rkjnt Mark:7:1-23
rkjnt@Mark:7:1 @ Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, gathered around him.
rkjnt@Mark:7:2 @ And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.
rkjnt@Mark:7:3 @ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, thus holding to the tradition of the elders.
rkjnt@Mark:7:4 @ And when they come from the market, unless they wash, they do not eat. And there are many other traditions which they observe, such as the washing of cups, and pots, and vessels of copper.)
rkjnt@Mark:7:5 @ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but rather eat bread with unwashed hands?
rkjnt@Mark:7:6 @ He answered and said to them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honours me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
rkjnt@Mark:7:7 @ In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
rkjnt@Mark:7:8 @ Laying aside the commandment of God, you hold to the traditions of men.
rkjnt@Mark:7:9 @ And he said to them, You fully reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
rkjnt@Mark:7:10 @ For Moses said, Honour your father and your mother; and, Whoever curses father or mother, let him be put to death:
rkjnt@Mark:7:11 @ But you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, whatever I have that might benefit you is Corban, that is to say, a gift to God,
rkjnt@Mark:7:12 @ Then you do not allow him to do anything for his father or his mother;
rkjnt@Mark:7:13 @ Thus making the word of God invalid through your tradition, which you have handed down: and you do many such things.
rkjnt@Mark:7:14 @ And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Listen to me, every one of you, and understand:
rkjnt@Mark:7:15 @ There is nothing from outside of a man that can defile him by entering into him: but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile the man.
rkjnt@Mark:7:16 @ [If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.]
rkjnt@Mark:7:17 @ And when he entered into the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
rkjnt@Mark:7:18 @ And he said to them, Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive, that whatever enters into the man from without, it cannot defile him;
rkjnt@Mark:7:19 @ Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and is eliminated? Thus he declared all foods clean.
rkjnt@Mark:7:20 @ And he said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.
rkjnt@Mark:7:21 @ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
rkjnt@Mark:7:22 @ Covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lustfulness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness:
rkjnt@Mark:7:23 @ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
