From bd315b39cb84719e33b3732b9b0c9bee90a9fbc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Susan Quigley Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2019 21:04:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update 'mrk/07/12.md' --- mrk/07/12.md | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/mrk/07/12.md b/mrk/07/12.md index 3fc91d5c40..a644cb939c 100644 --- a/mrk/07/12.md +++ b/mrk/07/12.md @@ -1,8 +1,9 @@ -# General Information: +# then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother + +Possible meanings are that by telling people that they could say that their possessions are Corban, 1) the Pharisees did not allow people to help their parents, or 2) the Pharisees allowed people to refuse to help their parents. Alternate translation: "then you permit him to do nothing for his father or his mother" -In verses 11 and 12, Jesus shows how the Pharisees teach people that they do not have to obey God's commandment to honor their parents. In verse 11 Jesus tells what the Pharisees allow people to say about their possessions, and in verse 12 he tells how that shows the Pharisees' attitude toward people helping their parents. This information can be reordered, as in the UDB, to first tell about the Pharisees' attitude toward people helping their parents and then tell how that attitude is shown in what the Pharisees allow people to say about their possessions. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-versebridge]]) # then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother -By doing this, the Pharisees are allowing people not to provide for their parents, if they promise to give to God what they would have given to them. You can order these words before the words that begin with "Whatever help" in verse 11: "You no longer permit a person to do anything for his father or his mother after he says, 'Whatever help you would have received from me is Corban.' (Corban means 'Given to God.')" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]]) +Here "do anything" refers to helping his parents by giving to them. This can be translated as "then you no longer permit him to give anything to his father or his mother" or "then you permit him to give nothing to his father or his mother"
