7Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.G2532G4863G4314G846G5330G2532G5100G1122G2064G575G24142Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.G2532G1492G5100G846G3101G2068G740G2839G5123G449G5495G32013For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.G1063G5330G2532G3956G2453G3362G3538G5495G4435G2068G3756G2902G3862G42454When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.G2532G575G58G3362G907G2068G3756G2532G4183G243G2076G3739G3880G2902G909G4221G2532G3582G2532G5473G2532G28255Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"G1899G5330G2532G1122G1905G846G1302G4043G3756G4675G3101G2596G3862G4245G235G2068G740G449G54956He answered and 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.G611G1161G2036G846G3754G2573G2268G4395G4012G5216G5273G5613G1125G3778G2992G5091G3165G5491G1161G846G2588G568G4206G575G17007And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'G1161G3155G4576G3165G1321G1319G1778G4448"For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do."G1063G863G1785G2316G2902G3862G444G909G3582G2532G4221G2532G4183G243G5108G3946G41609He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.G2532G3004G846G2573G114G1785G2316G2443G5083G5216G386210"For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'G1063G3475G2036G5091G4675G3962G2532G4675G3384G2532G2551G3962G2228G3384G5053G228811"But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban"—' (that is, a gift to God),G1161G5210G3004G1437G444G2036G3962G2228G3384G2878G3603G1435G1537G3739G1437G5623G170012"then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,G2532G863G846G3765G4160G3762G846G3962G2228G846G338413"making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do."G208G3056G2316G208G5216G3862G3739G3860G2532G4183G5108G3946G416014When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand:G2532G4341G3956G3793G3004G846G191G3450G3956G2532G492015"There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.G2076G3762G1855G444G3739G1531G1519G846G1410G2840G846G235G1607G575G846G1565G2076G2840G44416"If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"G1536G2192G3775G191G19117When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.G2532G3753G1525G1519G3624G575G3793G846G3101G1905G846G4012G385018So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,G2532G3004G846G2075G5210G3779G801G2532G3539G3756G3539G3754G3956G1855G1531G1519G444G3756G1410G2840G84619"because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"G3754G1531G3756G1519G846G2588G235G1519G2836G2532G1607G1519G856G2511G3956G103320And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.G1161G3004G3754G1607G1537G444G1565G2840G44421"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,G1063G2081G1537G2588G444G1607G2556G1261G3430G4202G540822"thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.G2829G4124G4189G1388G766G4190G3788G988G5243G87723"All these evil things come from within and defile a man."G3956G5023G4190G1607G2081G2532G2840G44424From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.G2532G1564G450G565G1519G3181G5184G2532G4605G2532G1525G1519G3614G2309G3762G1097G2532G1410G3756G299025For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet.G1063G1135G3739G846G2365G2192G169G4151G191G4012G846G2064G4363G4314G846G422826The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.G1161G1135G2258G1674G4949G1085G2532G2065G846G2443G1544G1140G1537G846G236427But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G5043G4412G5526G1063G2076G3756G2570G2983G5043G740G2532G906G295228And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."G1161G611G2532G3004G846G3483G2962G2532G1063G2952G5270G5132G2068G575G3813G558929Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."G2532G2036G846G1223G5126G3056G5217G1140G1831G1537G4675G236430And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.G2532G565G1519G846G3624G2147G1140G1831G2532G2364G906G1909G282531Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.G2532G3825G1831G1537G3725G5184G2532G4605G2064G4314G2281G1056G303G3319G3725G117932Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.G2532G5342G846G2974G3424G2532G3870G846G2443G2007G5495G84633And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue.G2532G618G846G2596G2398G575G3793G906G846G1147G1519G846G3775G2532G4429G680G846G110034Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."G2532G308G1519G3772G4727G2532G3004G846G2188G3603G127235Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.G2532G2112G846G189G1272G2532G1199G846G1100G3089G2532G2980G372336Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it.G2532G1291G846G2443G2036G3367G1161G3745G846G1291G846G3123G4054G278437And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."G2532G5249G1605G3004G4160G3956G2573G4160G2532G2974G191G2532G216G2980
