Mark 7:5-13

5ThenG1899 the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 scribesG1122 askedG1905 himG846, WhyG1302 walkG4043 notG3756 thyG4675 disciplesG3101 accordingG2596 to the traditionG3862 of the eldersG4245, butG235 eatG2068 breadG740 with unwashedG449 handsG5495?

6He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 to themG846, WellG2573 hath IsaiahG2268 prophesiedG4395 concerningG4012 youG5216 hypocritesG5273, asG5613 it is writtenG1125, ThisG3778 peopleG2992 honourethG5091 meG3165 with their lipsG5491, butG1161 theirG846 heartG2588 isG568 farG4206 fromG575 meG1700.

7ButG1161 in vainG3155 do they worshipG4576 meG3165, teachingG1321 for doctrinesG1319 the commandmentsG1778 of menG444.

8ForG1063 laying asideG863 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, ye holdG2902 the traditionG3862 of menG444, as the washingG909 of potsG3582 andG2532 cupsG4221: andG2532 manyG4183 otherG243 suchG5108 like thingsG3946 ye doG4160.

9AndG2532 he saidG3004 to themG846, Full wellG2573 ye rejectG114 the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316, thatG2443 ye may keepG5083 your ownG5216 traditionG3862.1

10ForG1063 MosesG3475 saidG2036, HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 thyG4675 motherG3384; andG2532, Whoever cursethG2551 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, let him dieG5053 the deathG2288:

11ButG1161 yeG5210 sayG3004, IfG1437 a manG444 shall sayG2036 to his fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384, It is CorbanG2878, that is to sayG3603, a giftG1435, byG1537 whateverG3739G1437 thou mightest be profited byG5623 meG1700; he shall be free .

12AndG2532 ye permitG863 himG846 no moreG3765 to doG4160 any thingG3762 for hisG846 fatherG3962 orG2228 hisG846 motherG3384;

13MakingG208 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 of no effectG208 through yourG5216 traditionG3862, whichG3739 ye have deliveredG3860: andG2532 manyG4183 suchG5108 like thingsG3946 ye doG4160.
