But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban” — ’ (that is, a gift to God),
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and understand:
What Defiles a Man
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.
There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
