Mark

Mark 7

1The Pharisees finding fault with his disciples for eating with unwashed hands, Christ reproveth them of hypocrisy, and of making void the commandments of God by the traditions of men: 14he teacheth that a man is defiled, not by that which entereth in, but by that which cometh out of him: 24he healeth the daughter of a Syrophenician woman; 31and a man that was deaf and had a speech impediment.

1THEN ^acame together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

a Mat. 15.1-28. Lu. 5.17; 11.53,54; 14.1; 15.2.

2And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with ¹defiled, that is to say, ^bwith unwashen, hands, ^cthey found fault.

b v.5. Mat. 15.20. c Mat. 23.23,24; 7.3-5.

3For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands ²oft, eat not, ^dholding the tradition of the elders.

d Ga. 1.14. Col. 2.8,22,23.

4And when they come from the market, except they ^ewash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of ³tables.

e Mat. 23.25. Lu. 11.39. Job 9.30,31.

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

f Mat. 9.11,14; 15.2; 23.23,24. Col. 2.8,18. Lu. 11.42.

6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you ^ghypocrites, as it is written, ^hThis people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

g Mat. 23.13-29. h Is. 29.13; 1.11-15. Mat. 15.8,9. Eze. 33.31. Col. 2.18-22. Tit. 1.14,16. 2Ti. 3.5. 1Ti. 1.6,7.

7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

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

9And he said unto them, ⁱFull well ye ⁴reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

i Is. 24.5. Je. 7.23; 44.16,17. 2Th. 2.4. Da. 7.25. Pr. 1.25.

10For Moses said, ^jHonour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

j Ex. 20.12; 21.17. Le. 19.3; 20.9. De. 5.16; 21.18; 27.16,17. Pr. 20.20; 23.22; 30.17.

11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is ^kCorban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

k Mat. 15.5; 23.18. Le. 27; 1.2.

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

13^lMaking the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

l Pr. 1.25. Ho. 8.12. Is. 24.5. Je. 44.16,17. Ga. 1.14. 1Ti. 1.6,7. Tit. 1.14.

14¶^mAnd when he had called all the people unto him , he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you , and understand:

m Mat. 15.10-20; 11.15; 16.9-11; 22.29. Ps. 94.8. ch. 4.9,23. Pr. 8.5. Is. 6.9. Ac. 8.30.

15ⁿThere 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.

n Ac. 10.14,15. Ro. 14.17. 1Co. 8.8; 10.25. 1Ti. 4.4. Tit. 1.15. Ja. 3.6.

16^oIf any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

o v.14. ch. 4.9. Mat. 11.15.

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

p Mat. 13.36; 15.15. Ac. 8.30,31.

18And he saith unto them, ^qAre ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from ^*without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

q Mat. 15.16,17; 16.9-11. He. 5.11. 1Co. 3.2. De. 29.29. Is. 28.9,10. v.14.

19^rBecause it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the ^*draught, purging all ^*meats?

r 1Co. 6.13. Col. 2.21,22.

20And he said, ^sThat which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

s Ja. 3.6. Mat. 12.34-37. Ps. 39.1.

21^tFor from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

t Ge. 6.5; 8.21. Mat. 15.19; 20.15. Pr. 6.14-19. Je. 17.9; 4.14; 6.7. Ga. 5.19-21. 1Co. 6.9,10. Ro. 13.13. Ac. 8.22. Tit. 3.2,3. Ja. 4.11.

22Thefts, ⁵covetousness, wickedness, deceit, ^*lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

24¶^uAnd from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and ^ventered into an house, and would have no man know it : but he could not be hid.

u Mat. 15.21-28. ch. 3.8. v Is. 42.2. ch. 1.45; 2.1; 3.7; 6.31-33. Jn. 5.41; 7.18.

25For ^wa certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

w Ge. 49.10. Ps. 45.12; 87.4.

26The woman was a ⁶Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and ^xshe besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

x ch. 10.14. Je. 49.11. 1Jn. 3.8. Mat. 15.22; 4.23-25; 8.16.

27But Jesus said unto her, ^yLet the children first be filled: for it is not ^*meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

y Mat. 7.6; 10.5,6. Ro. 15.8; 9.4. Ep. 2.12.

28And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: ^zyet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

z Ro. 15.8,9. Ep. 2.12-14. Mat. 5.45. Is. 49.6; 42.6,7; 45.22; 11.10; 55.6,7. Ac. 13.46. Ro. 1.16.

29And he said unto her, ^aFor this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

a Is. 57.16; 66.2. Mat. 15.28; 8.10,13. Jn. 4.50-52.

30And ^bwhen she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

b ch. 9.23. 1Co. 10.13. Ep. 3.20. 1Jn. 3.8. Ps. 12.6. 2Co. 1.20.

31¶^cAnd again, departing from the ^*coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of ^dDecapolis.

c Mat. 15.29-31. d Mat. 4.25.

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

e Mat. 9.32. Lu. 11.14. Mat. 19.15. ch. 8.22.

33And he took him ^faside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

f ch. 8.23; 5.40. Is. 42.2. Mat. 7.6. 1Ki. 17.19. 2Ki. 4.33. Ac. 9.40. Jn. 9.6.

34And ^glooking up to heaven, ^hhe sighed, and saith unto him, ⁱEphphatha, that is, Be opened.

g Mat. 14.19. ch. 6.41. Jn. 11.33,38,41; 17.1. He. 4.15. h ch. 8.12. i ch. 5.41.

35And ^jstraightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

j ch. 1.27,31,42; 2.12; 3.5; 5.30,42; 8.25; 10.52. Mat. 8.3,15. Ps. 33.9. Is. 35.6.

36And ^khe charged them that they should tell no man: ^lbut the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it ;

k ch. 1.45; 3.12; 5.43; 8.26; 10.48. Is. 42.2. Jn. 5.41; 7.18. l Mat. 9.31.

37^mAnd were beyond measure astonished, saying, He ⁿhath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

m ch. 1.27; 2.12; 4.41; 5.42; 6.51; 10.26. n Ps. 139.14. Ac. 14.11. Ge. 1.31. Is. 35.5,6. Mat. 11.5. Ex. 4.10,11.
