Mark 7:13

Read in context

Mark 7:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

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.”

14 Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:

15 Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”
