Mark 7

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Then came together unto him <em>the</em> Pharisees and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

2 who upon seeing some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they condemned them.

3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash <em>their</em> hands often, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

4 And <em>when they come</em> from the market, unless they wash, they eat not. And there are many other things which they took upon themselves to hold <em>such as</em> the washing of cups and pots, brasen vessels and of tables.)

5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders but eat bread with unwashed hands?

6 He answered and said unto them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honours me with <em>their</em> lips, but their heart is far from me.

7 Howbeit in vain do they honor me, teaching <em>for</em> doctrines the commandments of men.

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men <em>as</em> the washing of pots and cups, and many other such like things ye do.

9 And he also said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and, Whosoever curses father or mother shall most definitely die.

11 But ye say, It is enough if a man shall say to his father or mother, <em>It is</em> all Corban, (that is to say, my gift to God) whatever with which thou mightest be profited by me.

12 And ye suffer him to do no more for his father or for his mother,

13 invalidating the word of God with your tradition, which ye have given; and many such like things do ye.

14 And when he had called all the people <em>unto him</em>, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one <em>of you</em> and understand;

15 there is nothing from outside the man that entering into him can defile him, but the things which come out of him, those are what defile the man.

16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.

17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

18 And he said unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not understand that anything from outside that enters into the man cannot defile him?

19 Because it enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and <em>the man</em> goes out to the privy and purges all foods.

20 For he had said that <em>it is</em> what comes out of the man that defiles the man.

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

22 the thefts, the covetousness, the wickedness, the deceit, the lasciviousness, the evil eye, the slander, the pride, the unwiseness:

23 all these evil things come out from within and defile the man.

24 And from there he arose and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entering into a house, desired that no man know <em>of it</em>; but he could not be hid.

25 For a <em>certain</em> woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him and came and fell at his feet;

26 the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and to cast <em>it</em> unto the dogs.

28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.

29 And he said unto her, For this word go; the demon has gone out of thy daughter.

30 And when she came to her house, she found that the demon had gone out, and the daughter lay upon the bed.

31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon unto the sea of Galilee through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

33 And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into the man’s ears; and spitting, he touched the man’s tongue <em>with the saliva</em>;

34 and looking up to heaven, he cried out, and said, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35 And straightway his ears were opened, and that which bound his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

36 And he charged them that they should tell no one; but the more he commanded them, so much more and more they published <em>it</em>

37 and were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things well: he makes both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.

New International Version NIV

1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus

2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.

3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.

4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles. )

5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”

6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’

8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”

9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observeyour own traditions!

10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’

11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—

12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.

13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.

15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”

17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.

18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?

19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.

21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,

22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.

23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret.

25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet.

26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.

33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue.

34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).

35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.

36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.

37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
