Teaching concerning the things that defile from within
7:1-23
Mark 7
:1
7:1
1And the
aPharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to Him when they had come from
bJerusalem
Mark 7
:2
7:2
And 1had seen that some of His disciples ate bread with common hands, that is,
aunwashed.
Mark 7
:3
7:3
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they
1carefully wash their hands, do not eat, holding the
atradition of the
2elders;
Mark 7
:4
7:4
And when they come from the marketplace, unless they
1wash themselves, they do not eat. And there are
amany other things which they have received to hold, the
bdipping of cups and pitchers and copper
2vessels.)
Mark 7
:5
7:5
And the
1Pharisees and the scribes questioned Him, Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with common hands?
Mark 7
:6
7:6
And He said to them, Well has Isaiah prophesied concerning you
1hypocrites, as it is written,
a"This people honors Me with their
blips, but their heart stays far away from Me;
Mark 7
:7
7:7
But in vain do they
1worship Me, teaching
as teachings the commandments of
amen.''
Mark 7
:8
7:8
While leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of
1men.
Mark 7
:9
7:9
And He said to them, You nicely
1aset aside the commandment of God that you may keep your tradition.
Mark 7
:10
7:10
For Moses said,
a"Honor your father and your mother,'' and,
b"He who speaks evil of father or mother,
1let him be put to death.''
Mark 7
:11
7:11
But you say: If a man says to his father or his mother, Whatever you would have been profited by me is
now 1corban (that is, a
agift to God),
Mark 7
:12
7:12
Allow him to no longer do anything for his father or his mother.
Mark 7
:13
7:13
Thus you deprive the word of God of its authority by your tradition which you have handed down. And
amany things similar to these you do.
Mark 7
:14
7:14
And He called the crowd to
Him again and said to them, Hear Me, all
of you, and
aunderstand.
Mark 7
:15
7:15
There is nothing outside of a man which entering into him can
1defile him, but the things coming out of a man are the things which defile a man.
Mark 7
:16
7:16
1If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 7
:17
7:17
And when He entered into a
ahouse from the crowd, His disciples questioned Him concerning the
bparable.
Mark 7
:18
7:18
And He said to them, Are you also in the same manner without
aunderstanding? Do you not understand that everything that enters from outside into a man is not able to defile him,
Mark 7
:19
7:19
Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the
astomach, and goes out into the drain? (In saying this, He made all foods
bclean.)
Mark 7
:20
7:20
And He said, That which goes out of the man, that
adefiles the man.
Mark 7
:21
7:21
For from within, out of the
aheart of men, proceed evil reasonings, fornications, thefts,
bmurders,
Mark 7
:22
7:22
aAdulteries,
bcovetousness, wickedness,
1deceit, licentiousness,
2envy,
cblasphemy, arrogance, foolishness.
Mark 7
:23
7:23
All these
1wicked things proceed from within and defile the man.
11.
Casting a demon out of a Canaanite daughter
7:24-30
Mark 7
:24
7:24
1And He rose up from there and
awent away into the borders of
bTyre 2and Sidon. And entering into a
chouse, He wanted
3no one to know
about it; yet He could not escape notice.
Mark 7
:25
7:25
But a woman whose little daughter had an
aunclean spirit heard about Him, and
bimmediately she came and fell at His feet.
Mark 7
:26
7:26
Now the woman was a
aGreek,
1Syrophoenician by race. And she asked Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
Mark 7
:27
7:27
And He said to her,
aFirst let the
bchildren be satisfied, for it is not good to take the children's
cbread and throw
it to the
1little ddogs.
Mark 7
:28
7:28
And she answered and said to Him, Yes, Lord,
but even the little dogs under the
atable eat of the little children's crumbs.
Mark 7
:29
7:29
And He said to her, Because of this word,
ago. The
1demon has gone out of your daughter.
Mark 7
:30
7:30
And she went away to her house and found the little child lying on the couch and the demon gone out.

Healing a deaf and dumb man
7:31-37
Mark 7
:31
7:31
And again He
acame out of the borders of
bTyre and came through Sidon to the Sea of
1cGalilee in the midst of the borders of
2dDecapolis.
Mark 7
:32
7:32
And they brought to Him
1one who was
adeaf and who
bspoke with difficulty, and they entreated Him to
clay His hand on him.
Mark 7
:33
7:33
And He took him aside from the crowd privately and
1put His fingers into his ears, and He
aspat and touched his tongue.
Mark 7
:34
7:34
And alooking up to heaven, He
bgroaned and said to him,
1Ephphatha! that is, Be opened!
Mark 7
:35
7:35
And aimmediately his ears were opened, and the bond on his tongue was released and he spoke clearly.
Mark 7
:36
7:36
And He charged them
1not to tell
aanyone. But the more He charged them, so much the more they
bproclaimed it.
Mark 7
:37
7:37
And they were utterly
aastounded, saying, He has done all things well; He makes both the deaf hear and the dumb speak.
