Traditions and Commandments

7Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,G2532G4863G4314G846G5330G2532G5100G1122G2064G575G24142they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.G2532G1492G5100G846G3101G2068G740G2839G5123G449G5495G32013(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders,G1063G5330G2532G3956G2453G3362G3538G5495G4435G2068G3756G2902G3862G42454and 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.)G2532G575G58G3362G907G2068G3756G2532G4183G243G2076G3739G3880G2902G909G4221G2532G3582G2532G5473G2532G28255And 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?"G1899G5330G2532G1122G1905G846G1302G4043G3756G4675G3101G2596G3862G4245G235G2068G740G449G54956And 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;G611G1161G2036G846G3754G2573G2268G4395G4012G5216G5273G5613G1125G3778G2992G5091G3165G5491G1161G846G2588G568G4206G575G17007in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'G1161G3155G4576G3165G1321G1319G1778G4448You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men."G1063G863G1785G2316G2902G3862G444G909G3582G2532G4221G2532G4183G243G5108G3946G41609And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!G2532G3004G846G2573G114G1785G2316G2443G5083G5216G386210For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.'G1063G3475G2036G5091G4675G3962G2532G4675G3384G2532G2551G3962G2228G3384G5053G228811But 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)—G1161G5210G3004G1437G444G2036G3962G2228G3384G2878G3603G1435G1537G3739G1437G5623G170012then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,G2532G863G846G3765G4160G3762G846G3962G2228G846G338413thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do."G208G3056G2316G208G5216G3862G3739G3860G2532G4183G5108G3946G416014And he called the people to him again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:G2532G4341G3956G3793G3004G846G191G3450G3956G2532G492015There 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."G2076G3762G1855G444G3739G1531G1519G846G1410G2840G846G235G1607G575G846G1565G2076G2840G44416(none)G1536G2192G3775G191G19117And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.G2532G3753G1525G1519G3624G575G3793G846G3101G1905G846G4012G385018And 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,G2532G3004G846G2075G5210G3779G801G2532G3539G3756G3539G3754G3956G1855G1531G1519G444G3756G1410G2840G84619since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)G3754G1531G3756G1519G846G2588G235G1519G2836G2532G1607G1519G856G2511G3956G103320And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him.G1161G3004G3754G1607G1537G444G1565G2840G44421For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,G1063G2081G1537G2588G444G1607G2556G1261G3430G4202G540822coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.G2829G4124G4189G1388G766G4190G3788G988G5243G87723All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."G3956G5023G4190G1607G2081G2532G2840G44424And 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.G2532G1564G450G565G1519G3181G5184G2532G4605G2532G1525G1519G3614G2309G3762G1097G2532G1410G3756G299025But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet.G1063G1135G3739G846G2365G2192G169G4151G191G4012G846G2064G4363G4314G846G422826Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.G1161G1135G2258G1674G4949G1085G2532G2065G846G2443G1544G1140G1537G846G236427And 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."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G5043G4412G5526G1063G2076G3756G2570G2983G5043G740G2532G906G295228But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."G1161G611G2532G3004G846G3483G2962G2532G1063G2952G5270G5132G2068G575G3813G558929And he said to her, "For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter."G2532G2036G846G1223G5126G3056G5217G1140G1831G1537G4675G236430And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.G2532G565G1519G846G3624G2147G1140G1831G2532G2364G906G1909G282531Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis.G2532G3825G1831G1537G3725G5184G2532G4605G2064G4314G2281G1056G303G3319G3725G117932And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.G2532G5342G846G2974G3424G2532G3870G846G2443G2007G5495G84633And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue.G2532G618G846G2596G2398G575G3793G906G846G1147G1519G846G3775G2532G4429G680G846G110034And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."G2532G308G1519G3772G4727G2532G3004G846G2188G3603G127235And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.G2532G2112G846G189G1272G2532G1199G846G1100G3089G2532G2980G372336And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.G2532G1291G846G2443G2036G3367G1161G3745G846G1291G846G3123G4054G278437And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."G2532G5249G1605G3004G4160G3956G2573G4160G2532G2974G191G2532G216G2980
