Mark 7:7-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. Their worship of me is worthless.The things they teach are nothingbut human rules they have memorized.’ Isaiah 29:13

8. You have stopped following the commands of God. Now you only follow the teachings of men.”

9. Then Jesus said to them: “You think you are clever! You ignore the commands of God so that you can follow your own teachings!

10. Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother.’ Then Moses also said, ‘Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death.’

11. But you teach that a person can say to his father or mother, ‘I have something I could use to help you. But I will not use it for you. I will give it to God.’
