Mark 7:11-13
New English Translation

11 But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you would have received from me is corban’[a] (that is, a gift for God), 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify[b] the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this.”

Footnotes

  1. Mark 7:11 sn Corban is a Hebrew loanword (transliterated in the Greek text and in most modern English translations) referring to something that has been set aside as a gift to be given to God at some later date, but which is still in the possession of the owner (L&N 53.22). According to contemporary Jewish tradition the person who made this claim was absolved from responsibility to support or assist his parents, a clear violation of the Mosaic law to honor one’s parents (v. 10).
  2. Mark 7:13 tn Grk “nullifying.” This participle shows the results of the Pharisees’ command.
