Mark 7:10-12
New English Translation
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’[a] and, ‘Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.’[b] 11 But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you would have received from me is corban’[c] (that is, a gift for God), 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother.

- Mark 7:11 sn Corban is a Hebrew loanword (transliterated in the Greek text and in most modern English translations) referring to something that has been set aside as a gift to be given to God at some later date, but which is still in the possession of the owner (L&N 53.22). According to contemporary Jewish tradition the person who made this claim was absolved from responsibility to support or assist his parents, a clear violation of the Mosaic law to honor one’s parents (v. 10).
