Mark 7:7-13

7They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.’

8Having no regard for the command of God, you hold fast to human tradition.”

9He also said to them, “You neatly reject the commandment of God in order to set up your tradition.

10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’

11But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you would have received from me is corban’ (that is, a gift for God),

12then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother.

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