Mark 7:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible
9 He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
11 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),
12 he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
