Lo que contamina al hombre

(Mr. 7.1-23)

15 Entonces se acercaron a Jesús ciertos escribas y fariseos de Jerusalén, diciendo: ¿Por qué tus discípulos quebrantan la tradición de los ancianos? Porque no se lavan las manos cuando comen pan. Respondiendo él, les dijo: ¿Por qué también vosotros quebrantáis el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición? Porque Dios mandó diciendo: Honra a tu padre y a tu madre;(A) y: El que maldiga al padre o a la madre, muera irremisiblemente.(B) Pero vosotros decís: Cualquiera que diga a su padre o a su madre: Es mi ofrenda a Dios todo aquello con que pudiera ayudarte, ya no ha de honrar a su padre o a su madre. Así habéis invalidado el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición. Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, cuando dijo:

Este pueblo de labios me honra;

Mas su corazón está lejos de mí.

Pues en vano me honran,

Enseñando como doctrinas, mandamientos de hombres.(C)

10 Y llamando a sí a la multitud, les dijo: Oíd, y entended: 11 No lo que entra en la boca contamina al hombre; mas lo que sale de la boca, esto contamina al hombre. 12 Entonces acercándose sus discípulos, le dijeron: ¿Sabes que los fariseos se ofendieron cuando oyeron esta palabra? 13 Pero respondiendo él, dijo: Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial, será desarraigada. 14 Dejadlos; son ciegos guías de ciegos; y si el ciego guiare al ciego, ambos caerán en el hoyo.(D) 15 Respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Explícanos esta parábola. 16 Jesús dijo: ¿También vosotros sois aún sin entendimiento? 17 ¿No entendéis que todo lo que entra en la boca va al vientre, y es echado en la letrina? 18 Pero lo que sale de la boca, del corazón sale;(E) y esto contamina al hombre. 19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, los homicidios, los adulterios, las fornicaciones, los hurtos, los falsos testimonios, las blasfemias. 20 Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre; pero el comer con las manos sin lavar no contamina al hombre.

La fe de la mujer cananea

(Mr. 7.24-30)

21 Saliendo Jesús de allí, se fue a la región de Tiro y de Sidón. 22 Y he aquí una mujer cananea que había salido de aquella región clamaba, diciéndole: ¡Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí! Mi hija es gravemente atormentada por un demonio. 23 Pero Jesús no le respondió palabra. Entonces acercándose sus discípulos, le rogaron, diciendo: Despídela, pues da voces tras nosotros. 24 Él respondiendo, dijo: No soy enviado sino a las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel. 25 Entonces ella vino y se postró ante él, diciendo: ¡Señor, socórreme! 26 Respondiendo él, dijo: No está bien tomar el pan de los hijos, y echarlo a los perrillos. 27 Y ella dijo: Sí, Señor; pero aun los perrillos comen de las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus amos. 28 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, dijo: Oh mujer, grande es tu fe; hágase contigo como quieres. Y su hija fue sanada desde aquella hora.

Jesús sana a muchos

29 Pasó Jesús de allí y vino junto al mar de Galilea; y subiendo al monte, se sentó allí. 30 Y se le acercó mucha gente que traía consigo a cojos, ciegos, mudos, mancos, y otros muchos enfermos; y los pusieron a los pies de Jesús, y los sanó; 31 de manera que la multitud se maravillaba, viendo a los mudos hablar, a los mancos sanados, a los cojos andar, y a los ciegos ver; y glorificaban al Dios de Israel.

Alimentación de los cuatro mil

(Mr. 8.1-10)

32 Y Jesús, llamando a sus discípulos, dijo: Tengo compasión de la gente, porque ya hace tres días que están conmigo, y no tienen qué comer; y enviarlos en ayunas no quiero, no sea que desmayen en el camino. 33 Entonces sus discípulos le dijeron: ¿De dónde tenemos nosotros tantos panes en el desierto, para saciar a una multitud tan grande? 34 Jesús les dijo: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete, y unos pocos pececillos. 35 Y mandó a la multitud que se recostase en tierra. 36 Y tomando los siete panes y los peces, dio gracias, los partió y dio a sus discípulos, y los discípulos a la multitud. 37 Y comieron todos, y se saciaron; y recogieron lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete canastas llenas. 38 Y eran los que habían comido, cuatro mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños. 39 Entonces, despedida la gente, entró en la barca, y vino a la región de Magdala.

Tradition and Commandment

15 (A)Then some Pharisees and scribes *came to Jesus (B)from Jerusalem and said, “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they (C)do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves also break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, ‘(D)Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘(E)The one who speaks evil of father or mother is to [a]be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been [b]given to God,” he is not to [c]honor his father or mother.’ And by this you have invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you, by saying:

(F)This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
And in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as (G)doctrines the commandments of men.’”

10 After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand! 11 (H)It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.”

12 Then the disciples came and *said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were [d]offended when they heard this statement?” 13 But He answered and said, (I)Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted. 14 Leave them alone; (J)they are blind guides [e]of blind people. And (K)if a person who is blind guides another who is blind, both will fall into a pit.”

The Heart of Man

15 Peter [f]said to Him, “(L)Explain the parable to us.” 16 [g]Jesus said, “Are you also still lacking in understanding? 17 Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is [h]eliminated? 18 But (M)the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person. 19 (N)For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, and [i]slanderous statements. 20 These are the things that defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person.”

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

21 (O)Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the region of (P)Tyre and (Q)Sidon. 22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, (R)Son of David; my daughter is severely (S)demon-possessed.” 23 But He did not answer her with even a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting [j]at us!” 24 But He answered and said, “I was sent only to (T)the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and (U)began [k]to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26 Yet He answered and said, “It is not [l]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 And she said, “Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, (V)your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed [m]at once.

Healing Crowds

29 (W)Departing from there, Jesus went along (X)the Sea of Galilee, and after going up on the mountain, He was sitting there. 30 And [n]large crowds came to Him bringing with them those who were limping, had impaired limbs, were blind, or were unable to speak, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and (Y)He healed them. 31 So the crowd was astonished as they saw those who were unable to speak talking, those with impaired limbs [o]restored, those who were limping walking around, and those who were blind seeing; and they (Z)glorified the God of Israel.

Four Thousand Men Fed

32 (AA)Now Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, (AB)I feel compassion for the [p]people, because they [q]have remained with Me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.” 33 The disciples *said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?” 34 And Jesus *said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And He directed the [r]people to [s]sit down on the ground; 36 and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and after (AC)giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large (AD)baskets full. 38 And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39 And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into (AE)the boat and came to the region of (AF)Magadan.
