Jesus condemned the tradition 'Corban' because it

  • A. was a term of abuse in lsrael
  • B. meant that one should not swear
  • C. contradicted one's obligation to parents
  • D. they were people laden with iniquity

Correct Answer: C. contradicted one's obligation to parents

Explanation

The tradition of Corban was condemned by Jesus because it contradicted one's obligation to parents. The term Corban referred to a practice where someone dedicated their property or resources to God, declaring it as an offering, and thus, exempting themselves from using it for the support of their parents. Jesus criticized this tradition, emphasizing the importance of honouring one's parents and fulfilling one's responsibilities toward them. This is mentioned in Mark 7:9-13 and Matthew 15:3-9.
