Mark 7

1 And there were gathered unto Him the pharisees, and some of the scribes, from Jerusalem; 2 and when they saw some of his disciples eating with impure (that is, unwashed) hands, they found fault: 3 for the pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat till they have washed their hands thoroughly, observing the tradition of the ancients. 4 And from the market, they do not eat till they have washed. And there are many other things, which they have received to observe, the washing of cups, and pots, and brass-vessels, and seats. 5 Then the pharisees and the scribes ask Him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but eat without washing their hands? 6 But He answered them, 8 the washings of pots and cups, and many other such like things.} 11 father or mother, That which thou mightest be profited by from me Corban, (that is, a gift } 12 ye allow him to do nothing more for his father or his mother:} 14 And calling all the people to He said unto them, 15 and understand, There is nothing without a man, entring into him can defile him: but proceeding from him are those which defile a man.} 16 hath ears to hear, let him hear.} 17 And when He was come into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked Him concerning the parable. 18 And He saith unto them, 19 food.} 20 But said He, 24 And He arose and went from thence to the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and going into a house He would have had no body know it, but He could not be concealed: for a woman, 25 whose child was possessed by an evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell at his feet, 26 (now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation,) and she besought Him to cast out the demon from her daughter. 27 But Jesus said unto her, to the dogs.} 28 And she answered and said unto Him, True, Lord, yet the dogs under the table, eat of the children’s crumbs. 29 And He said unto her, 30 And she went away to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter laid on the bed. 31 And departing again out of the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, He came to the sea of Galilee thro’ the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. 32 And they brought to Him a deaf who had an impediment in his speech, and pray Him to put his hand upon him. 33 And He took him aside out of the croud, and He spit and put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue: 34 and looking up to heaven He sighed, and saith unto him, that is, 35 and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake distinctly. 36 And He charged them to tell no one, but the more He charged them, the more they published 37 and were exceedingly astonished, saying, He hath done all well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
