Mark 7

1
Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,
2
they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.
3
(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders;
4
and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.)
5
And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?"
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
in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'
8
You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men."
9
And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God, in order to keep your tradition!
10
For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die';
11
but you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is Corban' (that is, given to God) --
12
then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,
13
thus making void the word of God through your tradition which you hand on. And many such things you do."
14
And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:
15
there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."
16
17
And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18
And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,
19
since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
20
And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.
21
For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
22
coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
23
All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man."
24
And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid.
25
But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet.
26
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoeni'cian by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27
And he said to her, "Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
28
But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29
And he said to her, "For this saying you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter."
30
And she went home, and found the child lying in bed, and the demon gone.
31
Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of the Decap'olis.
32
And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.
33
And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;
34
and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, "Be opened."
35
And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.
36
And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.
37
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."


Mark 8

1
In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them,
2
"I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;
3
and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way."
4
And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?"
5
And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven."
6
And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.
7
And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.
8
And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
9
And there were about four thousand people.
10
And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha.
11
The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.
12
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."
13
And he left them, and getting into the boat again he departed to the other side.
14
Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.
15
And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."
16
And they discussed it with one another, saying, "We have no bread."
17
And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
18
Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?
19
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve."
20
"And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."
21
And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?"
22
And they came to Beth-sa'ida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him.
23
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"
24
And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking."
25
Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
26
And he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."
27
And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"
28
And they told him, "John the Baptist; and others say, Eli'jah; and others one of the prophets."
29
And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."
30
And he charged them to tell no one about him.
31
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32
And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33
But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."
34
And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
35
For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.
36
For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37
For what can a man give in return for his life?
38
For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
