Mark 7

The Darby Translation DBY

1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,

2 and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,

3 (for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;

4 and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),

5 then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?

6 But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.

7 But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.

8 [For], leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men [to keep] -- washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.

9 And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves [to keep].

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.

11 But *ye* say, If a man say to his father or his mother, [It is] corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by ...

12 And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;

13 making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.

14 And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:

15 There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.

16 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.

17 And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

18 And he says to them, Are *ye* also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,

19 because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?

20 And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;

23 all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.

24 And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know [it], and he could not be hid.

25 But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet

26 (and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

27 But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

28 But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

29 And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

30 And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.

31 And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

32 And they bring to him a deaf [man] who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.

33 And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;

34 and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.

36 And he charged them that they should speak to no one [of it]. But so much the more *he* charged them, so much the more abundantly *they* proclaimed it;

37 and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 The Pharisees and some scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.

2 They saw that some of his disciples were unclean because they ate without washing their hands.

3 (The Pharisees, like all other Jewish people, don't eat unless they have properly washed their hands. They follow the traditions of their ancestors.

4 When they come from the marketplace, they don't eat unless they have washed first. They have been taught to follow many other rules. For example, they must also wash their cups, jars, brass pots, and dinner tables. )

5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples follow the traditions taught by our ancestors? They are unclean because they don't wash their hands before they eat!"

6 Jesus told them, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites in Scripture: 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

7 Their worship of me is pointless, because their teachings are rules made by humans.'

8 "You abandon the commandments of God to follow human traditions."

9 He added, "You have no trouble rejecting the commandments of God in order to keep your own traditions!

10 For example, Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother' and 'Whoever curses father or mother must be put to death.'

11 But you say, 'If a person tells his father or mother that whatever he might have used to help them is corban (that is, an offering to God),

12 he no longer has to do anything for his father or mother.'

13 Because of your traditions you have destroyed the authority of God's word. And you do many other things like that."

14 Then he called the crowd again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and try to understand!

15 Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. It's what comes out of a person that makes him unclean.

16 Let the person who has ears listen!"

17 When he had left the people and gone home, his disciples asked him about this illustration.

18 Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand? Don't you know that whatever goes into a person from the outside can't make him unclean?

19 It doesn't go into his thoughts but into his stomach and then into a toilet." (By saying this, Jesus declared all foods acceptable.)

20 He continued, "It's what comes out of a person that makes him unclean.

21 Evil thoughts, sexual sins, stealing, murder,

22 adultery, greed, wickedness, cheating, shameless lust, envy, cursing, arrogance, and foolishness come from within a person.

23 All these evils come from within and make a person unclean."

24 Jesus left that place and went to the territory of Tyre. He didn't want anyone to know that he was staying in a house there. However, it couldn't be kept a secret.

25 A woman whose little daughter had an evil spirit heard about Jesus. She went to him and bowed down.

26 The woman happened to be Greek, born in Phoenicia in Syria. She asked him to force the demon out of her daughter.

27 Jesus said to her, "First, let the children eat all they want. It's not right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs."

28 She answered him, "Lord, even the dogs under the table eat some of the children's scraps."

29 Jesus said to her, "Because you have said this, go! The demon has left your daughter."

30 The woman went home and found the little child lying on her bed, and the demon was gone.

31 Jesus then left the neighborhood of Tyre. He went through Sidon and the territory of the Ten Cities to the Sea of Galilee.

32 Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and who also had a speech defect. They begged Jesus to lay his hand on him.

33 Jesus took him away from the crowd to be alone with him. He put his fingers into the man's ears, and after spitting, he touched the man's tongue.

34 Then he looked up to heaven, sighed, and said to the man, "Ephphatha!" which means, "Be opened!"

35 At once the man could hear and talk normally.

36 Jesus ordered the people not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them, the more they spread the news.

37 Jesus completely amazed the people. They said, "He has done everything well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute talk."
