/7:8/ You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition." /7:9/ Then he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition! /7:10/ For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.' /7:11/ 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)-- /7:12/ then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother, /7:13/ thus making void the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this."

= Matt 15:3-6
/15:3/ He answered them, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? /15:4/ For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.' /15:5/ But you say that whoever tells father or mother, 'Whatever support you might have had from me is given to God,' then that person need not honor the father. /15:6/ So, for the sake of your tradition, you make void the word of God.

(1b) GNaz 12
