9 And he said unto them, Yea, altogether ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 Full will is it written of you, by the prophets whom ye have rejected.
11 They testified these things of a truth, and their blood shall be upon you.
12 Ye have kept not the ordinances of God; for Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death of the transgressor, as it is written in your law; but ye keep not the law.
13 Ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me, he is of age.

19 And he said, That which cometh out of a man, defileth the man.
