New International Reader's Version

Mark 7:10-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

10. Moses said, 'Honor your father and mother.' (Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16) He also said, 'If anyone calls down a curse on his father or mother, he will be put to death.' (Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9)

11. But you allow people to say to their parents, 'Any help you might have received from us is Corban.' (Corban means 'a gift set apart for God.' )

12. So you no longer let them do anything for their parents.

13. You make the word of God useless by putting your own teachings in its place. And you do many things like that."

14. Again Jesus called the crowd to him. He said, "Listen to me, everyone. Understand this.
