Corban - a Christian perspective
Corban means a gift devoted to God. In this passage Jesus is saying that when we just honor our father and mother as a corban, we're doing them a disservice. The intent behind the commandment isn't that we just do something, but rather that our heart is changed.

Honor in the Bible: Exodus 20:12
