Mark

Mark 7:9–13

⁹He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain^e your own tradition. ¹⁰For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’^f and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’^g ¹¹But 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), ¹²he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother. ¹³Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
