Context of Mark 7:13

11But you say, ‘If a person tells his father or mother that whatever he might have used to help them is corban (that is, an offering to God), 12he no longer has to do anything for his father or mother.’ Because of your traditions you have destroyed the authority of God’s word. And you do many other things like that.” 14Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and try to understand! 15Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. It’s what comes out of a person that makes him unclean.
