Traditions and Commandments

7Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,G2532G4863G4314G846G5330G2532G5100G1122G2064G575G2414 2they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.G2532G1492G5100G846G3101G2068G740G2839G5123G449G5495G3201 3(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders,G1063G5330G2532G3956G2453G3362G3538G5495G4435G2068G3756G2902G3862G4245 4and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.)G2532G575G58G3362G907G2068G3756G2532G4183G243G2076G3739G3880G2902G909G4221G2532G3582G2532G5473G2532G2825 5And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?"G1899G5330G2532G1122G1905G846G1302G4043G3756G4675G3101G2596G3862G4245G235G2068G740G449G5495 6And he said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, "'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;G611G1161G2036G846G3754G2573G2268G4395G4012G5216G5273G5613G1125G3778G2992G5091G3165G5491G1161G846G2588G568G4206G575G1700 7in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'G1161G3155G4576G3165G1321G1319G1778G444 8You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men."G1063G863G1785G2316G2902G3862G444G909G3582G2532G4221G2532G4183G243G5108G3946G4160 9And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!G2532G3004G846G2573G114G1785G2316G2443G5083G5216G3862 10For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.'G1063G3475G2036G5091G4675G3962G2532G4675G3384G2532G2551G3962G2228G3384G5053G2288 11But you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban"' (that is, given to God)—G1161G5210G3004G1437G444G2036G3962G2228G3384G2878G3603G1435G1537G3739G1437G5623G1700 12then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,G2532G863G846G3765G4160G3762G846G3962G2228G846G3384 13thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do."G208G3056G2316G208G5216G3862G3739G3860G2532G4183G5108G3946G4160 14And he called the people to him again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:G2532G4341G3956G3793G3004G846G191G3450G3956G2532G4920 15There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him."G2076G3762G1855G444G3739G1531G1519G846G1410G2840G846G235G1607G575G846G1565G2076G2840G444 16(none)G1536G2192G3775G191G191 17And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.G2532G3753G1525G1519G3624G575G3793G846G3101G1905G846G4012G3850 18And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,G2532G3004G846G2075G5210G3779G801G2532G3539G3756G3539G3754G3956G1855G1531G1519G444G3756G1410G2840G846 19since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)G3754G1531G3756G1519G846G2588G235G1519G2836G2532G1607G1519G856G2511G3956G1033 20And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him.G1161G3004G3754G1607G1537G444G1565G2840G444 21For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,G1063G2081G1537G2588G444G1607G2556G1261G3430G4202G5408 22coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.G2829G4124G4189G1388G766G4190G3788G988G5243G877 23All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."G3956G5023G4190G1607G2081G2532G2840G444 24And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden.G2532G1564G450G565G1519G3181G5184G2532G4605G2532G1525G1519G3614G2309G3762G1097G2532G1410G3756G2990 25But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet.G1063G1135G3739G846G2365G2192G169G4151G191G4012G846G2064G4363G4314G846G4228 26Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.G1161G1135G2258G1674G4949G1085G2532G2065G846G2443G1544G1140G1537G846G2364 27And he said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G5043G4412G5526G1063G2076G3756G2570G2983G5043G740G2532G906G2952 28But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."G1161G611G2532G3004G846G3483G2962G2532G1063G2952G5270G5132G2068G575G3813G5589 29And he said to her, "For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter."G2532G2036G846G1223G5126G3056G5217G1140G1831G1537G4675G2364 30And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.G2532G565G1519G846G3624G2147G1140G1831G2532G2364G906G1909G2825 31Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis.G2532G3825G1831G1537G3725G5184G2532G4605G2064G4314G2281G1056G303G3319G3725G1179 32And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.G2532G5342G846G2974G3424G2532G3870G846G2443G2007G5495G846 33And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue.G2532G618G846G2596G2398G575G3793G906G846G1147G1519G846G3775G2532G4429G680G846G1100 34And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."G2532G308G1519G3772G4727G2532G3004G846G2188G3603G1272 35And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.G2532G2112G846G189G1272G2532G1199G846G1100G3089G2532G2980G3723 36And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.G2532G1291G846G2443G2036G3367G1161G3745G846G1291G846G3123G4054G2784 37And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."G2532G5249G1605G3004G4160G3956G2573G4160G2532G2974G191G2532G216G2980
