The Good News According to Mark
capítulo 7
verso 1
Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
verso 2
Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
verso 3
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.
verso 4
They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)
verso 5
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”
verso 6
He answered 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.
verso 7
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
verso 8
“For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”
verso 9
He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
verso 10
For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
verso 11
But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,
verso 12
“then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
verso 13
making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
verso 14
He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
verso 15
There is nothing from outside of the man that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.
verso 16
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
verso 17
When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
verso 18
He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,
verso 19
because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
verso 20
He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
verso 21
For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
verso 22
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
verso 23
All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
verso 24
From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.
verso 25
For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
verso 26
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
verso 27
But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
verso 28
But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
verso 29
He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
verso 30
She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
verso 31
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis.
verso 32
They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.
verso 33
He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
verso 34
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
verso 35
Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
verso 36
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
verso 37
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
