7:1 Now
when
the
Pharisees
gathered
to
him,
with
some
of
the
scribes
who
had
come
from
Jerusalem,
7:2 they
saw
that
some
of
his
disciples
ate
with
hands
that
were
defiled,
that
is,
unwashed.
7:3 (For
the
Pharisees
and
all
the
Jews
do
not
eat
unless
they
wash
their
hands,
holding
to
the
tradition
of
the
elders,
7:4 and
when
they
come
from
the
marketplace,
they
do
not
eat
unless
they
wash.
And
there
are
many
other
traditions
that
they
observe,
such
as
the
washing
of
cups
and
pots
and
copper
vessels
and
dining
couches.)
7:5 And
the
Pharisees
and
the
scribes
asked
him,
"Why
do
your
disciples
not
walk
according
to
the
tradition
of
the
elders,
but
eat
with
defiled
hands"
7:6 And
he
said
to
them,
"Well
did
Isaiah
prophesy
of
you
hypocrites,
as
it
is
written,
"'This
people
honors
me
with
their
lips,
but
their
heart
is
far
from
me;
7:7 in
vain
do
they
worship
me,
teaching
as
doctrines
the
commandments
of
men.'
7:8 You
leave
the
commandment
of
God
and
hold
to
the
tradition
of
men."
7:9 And
he
said
to
them,
"You
have
a
fine
way
of
rejecting
the
commandment
of
God
in
order
to
establish
your
tradition!
7:10 For
Moses
said,
'Honor
your
father
and
your
mother';
and,
'Whoever
reviles
father
or
mother
must
surely
die.'
7:11 But
you
say,
'If
a
man
tells
his
father
or
his
mother,
"Whatever
you
would
have
gained
from
me
is
Corban"'
(that
is,
given
to
God)--
7:12 then
you
no
longer
permit
him
to
do
anything
for
his
father
or
mother,
7:13 thus
making
void
the
word
of
God
by
your
tradition
that
you
have
handed
down.
And
many
such
things
you
do."
7:14 And
he
called
the
people
to
him
again
and
said
to
them,
"Hear
me,
all
of
you,
and
understand:
7:15 There
is
nothing
outside
a
person
that
by
going
into
him
can
defile
him,
but
the
things
that
come
out
of
a
person
are
what
defile
him."
7:16
7:17 And
when
he
had
entered
the
house
and
left
the
people,
his
disciples
asked
him
about
the
parable.
7:18 And
he
said
to
them,
"Then
are
you
also
without
understanding
Do
you
not
see
that
whatever
goes
into
a
person
from
outside
cannot
defile
him,
7:19 since
it
enters
not
his
heart
but
his
stomach,
and
is
expelled"
(Thus
he
declared
all
foods
clean.)
7:20 And
he
said,
"What
comes
out
of
a
person
is
what
defiles
him.
7:21 For
from
within,
out
of
the
heart
of
man,
come
evil
thoughts,
sexual
immorality,
theft,
murder,
adultery,
7:22 coveting,
wickedness,
deceit,
sensuality,
envy,
slander,
pride,
foolishness.
7:23 All
these
evil
things
come
from
within,
and
they
defile
a
person."
7:24 And
from
there
he
arose
and
went
away
to
the
region
of
Tyre
and
Sidon.
And
he
entered
a
house
and
did
not
want
anyone
to
know,
yet
he
could
not
be
hidden.
7:25 But
immediately
a
woman
whose
little
daughter
had
an
unclean
spirit
heard
of
him
and
came
and
fell
down
at
his
feet.
7:26 Now
the
woman
was
a
Gentile,
a
Syrophoenician
by
birth.
And
she
begged
him
to
cast
the
demon
out
of
her
daughter.
7:27 And
he
said
to
her,
"Let
the
children
be
fed
first,
for
it
is
not
right
to
take
the
children's
bread
and
throw
it
to
the
dogs."
7:28 But
she
answered
him,
"Yes,
Lord;
yet
even
the
dogs
under
the
table
eat
the
children's
crumbs."
7:29 And
he
said
to
her,
"For
this
statement
you
may
go
your
way;
the
demon
has
left
your
daughter."
7:30 And
she
went
home
and
found
the
child
lying
in
bed
and
the
demon
gone.
7:31 Then
he
returned
from
the
region
of
Tyre
and
went
through
Sidon
to
the
Sea
of
Galilee,
in
the
region
of
the
Decapolis.
7:32 And
they
brought
to
him
a
man
who
was
deaf
and
had
a
speech
impediment,
and
they
begged
him
to
lay
his
hand
on
him.
7:33 And
taking
him
aside
from
the
crowd
privately,
he
put
his
fingers
into
his
ears,
and
after
spitting
touched
his
tongue.
7:34 And
looking
up
to
heaven,
he
sighed
and
said
to
him,
"Ephphatha,"
that
is,
"Be
opened."
7:35 And
his
ears
were
opened,
his
tongue
was
released,
and
he
spoke
plainly.
7:36 And
Jesus
charged
them
to
tell
no
one.
But
the
more
he
charged
them,
the
more
zealously
they
proclaimed
it.
7:37 And
they
were
astonished
beyond
measure,
saying,
"He
has
done
all
things
well.
He
even
makes
the
deaf
hear
and
the
mute
speak."
