Mark 7:6-13
New American Standard Bible 1995
6 And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘(A)This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
7 ‘(B)But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’
8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the (C)tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your (D)tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘(E)Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘(F)He who speaks evil of father or mother, is to [a]be put to death’; 11 but you say, ‘If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is (G)Corban (that is to say, [b]given to God),’ 12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13 thus invalidating the word of God by your (H)tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”

Mark 7:6-13
Young's Literal Translation
6 and he answering said to them -- `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me;
7 and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'
9 And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;
10 for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;
11 and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,
12 and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,
13 setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'
