Mark 7

1 Then came together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
Compare verse
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.
Compare verse
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
Compare verse
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables.
Compare verse
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
Compare verse
6 He answered and said to them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Compare verse
7 However, in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Compare verse
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things you do.
Compare verse
9 And he said to them, Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
Compare verse
10 For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever curses father or mother, let him die the death:
Compare verse
11 But you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me; he shall be free.
Compare verse
12 And you suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
Compare verse
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered: and many such like things do you.
Compare verse
14 And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Listen to me every one of you, and understand:
Compare verse
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
Compare verse
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Compare verse
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
Compare verse
18 And he said to them, Are you so without understanding also? Do you not perceive, that whatever thing from without enters into the man, it cannot defile him;
Compare verse
19 Because it enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
Compare verse
20 And he said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.
Compare verse
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Compare verse
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Compare verse
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Compare verse
24 And from there he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
Compare verse
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
Compare verse
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she sought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
Compare verse
27 But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the dogs.
Compare verse
28 And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
Compare verse
29 And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the devil is gone out of your daughter.
Compare verse
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid on the bed.
Compare verse
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the middle of the coasts of Decapolis.
Compare verse
32 And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand on him.
Compare verse
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
Compare verse
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Compare verse
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plain.
Compare verse
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;
Compare verse
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.
