Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:11 - But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, 'Whatever help you would have received from me is corban' (that is, a gift for God),
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:12 - then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:13 - Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this."

Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:17 - Now when Jesus had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:18 - He said to them, "Are you so foolish? Don't you understand that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him?
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:19 - For it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and then goes out into the sewer." (This means all foods are clean.)
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:20 - He said, "What comes out of a person defiles him.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:21 - For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder,
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:22 - adultery, greed, evil, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, and folly.
Unchecked Copy BoxMar 7:23 - All these evils come from within and defile a person."
