Mark 7

1 And there gather together to Him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, 2 and saw that some of His disciples ate bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands. 3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands thoroughly, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders; 4 and, from the marketplace, unless they immerse themselves, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they received to hold; , immersion of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels. 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask Him, “Why do not Thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?" 6 And He said to them, 7 doctrines the precepts of men.} 9 And He said to them, 11 ,’} 14 And, again calling the multitude, He said to them, 17 And, when He entered into the house from the multitude, His disciples asked of Him the parable. 18 And He saith to them, 19 , making all foods clean.} 20 And He said, 24 And, rising up, He went thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and, entering into a house, He wished no one to know it. And He could not be hid. 25 But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of Him, coming, fell down at His feet. 26 And the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she kept asking Him to cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27 And He said to her, 28 But she answered, and says to Him, “Yes, Lord; even the little dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs." 29 And He said to her, 30 And, going away into her own house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out. 31 And again, going forth out of the borders of Tyre, He came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. 32 And they bring to Him deaf, and speaking with difficulty; and they beseech Him to lay His hand upon him. 33 And, taking him aside from the multitude privately, He put His fingers into his ears; and, spitting, He touched his tongue; 34 and looking up to Heaven, He sighed, and saith to him, that is, 35 And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking properly. 36 And He charged them that they should tell no one; but the more He charged them, the more a great deal did they publish it. 37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He hath done all things well: He maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."
