed to sick bay, where McCoy determines that he will require immediate surgery. Since there is a shortage of his blood type, Spock volunteers to donate his own blood for the operation, using an experimental stimulant to increase blood production.
Meanwhile, Captain Kirk is seriously wounded and taken to sickbay. In accordance with regulations, despite the objections of McCoy and his mother Amanda, Spock halts his participation in Sarek's procedure and assumes command of the Enterprise, as the situation is too critical to leave in the command of a less experienced officer.
Thus Spock honors his father by doing the logical thing (taking command of the ship) even though it may cost Sarek his life.
