Mark 7:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 7:8

6 He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you ^ahypocrites, as it is written:
^b‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.

7 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men —the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”

9 He said to them, “All too well ^ayou reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

10 For Moses said, ^a‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ^b‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’

11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, ^a“Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God),
