Marcos 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).

Marcos 7:10 In-Context

8 Porque dejando el mandamiento de Dios, tenéis la tradición de los hombres: las lavaduras de los jarros y de los vasos de beber ; y hacéis muchas cosas semejantes a éstas.

9 Les decía también: Bien; invalidáis el mandamiento de Dios para guardar vuestra tradición.

10 Porque Moisés dijo: Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, y: El que maldijera al padre o a la madre, morirá irremisiblemente.

11 Y vosotros decís: Basta si dijere un hombre al padre o a la madre: Todo Corbán (quiere decir, don mío a Dios) todo aquello con que pudiera valerte;

12 y no le dejáis hacer más por su padre o por su madre,
