Marcos 7
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Lo puro y lo impuro(A)
7 Los fariseos y algunos de los maestros de la ley que habían llegado de Jerusalén se reunieron alrededor de Jesús, 2 y vieron a algunos de sus discípulos que comían con manos impuras, es decir, sin habérselas lavado. 3 (En efecto, los fariseos y los demás judíos no comen nada sin primero cumplir con el rito de lavarse las manos, ya que están aferrados a la tradición de los ancianos. 4 Al regresar del mercado, no comen nada antes de lavarse. Y siguen otras muchas tradiciones, tales como el rito de lavar copas, jarras y bandejas de cobre).[a] 5 Así que los fariseos y los maestros de la ley le preguntaron a Jesús:
―¿Por qué no siguen tus discípulos la tradición de los ancianos, sino que comen con manos impuras?
6 Les contestó:
―Tenía razón Isaías cuando profetizó acerca de vosotros, hipócritas, según está escrito:
»“Este pueblo me honra con los labios,
pero su corazón está lejos de mí.
7 En vano me adoran;
sus enseñanzas no son más que reglas humanas”.[b]
8 Habéis desechado los mandamientos divinos y os aferráis a las tradiciones humanas».
9 Y añadió:
―¡De qué manera dejáis a un lado los mandamientos de Dios para mantener[c] vuestras propias tradiciones! 10 Por ejemplo, Moisés dijo: “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre”,[d] y: “El que maldiga a su padre o a su madre será condenado a muerte”.[e] 11 Vosotros, en cambio, enseñáis que un hijo puede decirle a su padre o a su madre: “Cualquier ayuda que pudiera haberte dado es corbán” (es decir, ofrenda dedicada a Dios). 12 En ese caso, el tal hijo ya no está obligado a hacer nada por su padre ni por su madre. 13 Así, por la tradición que transmitís entre vosotros, anuláis la palabra de Dios. Y hacéis muchas cosas parecidas.
14 De nuevo Jesús llamó a la multitud.
―Escuchadme todos —dijo— y entended esto: 15 Nada de lo que viene de afuera puede contaminar a una persona. Más bien, lo que sale de la persona es lo que la contamina.[f]
17 Después que hubo dejado a la gente y entrado en la casa, sus discípulos le preguntaron sobre la comparación que había hecho.
18 ―¿Tampoco vosotros podéis entenderlo? —dijo—. ¿No os dais cuenta de que nada de lo que entra en una persona puede contaminarla? 19 Porque no entra en su corazón, sino en su estómago, y después va a dar a la letrina.
Con esto Jesús declaraba limpios todos los alimentos. 20 Luego añadió:
―Lo que sale de la persona es lo que la contamina. 21 Porque de dentro, del corazón humano, salen los malos pensamientos, la inmoralidad sexual, los robos, los homicidios, los adulterios, 22 la avaricia, la maldad, el engaño, el libertinaje, la envidia, la calumnia, la arrogancia y la necedad. 23 Todos estos males vienen de adentro y contaminan a la persona.
La fe de una mujer sirofenicia(B)
24 Jesús partió de allí y fue a la región de Tiro.[g] Entró en una casa y no quería que nadie lo supiera, pero no pudo pasar inadvertido. 25 De hecho, muy pronto se enteró de su llegada una mujer que tenía una niña poseída por un espíritu maligno, así que fue y se arrojó a sus pies. 26 Esta mujer era extranjera,[h] sirofenicia de nacimiento, y le rogaba que expulsara al demonio que tenía su hija.
27 ―Deja que primero se sacien los hijos —replicó Jesús—, porque no está bien quitarles el pan a los hijos y echárselo a los perros.
28 ―Sí, Señor —respondió la mujer—, pero hasta los perros comen debajo de la mesa las migajas que dejan los hijos.
29 Jesús le dijo:
―Por haberme respondido así, puedes irte tranquila; el demonio ha salido de tu hija.
30 Cuando ella llegó a su casa, encontró a la niña acostada en la cama. El demonio ya había salido de ella.
Jesús sana a un sordomudo(C)
31 Luego regresó Jesús de la región de Tiro y se dirigió por Sidón al mar de Galilea, internándose en la región de Decápolis. 32 Allí le llevaron un sordo tartamudo, y le suplicaban que pusiera la mano sobre él.
33 Jesús lo apartó de la multitud para estar a solas con él, le puso los dedos en los oídos y le tocó la lengua con saliva.[i] 34 Luego, mirando al cielo, suspiró profundamente y le dijo: «¡Efatá!» (que significa: ¡Ábrete!). 35 Con esto, se le abrieron los oídos al hombre, se le destrabó la lengua y comenzó a hablar normalmente.
36 Jesús les mandó que no se lo dijeran a nadie, pero cuanto más se lo prohibía, tanto más lo seguían propagando. 37 La gente estaba sumamente asombrada, y decía: «Todo lo hace bien. Hasta hace oír a los sordos y hablar a los mudos».

Mark 7
American Standard Version
7 And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, 2 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with [a]defiled, that is, unwashen, hands. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands [b]diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders; 4 and when they come from the marketplace, except they [c]bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, [d]washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels[e].) 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with [f]defiled hands? 6 And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,
[g]This people honoreth me with their lips,
But their heart is far from me.
7 But in vain do they worship me,
Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. 9 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, [h]Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him [i]die the death: 11 but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God; 12 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother; 13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do. 14 And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.[j] 17 And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean. 20 And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, [k]evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22 covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 23 all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre [l]and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid. 25 But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a [m]Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s [n]bread and cast it to the dogs. 28 But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
31 And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. 32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him. 33 And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue; 34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 35 And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. 36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it. 37 And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

New International Version
That Which Defiles(A)
7 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus 2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled,(B) that is, unwashed. 3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.(C) 4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.[a])(D)
5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders(E) instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”
6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
“‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.’[b](F)
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”(G)
9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[c] your own traditions!(H) 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[d](I) and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[e](J) 11 But you say(K) that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God(L) by your tradition(M) that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”
14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” [16] [f]
17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him(N) about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods(O) clean.)(P)
20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed,(Q) malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
Jesus Honors a Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith(R)
24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.[g](S) He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit(T) came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”
30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man(U)
31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre(V) and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee(W) and into the region of the Decapolis.[h](X) 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk,(Y) and they begged Jesus to place his hand on(Z) him.
33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit(AA) and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven(AB) and with a deep sigh(AC) said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.(AD)
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone.(AE) But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
