  Mark Chapter 7. The Pharisees and some of the
• 0:03
  scribes gathered around him when they had come from Jerusalem and
• 0:06
  had seen that some of his disciples were eating their
• 0:09
  bread with impure hands. That is unwashed, for the
• 0:12
  Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully
• 0:15
  wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders.
• 0:20
  And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat
• 0:22
  unless they cleanse themselves. And there are many other things
• 0:25
  which they have received in order to observe, such as the
• 0:27
  washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.
• 0:31
  The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, Why do your disciples
• 0:34
  not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
• 0:37
  their bread within pure hands? And he said to them Rightly did
• 0:41
  Isaiah prophecy of you hypocrites as it is written.
• 0:44
  This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far
• 0:47
  away from me. But in vain do they worship me.
• 0:50
  Teaching his doctrines, the precepts of men, neglecting the
• 0:54
  commandment of God. You hold to the tradition of
• 0:57
  men. He was also saying to them, you
• 1:00
  are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to
• 1:04
  keep your tradition. For Moses said honor your father
• 1:08
  and your mother, and he who speaks evil of father or mother
• 1:11
  is to be put to death. But you say, if a man says to
• 1:14
  his father or his mother, whatever I have, that would help
• 1:17
  you, is Corban, that is to say, given to God, you no longer
• 1:21
  permit him to do anything for his father or his mother, thus
• 1:25
  invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have
• 1:28
  handed down. And you do many things such as
• 1:30
  that. After he called the crowd to him
• 1:33
  again, he began saying to them, Listen to me, all of you, and
• 1:36
  understand there is nothing outside the man which can defile
• 1:40
  him if it goes into him. But the things which proceed out
• 1:44
  of the man are what defile the man.
• 1:47
  If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
• 1:50
  When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples
• 1:53
  questioned him about the parable, and he said to them,
• 1:56
  Are you so lacking in understanding?
• 1:58
  Also, do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from
• 2:02
  outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his
• 2:05
  heart but into his stomach, and is eliminated?
• 2:08
  Thus he declared all foods clean, and he was saying that
• 2:12
  which proceeds out of the man. That is what defiles the man,
• 2:16
  for from within, out of the heart of men, precede the evil
• 2:19
  thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of
• 2:23
  coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy,
• 2:27
  slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed
• 2:31
  from within and defile the man. Jesus got up and went away from
• 2:35
  there to the region of Tyre. When he had entered a house, he
• 2:38
  wanted no one to know of it, yet he could not escape notice.
• 2:42
  But after hearing of him, a woman whose little daughter had
• 2:44
  an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at his feet.
• 2:48
  Now the woman was a Gentile of the Sarah Phoenician race, and
• 2:52
  she kept asking him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
• 2:55
  And he was saying to her, Let the children be satisfied first,
• 2:59
  for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to
• 3:01
  the dogs. But she answered and said to
• 3:04
  him, Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the
• 3:07
  children's crumbs. And he said to her, because of
• 3:10
  this answer, go, the demon has gone out of your daughter.
• 3:14
  And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the
• 3:16
  bed. The demon having left again, he
• 3:20
  went out from the region of Tyre and came through Sidon to the
• 3:22
  Sea of Galilee within the region of Decapolis.
• 3:26
  They brought to him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty,
• 3:29
  and they implored him to lay his hand on him.
• 3:32
  Jesus took him aside from the crowd by himself, and put his
• 3:35
  fingers in his into his ears. And after spitting, he touched
• 3:38
  his tongue with the saliva, and looking up to heaven, with a
• 3:42
  deep sigh he said to him, EF fatha, that is be opened, And
• 3:48
  his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was
• 3:51
  removed. And he began speaking plainly.
• 3:54
  And he gave them orders not to tell anyone.
• 3:56
  But the more he ordered them, the more widely they continued
• 4:00
  to proclaim it. They were utterly astonished,
• 4:03
  saying He has done all things well.
• 4:06
  He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.
