New Testament

Mark 7:9-13 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. And he said to them, “You splendidly ignore the commandment of God so that you can keep your tradition.

10. For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother must certainly die.’

11. But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or to his mother, “Whatever benefit you would have received from me is corban” (that is, a gift to God),

12. you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother,

13. thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down, and you do many similar things such as this.”
