Mark 7:11 · American Standard Version

Mark 7:11 in context

  1. 9He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
  2. 10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
  3. 11But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,” ’ ” that is to say, given to God,
  4. 12“then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
  5. 13making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
