Mark 7:9-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!(A) 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.’(B) 11 But you say that if anyone tells father or mother, ‘Whatever support you might have had from me is Corban’ (that is, an offering to God[a]),(C) 12 then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother, 13 thus nullifying the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this.”
