7Mark 7

1And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.Select Mark 7:1

2And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.Select Mark 7:2

3For the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients.Select Mark 7:3

4And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots and of brazen vessels and of beds.Select Mark 7:4

5And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?Select Mark 7:5

6But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.Select Mark 7:6

7And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.Select Mark 7:7

8For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.Select Mark 7:8

9And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.Select Mark 7:9

10For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother. And He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.Select Mark 7:10

11But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban (which is a gift) whatsoever is from me shall profit thee.Select Mark 7:11

12And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,Select Mark 7:12

13Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.Select Mark 7:13

14And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all and understand.Select Mark 7:14

15There is nothing from without a man that entering into him can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.Select Mark 7:15

16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.Select Mark 7:16

17And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.Select Mark 7:17

18And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? Understand you not that every thing from without entering into a man cannot defile him:Select Mark 7:18

19Because it entereth not into his heart but goeth into his belly and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?Select Mark 7:19

20But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.Select Mark 7:20

21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,Select Mark 7:21

22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.Select Mark 7:22

23All these evil things come from within and defile a man.Select Mark 7:23

24And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it. And he could not be hid.Select Mark 7:24

25For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.Select Mark 7:25

26For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.Select Mark 7:26

27Who said to her: suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.Select Mark 7:27

28But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.Select Mark 7:28

29And he said to her: For this saying, go thy way. The devil is gone out of thy daughter.Select Mark 7:29

30And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed and that the devil was gone out.Select Mark 7:30

31And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst the of the coasts of Decapolis.Select Mark 7:31

32And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.Select Mark 7:32

33And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears: and spitting, he touched his tongue.Select Mark 7:33

34And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.Select Mark 7:34

35And immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.Select Mark 7:35

36And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.Select Mark 7:36

37And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well. He hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.Select Mark 7:37
