The Tradition of the Elders
7Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him,G25322they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them.G2532G1492G5100G846G3101G2068G740G2839G5123G449G5495G3201
3(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders;G1063G5330G2532G3956G2453G3362G3538G5495G4435G2068G3756G2902G3862G4245
4and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.)G2532G575G58G3362G907G2068G3756G2532G4183G243G2076G3739G3880G2902G909G4221G2532G3582G2532G5473G2532G2825
5So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?"G1899G5330G2532G1122G1905G846G1302G4043G3756G4675G3101G2596G3862G4245G235G2068G740G449G5495
6He said to them, "Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me;G611G1161G2036G846G3754G2573G2268G4395G4012G5216G5273G5613G1125G3778G2992G5091G3165G5491G1161G846G2588G568G4206G575G1700
7in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.'G1161G3155G4576G3165G1321G1319G1778G444
8You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition."G1063G863G1785G2316G2902G3862G444G909G3582G2532G4221G2532G4183G243G5108G3946G4160
9Then he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition!G2532G3004G846G2573G114G1785G2316G2443G5083G5216G3862
10For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.'G1063G3475G2036G5091G4675G3962G2532G4675G3384G2532G2551G3962G2228G3384G5053G2288
11But you say that if anyone tells father or mother, 'Whatever support you might have had from me is Corban' (that is, an offering to God)—G1161G5210G3004G1437G444G2036G3962G2228G3384G2878G3603G1435G1537G3739G1437G5623G1700
12then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother,G2532G863G846G3765G4160G3762G846G3962G2228G846G3384
13thus making void the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this."G208G3056G2316G208G5216G3862G3739G3860G2532G4183G5108G3946G4160
14Then he called the crowd again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand:G2532G4341G3956G3793G3004G846G191G3450G3956G2532G4920
15there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile."G2076G3762G1855G444G3739G1531G1519G846G1410G2840G846G235G1607G575G846G1565G2076G2840G444
16"Let anyone with ears to hear listen."(????)G1536G2192G3775G191G191
17When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.G2532G3753G1525G1519G3624G575G3793G846G3101G1905G846G4012G3850
18He said to them, "Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile,G2532G3004G846G2075G5210G3779G801G2532G3539G3756G3539G3754G3956G1855G1531G1519G444G3756G1410G2840G846
19since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)G3754G1531G3756G1519G846G2588G235G1519G2836G2532G1607G1519G856G2511G3956G1033
20And he said, "It is what comes out of a person that defiles.G1161G3004G3754G1607G1537G444G1565G2840G444
21For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder,G1063G2081G1537G2588G444G1607G2556G1261G3430G4202G5408
22adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly.G2829G4124G4189G1388G766G4190G3788G988G5243G877
23All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."G3956G5023G4190G1607G2081G2532G2840G444 G1564G450G565G1519G3181G5184G2532G4605G2532G1525G1519G3614G2309G3762G1097G2532G1410G3756G2990
The Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith
24From there he set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice,G253225but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet.G1063G1135G3739G846G2365G2192G169G4151G191G4012G846G2064G4363G4314G846G4228
26Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.G1161G1135G2258G1674G4949G1085G2532G2065G846G2443G1544G1140G1537G846G2364
27He said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G5043G4412G5526G1063G2076G3756G2570G2983G5043G740G2532G906G2952
28But she answered him, "Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."G1161G611G2532G3004G846G3483G2962G2532G1063G2952G5270G5132G2068G575G3813G5589
29Then he said to her, "For saying that, you may go—the demon has left your daughter."G2532G2036G846G1223G5126G3056G5217G1140G1831G1537G4675G2364
30So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.G2532G565G1519G846G3624G2147G1140G1831G2532G2364G906G1909G2825 G3825G1831G1537G3725G5184G2532G4605G2064G4314G2281G1056G303G3319G3725G1179
Jesus Cures a Deaf Man
31Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis.G253232They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on him.G2532G5342G846G2974G3424G2532G3870G846G2443G2007G5495G846
33He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue.G2532G618G846G2596G2398G575G3793G906G846G1147G1519G846G3775G2532G4429G680G846G1100
34Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."G2532G308G1519G3772G4727G2532G3004G846G2188G3603G1272
35And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.G2532G2112G846G189G1272G2532G1199G846G1100G3089G2532G2980G3723
New Testament
36Then Jesus ordered them to tell no one; but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.G2532G1291G846G2443G2036G3367G1161G3745G846G1291G846G3123G4054G2784
37They were astounded beyond measure, saying, "He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."G2532G5249G1605G3004G4160G3956G2573G4160G2532G2974G191G2532G216G2980
