Marc 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).

Marc 7:10 In-Context

8 Car, en abandonnant le commandement de Dieu, vous observez la tradition des hommes, lavant les pots et les coupes, et faisant beaucoup d'autres choses semblables.

9 Il leur dit aussi: Vous annulez fort bien le commandement de Dieu, pour garder votre tradition;

10 Car Moïse a dit: Honore ton père et ta mère; et que celui qui maudira son père ou sa mère soit puni de mort;

11 Mais vous, vous ajoutez: A moins qu'il n'ait dit à son père ou à sa mère: Tout ce dont je pourrais t'assister est corban, c'est-à-dire, un don consacré à Dieu.

12 Et vous ne lui permettez plus de rien faire pour son père ou pour sa mère;
