マルコの福音書 7

大切なのは心
7 ある日、ユダヤ人の宗教的指導者たちが数人、イエスを調べてやろうと、わざわざエルサレムから出向いて来ました。 2 そして、イエスの弟子の中に、ユダヤの食前のしきたりを守らない者がいるのを見つけました。 3 そのしきたりというのは、ユダヤ人の中でも、特にパリサイ人たちがやかましく守っているものでした。古くからの言い伝えで、食事の前には必ず、腕からひじにかけて水を注ぐ決まりだったのです。 4 また市場から帰って来た時には、食べ物に触れる前に必ず体に水を注ぎかける決まりもありました。そのほかにも、水差し、なべ、皿を洗うことなど、何世紀ものあいだ守り続けてきた、こまごまとしたおきてやしきたりがあったのです。 5 そこで、彼らはイエスに、「どうしてあなたの弟子は、昔からの言い伝えを守らないのか。手も洗わないで食事をするとはけしからん」と言って、詰め寄りました。
6 イエスはお答えになりました。「そう言うあなたがたこそ偽善者です。預言者イザヤが言ったのは、あなたがたのことだったのです。
『彼らは口先ではわたしを敬うが、
心はわたしから遠く離れている。
7 彼らがわたしを拝んでも、むだなことだ。
神の命令の代わりに、
人間の規則を教えているのだから。』（イザヤ29・13）
なんと的を射たことばでしょう。
8 あなたがたは神のほんとうの戒めをないがしろにして、自分たちの言い伝えとすり替えているのです。 9 それを守るために、よくも神の戒めを捨て、踏みにじったものです。
10 モーセは、『あなたの父と母とを敬え』（出エジプト20・12）という戒めを神から託され、あなたがたに伝えました。また、『父や母をののしる者は死刑に処せられる』（出エジプト21・17）とも言いました。 11-12 ところがどうです。あなたがたときたら、父や母に、『すみませんが、助けることはできません。差し上げるはずのものは神にささげてしまいました』と言いさえすれば、助けを求める両親をおろそかにしてもかまわない、と教えているのです。 13 あなたがたは自分たちのつくった言い伝えを守るために、神のことばを空文化しているのです。そして、ほかにも同じようなことをたくさんしているのです。」
14 イエスは、もう一度群衆を呼び寄せて、「さあ、よく聞いて、その意味を考えなさい。 15-16 人は決して外から入る食べ物によって汚されるのではありません。むしろ、内から出て来ることばや思いによって汚されるのです」と言われました。
17 それから群衆と別れ、家に入られました。すると弟子たちが、「さっきのおことばは、どういう意味でしょうか」と尋ねました。
18 イエスはお答えになりました。「あなたがたまでわからないのですか。食べ物は人を汚さないということが、そんなに不思議なのですか。 19 いいですか。食べ物は人の心に入るわけではないでしょう。腹に入って、外へ出るだけではありませんか。」イエスは、あらゆる食べ物がきよいものであることを示し、 20 さらに続けて言われました。「人の内側から出るもの、それが問題です。 21 肉欲、盗み、殺人、姦淫、 22 貪欲、邪悪、あざむき、好色、ねたみ、悪口、高慢、あらゆる愚かさ、それらのものはみな、人の心の中からあふれ出ます。 23 この内側から出て来るものが人を汚し、神にふさわしくない者とするのです。」
広まるイエスのうわさ
24 イエスはガリラヤを去り、ツロとシドンの地方に行かれました。人目を避けて旅していましたが、いつものように、イエス来訪のニュースは、あっという間に広がってしまいました。
25 自分の小さな娘が悪霊につかれて困っていた母親が、うわさを聞いて駆けつけました。彼女はイエスの前にひれ伏すと、 26 娘から悪霊を追い出してくださいと懇願しました。実は、この女はスロ・フェニキヤ人で、ユダヤ人から見れば、軽蔑すべき「外国人」でした。
27 イエスは女に言われました。「わたしはまず、同胞のユダヤ人を助けなければなりません。子どもたちのパンを取り上げて、小犬に与えるのはよくないことです。」
28 「おっしゃるとおりでございます。でも先生、食卓の下の小犬だって、子どもたちのパンくずは食べるではありませんか。」
29 この答えにイエスは感心しました。「実に見上げたものです。さあ、安心して家にお帰りなさい。悪霊はもう、娘さんから出て行きました。」
30 女が家に戻ってみると、娘は静かに床に横たわっており、すでに悪霊は出たあとでした。
31 イエスはツロをあとにし、シドンからデカポリス地方を通って、ガリラヤ湖畔にお帰りになりました。 32 その時、人々が、耳も聞こえず、口もきけない男をイエスのところに連れて来て、「どうぞ、手を置いて治してやってください」と頼みました。
33 イエスはその男を群衆の中から連れ出し、自分の指を彼の両耳に差し入れ、それからつばをして、彼の舌にさわられました。 34 そして、天を見上げてふっと息をつき、「開け」とお命じになりました。 35 するとどうでしょう。男の耳は聞こえるようになり、舌のもつれもとけて、はっきり話せるようになったではありませんか。
36 イエスは群衆に、うわさを広めないようにと堅く口止めされましたが、そう言われれば言われるほど、人々はかえって言い広めました。 37 イエスのなさったことにあきれ驚いたからです。人々は、「ああ、なんてすばらしいことをなさるお方だろう。耳が聞こえず、口もきけない人さえお治しになった！」と言い合いました。
Mark 7
King James Version
7 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string 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 were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

English Standard Version
Traditions and Commandments
7 (A)Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes (B)who had come from Jerusalem, 2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were (C)defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly,[a] holding to (D)the tradition of (E)the elders, 4 and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash.[b] And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as (F)the washing of (G)cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.[c]) 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to (H)the tradition of (I)the elders, (J)but eat with (K)defiled hands?” 6 And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you (L)hypocrites, as it is written,
(M)“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
7 in vain do they worship me,
teaching as (N)doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”
9 And he said to them, “You have a fine way of (O)rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10 For Moses said, (P)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (Q)‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God)[d]— 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13 thus (R)making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
What Defiles a Person
14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, (S)“Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 (T)There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.”[e] 17 And when he had entered (U)the house and left the people, (V)his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them, “Then (W)are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart (X)but his stomach, and is expelled?”[f] ((Y)Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, (Z)“What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, (AA)murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, (AB)sensuality, (AC)envy, (AD)slander, (AE)pride, (AF)foolishness. 23 (AG)All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith
24 And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.[g] And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. 25 But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. 26 (AH)Now the woman was a (AI)Gentile, (AJ)a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, “Let the children be (AK)fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and (AL)throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's (AM)crumbs.” 29 And he said to her, “For this statement you may (AN)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.
Jesus Heals a Deaf Man
31 (AO)Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to (AP)the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the (AQ)Decapolis. 32 And they brought to him (AR)a man who was deaf and (AS)had a speech impediment, and they begged him to (AT)lay his hand on him. 33 And (AU)taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and (AV)after spitting touched his tongue. 34 And (AW)looking up to heaven, (AX)he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 35 (AY)And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. 36 And (AZ)Jesus[h] charged them to tell no one. But (BA)the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. 37 And they were (BB)astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
