Mark 7:9-13

Jesus continued speaking, “You have a fine way of setting aside God’s commands! You do this so you can follow your own teachings. Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother.’ He also said, ‘Anyone who asks for bad things to happen to their father or mother must be put to death.’ But you allow people to say that what might have been used to help their parents is Corban. Corban means A Gift Set Apart for God. So you no longer let them do anything for their parents. You make the word of God useless by putting your own teachings in its place. And you do many things like this.”
