7:1 And there are gathered together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,
7:2 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with common hands, that is unwashed. 7:3 --For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, don't eat, holding the tradition of the elders; 7:4 and [when they come] from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they don't eat; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and bronze vessels, and beds.-- 7:5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with common hands? 7:6 And he said to them, Isaiah prophesied well of you+ hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me. 7:7 But in vain they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men. 7:8 You+ leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. 7:9 And he said to them, Full well do you+ reject the commandment of God, that your+ tradition might be established. 7:10 For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him die the death: 7:11 but you+ say, If a man will say to his father or his mother, That with which you might have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given [to God]; 7:12 you+ no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother; 7:13 making void the word of God by your+ tradition, which you+ have delivered: and many such like things you+ do. 7:14 And he called to him the multitude again, and said to them, Hear me all of you+, and understand: 7:15 there is nothing from outside the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man. 7:17 And when he had entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable. 7:18 And he says to them, Are you+ so without understanding also? Don't you+ perceive, that whatever from outside goes into the man, [it] can't defile him; 7:19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the latrine? [This he said], making all meats clean. 7:20 And he said, That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man. 7:21 For from inside, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 7:22 greed, wickednesses, deceit, sexual immorality, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 7:23 all these evil things proceed from inside, and defile the man. 7:24 And from there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid. 7:25 But right away a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 7:26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she implored him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 7:27 And he said to her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. 7:28 But she answered and says to him, Lord, even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 7:29 And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter. 7:30 And she went away to her house, and found the child laid on the bed, and the demon gone out. 7:31 And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the middle of the borders of Decapolis. 7:32 And they bring to him one who was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they urge him to lay his hand on him. 7:33 And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue; 7:34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 7:35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plain. 7:36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it. 7:37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, He has done all things well; he makes even the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak. |
