Marco 7:10

10 Perciocchè Mosè ha detto: Onora tuo padre, e tua madre; e: Chi maledice padre, o madre, muoia di morte.

Marco 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 7:10

For Moses said
That is, God by Moses; for the following precept was spoken by God, and written by him on one of the tables of stone, and delivered into the hands of Moses, to be given to the children of Israel:

honour thy father and thy mother,
( Exodus 20:12 ) , the sanction of which law is,

and whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death,
( Exodus 21:17 ) . As the former of these commands is to be understood, not only of honouring parents in thought, word, and deed, but also of providing for them, when in want and distress, through poverty and old age; so the latter is to be interpreted, not merely of wishing or imprecating the most dreadful things upon parents, which some may not be guilty of, and yet transgress this command; but likewise of every slight put upon them, and neglect of them, when in necessitous circumstances: and both these laws were broken by the Jews, through their tradition hereafter mentioned; (See Gill on Matthew 15:4).

Marco 7:10 In-Context

8 Avendo lasciato il comandamento di Dio, voi tenete la tradizione degli uomini, i lavamenti degli orciuoli e delle coppe, e fate assai altre simili cose.

9 Disse loro ancora: Bene annullate voi il comandamento di Dio, per osservar la vostra tradizione.

10 Perciocchè Mosè ha detto: Onora tuo padre, e tua madre; e: Chi maledice padre, o madre, muoia di morte.

11 Ma voi dite: Se un uomo dice a suo padre, od a sua madre: Tutto ciò, onde tu potresti esser sovvenuto da me, sia Corban cioè offerta a Dio,

12 voi non gli lasciate più far cosa alcuna per suo padre, o per sua madre;
