Mark 7
1¶ Then came together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,
2who 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 their hands often, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4And when they come from the market, unless they wash, they eat not. And there are many other things which they took upon themselves to hold such as the washing of cups and pots, brasen vessels and of tables.)
5Then 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?
6He answered and said unto them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7Howbeit in vain do they honor 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 also said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and, Whosoever curses father or mother shall most definitely die.
11But ye say, It is enough if a man shall say to his father or mother, It is all Corban, (that is to say, my gift to God) whatever with which thou mightest be profited by me.
12And ye suffer him to do no more for his father or for his mother,
13invalidating the word of God with your tradition, which ye have given; and many such like things do ye.
14And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you and understand;
15there 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.
16If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
17And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18And 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?
19Because it enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and the man goes out to the privy and purges all foods.
20For he had said that it is what comes out of the man that defiles the man.
21For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth the evil thoughts, the adulteries, the fornications, the murders,
22the thefts, the covetousness, the wickedness, the deceit, the lasciviousness, the evil eye, the slander, the pride, the unwiseness:
23all 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 of it; but he could not be hid.
25For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him and came and fell at his feet;
26the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.
27But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and to cast it unto the dogs.
28And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29And he said unto her, For this word go; the demon has gone out of thy daughter.
30And 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.
32And 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.
33And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into the man’s ears; and spitting, he touched the man’s tongue with the saliva;
34and looking up to heaven, he cried out, and said, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35And straightway his ears were opened, and that which bound his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
36And he charged them that they should tell no one; but the more he commanded them, so much more and more they published it
37and were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things well: he makes both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.

Mark 7
7
1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, arriving from Jerusalem, gathered together before him.
2 And when they had seen certain ones from his disciples eating bread with common hands, that is, with unwashed hands, they disparaged them.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat without repeatedly washing their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4 And when returning from the market, unless they wash, they do not eat. And there are many other things which have been handed down to them to observe: the washings of cups, and pitchers, and bronze containers, and beds.
5 And so the Pharisees and the scribes questioned him: "Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but they eat bread with common hands?"
6 But in response, he said to them: "So well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, just as it has been written: 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and precepts of men.'
8 For abandoning the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men, to the washing of pitchers and cups. And you do many other things similar to these."
9 And he said to them: "You effectively nullify the precept of God, so that you may observe your own tradition.
10 For Moses said: 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever will have cursed father or mother, let him die a death.'
11 But you say, 'If a man will have said to his father or mother: Korban, (which is a gift) whatever is from me will be to your benefit,'
12 then you do not release him to do anything for his father or mother,
13 rescinding the word of God through your tradition, which you have handed down. And you do many other similar things in this way."
14 And again, calling the crowd to him, he said to them: "Listen to me, all of you, and understand.
15 There is nothing from outside a man which, by entering into him, is able to defile him. But the things which procede from a man, these are what pollute a man.
16 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
17 And when he had entered into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.
18 And he said to them: "So, are you also without prudence? Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him?
19 For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods."
20 "But," he said "the things which go out from a man, these pollute a man.
21 For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness.
23 All these evils procede from within and pollute a man."
24 And rising up, he went from there to the area of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into a house, he intended no one to know about it, but he was not able to remain hidden.
25 For a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit, as soon as she heard about him, entered and fell prostrate at his feet.
26 For the woman was a Gentile, by birth a Syro-Phoenician. And she petitioned him, so that he would cast the demon from her daughter.
27 And he said to her: "First allow the sons to have their fill. For it is not good to take away the bread of the sons and throw it to the dogs."
28 But she responded by saying to him: "Certainly, Lord. Yet the young dogs also eat, under the table, from the crumbs of the children."
29 And he said to her, "Because of this saying, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
30 And when she had gone to her house, she found the girl lying on the bed; and the demon had gone away.
31 And again, departing from the borders of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the area of the Ten Cities.
32 And they brought someone who was deaf and mute to him. And they begged him, so that he would lay his hand upon him.
33 And taking him away from the crowd, he put his fingers into his ears; and spitting, he touched his tongue.
34 And gazing up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: "Ephphatha," which is, "Be opened."
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke correctly.
36 And he instructed them not to tell anyone. But as much as he instructed them, so much more did they preach about it.
37 And so much more did they wonder, saying: "He has done all things well. He has caused both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
