Mark 7:6-13

Mark 7:6-13 CPDV

But in response, he said to them: "So well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, just as it has been written: 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and precepts of men.' For abandoning the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men, to the washing of pitchers and cups. And you do many other things similar to these." And he said to them: "You effectively nullify the precept of God, so that you may observe your own tradition. For Moses said: 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever will have cursed father or mother, let him die a death.' But you say, 'If a man will have said to his father or mother: Korban, (which is a gift) whatever is from me will be to your benefit,' then you do not release him to do anything for his father or mother, rescinding the word of God through your tradition, which you have handed down. And you do many other similar things in this way."
