Mark 7
New International Version (1984) Help
7The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus andG2532G4863G4314G846G5330G2532G5100G1122G2064G575G2414
2saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were "unclean," that is, unwashed.G2532G1492G5100G846G3101G2068G740G2839G5123G449G5495G3201
3(The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.G1063G5330G2532G3956G2453G3362G3538G5495G4435G2068G3756G2902G3862G4245
4When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.)G2532G575G58G3362G907G2068G3756G2532G4183G243G2076G3739G3880G2902G909G4221G2532G3582G2532G5473G2532G2825
5So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with 'unclean' hands?"G1899G5330G2532G1122G1905G846G1302G4043G3756G4675G3101G2596G3862G4245G235G2068G740G449G5495
6He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.G611G1161G2036G846G3754G2573G2268G4395G4012G5216G5273G5613G1125G3778G2992G5091G3165G5491G1161G846G2588G568G4206G575G1700
7They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'G1161G3155G4576G3165G1321G1319G1778G444
8You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."G1063G863G1785G2316G2902G3862G444G909G3582G2532G4221G2532G4183G243G5108G3946G4160
9And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!G2532G3004G846G2573G114G1785G2316G2443G5083G5216G3862
10For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'G1063G3475G2036G5091G4675G3962G2532G4675G3384G2532G2551G3962G2228G3384G5053G2288
11But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban' (that is, a gift devoted to God),G1161G5210G3004G1437G444G2036G3962G2228G3384G2878G3603G1435G1537G3739G1437G5623G1700
12then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.G2532G863G846G3765G4160G3762G846G3962G2228G846G3384
13Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."G208G3056G2316G208G5216G3862G3739G3860G2532G4183G5108G3946G4160
14Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.G2532G4341G3956G3793G3004G846G191G3450G3956G2532G4920
15Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.'"G2076G3762G1855G444G3739G1531G1519G846G1410G2840G846G235G1607G575G846G1565G2076G2840G444
16If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.G1536G2192G3775G191G191
17After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.G2532G3753G1525G1519G3624G575G3793G846G3101G1905G846G4012G3850
18"Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'?G2532G3004G846G2075G5210G3779G801G2532G3539G3756G3539G3754G3956G1855G1531G1519G444G3756G1410G2840G846
19For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")G3754G1531G3756G1519G846G2588G235G1519G2836G2532G1607G1519G856G2511G3956G1033
20He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.'G1161G3004G3754G1607G1537G444G1565G2840G444
21For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,G1063G2081G1537G2588G444G1607G2556G1261G3430G4202G5408
22greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.G2829G4124G4189G1388G766G4190G3788G988G5243G877
23All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.'"G3956G5023G4190G1607G2081G2532G2840G444
24Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret.G2532G1564G450G565G1519G3181G5184G2532G4605G2532G1525G1519G3614G2309G3762G1097G2532G1410G3756G2990
25In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an evil spirit came and fell at his feet.G1063G1135G3739G846G2365G2192G169G4151G191G4012G846G2064G4363G4314G846G4228
26The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.G1161G1135G2258G1674G4949G1085G2532G2065G846G2443G1544G1140G1537G846G2364
27"First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G5043G4412G5526G1063G2076G3756G2570G2983G5043G740G2532G906G2952
28"Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."G1161G611G2532G3004G846G3483G2962G2532G1063G2952G5270G5132G2068G575G3813G5589
29Then he told her, "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."G2532G2036G846G1223G5126G3056G5217G1140G1831G1537G4675G2364
30She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.G2532G565G1519G846G3624G2147G1140G1831G2532G2364G906G1909G2825
31Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.G2532G3825G1831G1537G3725G5184G2532G4605G2064G4314G2281G1056G303G3319G3725G1179
32There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man.G2532G5342G846G2974G3424G2532G3870G846G2443G2007G5495G846
33After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue.G2532G618G846G2596G2398G575G3793G906G846G1147G1519G846G3775G2532G4429G680G846G1100
34He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!" (which means, "Be opened!").G2532G308G1519G3772G4727G2532G3004G846G2188G3603G1272
35At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.G2532G2112G846G189G1272G2532G1199G846G1100G3089G2532G2980G3723
36Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.G2532G1291G846G2443G2036G3367G1161G3745G846G1291G846G3123G4054G2784
37People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."G2532G5249G1605G3004G4160G3956G2573G4160G2532G2974G191G2532G216G2980
