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.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

11 Ref and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), `is' whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,

12 and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,

13 Ref setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'

14 Ref And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

15 Ref there is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.

16 If any hath ears to hear -- let him hear.'
