Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem. |
2
|
Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault. |
3
|
(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don\'t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders. |
4
|
They don\'t eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.) |
5
|
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don\'t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?" |
6
|
He answered 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. |
7
|
But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.\' |
8
|
"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men�the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things." |
9
|
He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. |
10
|
For Moses said, \'Honor your father and your mother;\' and, \'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.\' |
11
|
But you say, \'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"\' |
12
|
then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother, |
13
|
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this." |
14
|
He called all the multitude to himself, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand. |
15
|
There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man. |
16
|
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!" |
17
|
When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable. |
18
|
He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Don\'t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can\'t defile him, |
19
|
because it doesn\'t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus making all foods clean?" |
20
|
He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man. |
21
|
For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts, |
22
|
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. |
23
|
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man." |
24
|
From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn\'t want anyone to know it, but he couldn\'t escape notice. |
25
|
For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. |
26
|
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. |
27
|
But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children\'s bread and throw it to the dogs." |
28
|
But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children\'s crumbs." |
29
|
He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter." |
30
|
She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out. |
31
|
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis. |
32
|
They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him. |
33
|
He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue. |
34
|
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!" |
35
|
Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly. |
36
|
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it. |
37
|
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!" |
