Commentary on Matthew 15:6
The 'Corban' practice allowed dedicating money to the temple, thereby avoiding responsibility to support parents—directly violating the fifth commandment. Jesus exposes how religious tradition can 'make void' (Greek 'akuroo'—nullify, invalidate) God's command. Reformed theology sees here the danger of works-righteousness: using religious activity to evade moral obligation. The indictment is severe: tradition that contradicts Scripture cancels divine law's authority, a form of spiritual rebellion disguised as piety.
