MARK ยท Chapter 7
7:1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes,
which came from Jerusalem.
7:2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled,
that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.
7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands
often, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
7:4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat
not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold,
as the washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables.
7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not your disciples
according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you
hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but
their heart is far from me.
7:7 Nevertheless in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men.
7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, all of you hold the tradition
of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things
all of you do.
7:9 And he said unto them, Full well all of you reject the commandment
of God, that all of you may keep your own tradition.
7:10 For Moses said, Honour your father and your mother; and, Whoso
curses father or mother, let him die the death:
7:11 But all of you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother,
It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited
by me; he shall be free.
7:12 And all of you suffer him no more to do ought for his father or
his mother;
7:13 Making the word of God of no effect through your tradition,
which all of you have delivered: and many such like things do all of you.
7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them,
Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can
defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile
the man.
7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
7:17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples
asked him concerning the parable.
7:18 And he says unto them, Are all of you so without understanding
also? Do all of you not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without enters
into the man, it cannot defile him;
7:19 Because it enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and
goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
7:20 And he said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the
man.
7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders,
7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil
eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
7:24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and
Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he
could not be hid.
7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit,
heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought
him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for
it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
7:28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under
the table eat of the children's crumbs.
7:29 And he said unto her, For this saying go your way;
the devil is gone out of your daughter.
7:30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out,
and her daughter laid upon the bed.
7:31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came
unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
7:32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an barrier
in his speech; and they plead to him to put his hand upon him.
7:33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers
into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
7:34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and says unto him, Ephphatha,
that is, Be opened.
7:35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue
was loosed, and he spoke plain.
7:36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more
he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
7:37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things
well: he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
