Mark:7:14-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when he had called all the people unto him ,
he said unto them ,
Hearken unto me every one of you ,
and understand :
*
There 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 .
*
If any man have ears to hear ,
let him hear .
*
And when he was entered into the house from the people ,
his disciples asked him concerning the parable .
*
And he saith unto them ,
Are ye so without understanding also ?
Do ye not perceive ,
that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man ,
it cannot defile him ;
*
Because it entereth not into his heart ,
but into the belly ,
and goeth out into the draught ,
purging all meats ?
*
And he said ,
That which cometh out of the man ,
that defileth the man .
*
For from within ,
out of the heart of men ,
proceed evil thoughts ,
adulteries ,
fornications ,
murders ,
*
Thefts ,
covetousness ,
wickedness ,
deceit ,
lasciviousness ,
an evil eye ,
blasphemy ,
pride ,
foolishness :
*
All these evil things come from within ,
and defile the man .
*
And from thence he arose ,
and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon ,
and entered into an house ,
and would have no man know it :
but he could not be hid .
*
For a certain woman ,
whose young daughter had an unclean spirit ,
heard of him ,
and came and fell at his feet :
*
The woman was a Greek ,
a Syrophenician by nation ;
and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter .
*
But Jesus said unto her ,
Let the children first be filled :
for it is not meet to take the children '
s bread ,
and to cast it unto the dogs .
*
And she answered and said unto him ,
Yes ,
Lord :
yet the dogs under the table eat of the children '
s crumbs .
*
And he said unto her ,
For this saying go thy way ;
the devil is gone out of thy daughter .
*
And when she was come to her house ,
she found the devil gone out ,
and her daughter laid upon the bed .
*
And again ,
departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon ,
he came unto the sea of Galilee ,
through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis .
*
And 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 .
*
And he took him aside from the multitude ,
and put his fingers into his ears ,
and he spit ,
and touched his tongue ;
*
And looking up to heaven ,
he sighed ,
and saith unto him ,
Ephphatha ,
that is ,
Be opened .
*
And straightway his ears were opened ,
and the string of his tongue was loosed ,
and he spake plain .
*
And he charged them that they should tell no man :
but the more he charged them ,
so much the more a great deal they published it ;
*
And were beyond measure astonished ,
saying ,
He hath done all things well :
he maketh both the deaf to hear ,
and the dumb to speak .
