“You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”(A)

Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!(B) 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.’(C) 11 But you say that if anyone tells father or mother, ‘Whatever support you might have had from me is Corban’ (that is, an offering to God[a]),(D) 12 then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother, 13 thus nullifying the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on.

And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[b] your own traditions!(C) 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[c](D) and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[d](E) 11 But you say(F) that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God(G) by your tradition(H) that you have handed down.

He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said,[a] ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.’(A) But you say that whoever tells father or mother, ‘Whatever support you might have had from me is given to God,’[b] then that person need not honor the father.[c](B) So, for the sake of your tradition, you nullify the word[d] of God. You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied rightly about you when he said:
