Mark 7:8-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ “You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”^(A)

⁹ Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!^{(B) 10} For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.’^{(C) 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]),^{(D) 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.”
