Mark:7:1-23

nasb@Mark:7:1 @The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem,

nasb@Mark:7:2 @and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.

nasb@Mark:7:3 @(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders;

nasb@Mark:7:4 @and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.)

nasb@Mark:7:5 @The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?"

nasb@Mark:7:6 @And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written- ' THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

nasb@Mark:7:7 @' BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'

nasb@Mark:7:8" @Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men."

nasb@Mark:7:9 @He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.

nasb@Mark:7:10" @For Moses said, ' HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER'; and, ' HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH';

nasb@Mark:7:11 @but you say, 'If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),'

nasb@Mark:7:12 @you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;

nasb@Mark:7:13 @thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that."

nasb@Mark:7:14 @After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand-

nasb@Mark:7:15 @there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.

nasb@Mark:7:16 @[" If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."]

nasb@Mark:7:17 @When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.

nasb@Mark:7:18 @And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,

nasb@Mark:7:19 @because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)

nasb@Mark:7:20 @And He was saying, " That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.

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

nasb@Mark:7:22 @deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.

nasb@Mark:7:23" @All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."

nasb@Mark:7:24 @Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice.

nasb@Mark:7:25 @But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.

nasb@Mark:7:26 @Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

nasb@Mark:7:27 @And He was saying to her, "Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

nasb@Mark:7:28 @But she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs."

nasb@Mark:7:29 @And He said to her, "Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."

nasb@Mark:7:30 @And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.

nasb@Mark:7:31 @Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.

nasb@Mark:7:32 @They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him.

nasb@Mark:7:33 @Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;

nasb@Mark:7:34 @and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"

nasb@Mark:7:35 @And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.

nasb@Mark:7:36 @And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.

nasb@Mark:7:37 @They were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

nasb@Mark:7:8 @In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them,

nasb@Mark:7:2" @ I feel compassion for the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat.

nasb@Mark:7:3" @If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance."

nasb@Mark:7:4 @And His disciples answered Him, "Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?"

nasb@Mark:7:5 @And He was asking them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."

nasb@Mark:7:6 @And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve to them, and they served them to the people.

nasb@Mark:7:7 @They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them, He ordered these to be served as well.

nasb@Mark:7:8 @And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces.

nasb@Mark:7:9 @About four thousand were there; and He sent them away.

nasb@Mark:7:10 @And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha.

nasb@Mark:7:11 @The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him.

nasb@Mark:7:12 @Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation."

nasb@Mark:7:13 @Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.

nasb@Mark:7:14 @And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

nasb@Mark:7:15 @And He was giving orders to them, saying, " Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

nasb@Mark:7:16 @They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.

nasb@Mark:7:17 @And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?

nasb@Mark:7:18" @ HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember,

nasb@Mark:7:19 @when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."

nasb@Mark:7:20" @When I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" And they said to Him, "Seven."

nasb@Mark:7:21 @And He was saying to them, " Do you not yet understand?"

nasb@Mark:7:22 @And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Jesus and implored Him to touch him.

nasb@Mark:7:23 @Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?"
