Mark 7:6-13

6And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘1This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me.72But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’ 8Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the 3tradition of men.”

9He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your 4tradition. 10For Moses said, ‘5Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘6He who speaks evil of father or mother, is to 7be put to death’; 11but you say, ‘If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is 8Corban (that is to say, 9given to God),’ 12you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13thus invalidating the word of God by your 10tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
