Mark 7

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

11 Ref but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given `to God';

12 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;

13 Ref making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

14 Ref And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:

15 Ref there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

16 `If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.'

King James Version (KJV)

11 Ref 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.

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13 Ref Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

14 Ref And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

15 Ref 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.

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

11 Ref But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

12 You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother;

13 Ref Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

14 Ref And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:

15 Ref There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.
