7	and in vain they worship Me, teaching as teachings the precepts of men.’	in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’	They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
8	Having left the commandment of God, you⁺ hold to the tradition of men.”	You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”	You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
9	And He was saying to them, “Nobly do you⁺ set aside the commandment of God so that you⁺ might keep your⁺ tradition.	And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!	And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!
10	For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘The one speaking evil of father or mother, in death let him end.’	For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’	For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’
11	But you⁺ say that if a man might say to the father or to the mother, ‘Whatever you might be profited from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift),	But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God)—	But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—
12	no longer do you⁺ permit him to do anything for the father or for the mother,	then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,	then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.
13	making void the word of God for your⁺ tradition, which you⁺ delivered. And you⁺ do many things as such.”	thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”	Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”
