Defilement Comes from Within

7Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.G2532G4863G4314G846G5330G2532G5100G1122G2064G575G2414 2Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.G2532G1492G5100G846G3101G2068G740G2839G5123G449G5495G3201 3For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.G1063G5330G2532G3956G2453G3362G3538G5495G4435G2068G3756G2902G3862G4245 4When 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.G2532G575G58G3362G907G2068G3756G2532G4183G243G2076G3739G3880G2902G909G4221G2532G3582G2532G5473G2532G2825 5Then 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?"G1899G5330G2532G1122G1905G846G1302G4043G3756G4675G3101G2596G3862G4245G235G2068G740G449G5495 6He 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.G611G1161G2036G846G3754G2573G2268G4395G4012G5216G5273G5613G1125G3778G2992G5091G3165G5491G1161G846G2588G568G4206G575G1700 7And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'G1161G3155G4576G3165G1321G1319G1778G444 8"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."G1063G863G1785G2316G2902G3862G444G909G3582G2532G4221G2532G4183G243G5108G3946G4160 9He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.G2532G3004G846G2573G114G1785G2316G2443G5083G5216G3862 10"For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'G1063G3475G2036G5091G4675G3962G2532G4675G3384G2532G2551G3962G2228G3384G5053G2288 11"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),G1161G5210G3004G1437G444G2036G3962G2228G3384G2878G3603G1435G1537G3739G1437G5623G1700 12"then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,G2532G863G846G3765G4160G3762G846G3962G2228G846G3384 13"making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do."G208G3056G2316G208G5216G3862G3739G3860G2532G4183G5108G3946G4160 14When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear Me, everyone, and understand:G2532G4341G3956G3793G3004G846G191G3450G3956G2532G4920 15"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.G2076G3762G1855G444G3739G1531G1519G846G1410G2840G846G235G1607G575G846G1565G2076G2840G444 16"If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"G1536G2192G3775G191G191 17When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.G2532G3753G1525G1519G3624G575G3793G846G3101G1905G846G4012G3850 18So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,G2532G3004G846G2075G5210G3779G801G2532G3539G3756G3539G3754G3956G1855G1531G1519G444G3756G1410G2840G846 19"because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"G3754G1531G3756G1519G846G2588G235G1519G2836G2532G1607G1519G856G2511G3956G1033 20And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.G1161G3004G3754G1607G1537G444G1565G2840G444 21"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,G1063G2081G1537G2588G444G1607G2556G1261G3430G4202G5408 22"thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.G2829G4124G4189G1388G766G4190G3788G988G5243G877 23"All these evil things come from within and defile a man."G3956G5023G4190G1607G2081G2532G2840G444

A Gentile Shows Her Faith

24From 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.G2532G1564G450G565G1519G3181G5184G2532G4605G2532G1525G1519G3614G2309G3762G1097G2532G1410G3756G2990 25For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet.G1063G1135G3739G846G2365G2192G169G4151G191G4012G846G2064G4363G4314G846G4228 26The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.G1161G1135G2258G1674G4949G1085G2532G2065G846G2443G1544G1140G1537G846G2364 27But 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."G1161G2424G2036G846G863G5043G4412G5526G1063G2076G3756G2570G2983G5043G740G2532G906G2952 28And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."G1161G611G2532G3004G846G3483G2962G2532G1063G2952G5270G5132G2068G575G3813G5589 29Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."G2532G2036G846G1223G5126G3056G5217G1140G1831G1537G4675G2364 30And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.G2532G565G1519G846G3624G2147G1140G1831G2532G2364G906G1909G2825

Jesus Heals a Deaf-Mute

31Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.G2532G3825G1831G1537G3725G5184G2532G4605G2064G4314G2281G1056G303G3319G3725G1179 32Then 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.G2532G5342G846G2974G3424G2532G3870G846G2443G2007G5495G846 33And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in 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 35Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.G2532G2112G846G189G1272G2532G1199G846G1100G3089G2532G2980G3723 36Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it.G2532G1291G846G2443G2036G3367G1161G3745G846G1291G846G3123G4054G2784 37And 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
