³ Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? ⁴ For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’^[a](A) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’^{[b](B) 5} But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ ⁶ they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. ⁷ You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

⁶ He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

⁸ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”^(B)

⁹ 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. And you do many things like that.”
