Mark 7:9-13

New Revised Standard NRS

9 Then he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!

10 For Moses said, "Honor your father and your mother'; and, "Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.'

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 )—

12 then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother,

13 thus making void the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this."

New International Version NIV

9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observeyour own traditions!

10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’

11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—

12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.

13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”
