Mark 7:11
Compare all
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),  
12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,
13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
14 aWhen He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and bunderstand:  
15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that adefile a man.

Mark 7:11

Corban (korban o estin dwron). See on Matthew 15:5. Mark preserves the Hebrew word for a gift or offering to God (Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9), indeclinable here, meaning

gift (dwron), but declinable korbanav in Matthew 27:6, meaning sacred treasury. The rabbis (

but ye say, umeiv de legete) actually allowed the mere saying of this word by an unfaithful son to prevent the use of needed money for the support of father or mother. It was a home thrust to these pettifogging sticklers for ceremonial punctilios. They not only justified such a son's trickery, but held that he was prohibited from using it for father or mother, but he might use it for himself.
