drb - Mark:7:1-23

drb@Mark:7:1 @And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.

drb@Mark:7:2 @And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

drb@Mark:7:3 @For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients:

drb@Mark:7:4 @And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.

drb@Mark:7:5 @And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?

drb@Mark:7:6 @But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

drb@Mark:7:7 @And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.

drb@Mark:7:8 @For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.

drb@Mark:7:9 @And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.

drb@Mark:7:10 @For Moses said: Honor thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.

drb@Mark:7:11 @But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift,) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.

drb@Mark:7:12 @And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,

drb@Mark:7:13 @Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.

drb@Mark:7:14 @And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.

drb@Mark:7:15 @There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.

drb@Mark:7:16 @If any man have ears to hear, let him hear

drb@Mark:7:17 @And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.

drb@Mark:7:18 @And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him:

drb@Mark:7:19 @Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?

drb@Mark:7:20 @But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.

drb@Mark:7:21 @For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

drb@Mark:7:22 @Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

drb@Mark:7:23 @All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
