馬可福音 7
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)

傳統與誡命

7 有些法利賽人和一些從耶路撒冷來的經文士聚集到耶穌那裡。 2 他們看見耶穌的一些門徒用不潔淨的手，就是沒有洗過的手吃飯[a][b]。 3 原來，法利賽人和所有的猶太人都拘守古人的傳統：如果不按規矩[c]洗手就不吃飯； 4 他們從街市上回來，如果不行洗淨禮，也就不吃飯；他們還有很多其他的傳統要拘守，例如洗杯子、瓶子、銅器，甚至床[d]等。 5 於是，法利賽人和經文士就問耶穌：「你的門徒們為什麼不照著古人的傳統行事，用不潔淨的[e]手吃飯[f]呢？」

6 耶穌對他們說：「以賽亞指著你們這些偽善的人所說的預言是對的，正如經上所記：

『這子民用嘴唇尊重我，
他們的心卻遠離我。
7 他們敬拜我也是徒然的，
因為他們把人的規條當做教義教導人[g]。』[h]

8 你們離棄了神的命令，而拘守人的傳統[i]。」 9 耶穌又對他們說：「你們為了要守住你們的傳統，竟然棄絕了神的命令！ 10 摩西吩咐過

『你要孝敬你的父母』[j]，又說
『咒罵父親或母親的人，必須處死。』[k]

11 你們卻說『如果一個人對父親或母親說：我本該給你的，已經做了「各爾板」——這意思是「聖殿奉獻」， 12 就准許這個人可以不再為父母做什麼了。』 13 這樣，你們就藉著所繼承的傳統，廢棄了神的話語[l]。你們還做很多類似這樣的事。」 14 耶穌又[m]召來眾人，對他們說：「你們每個人都當聽我說，也當領悟： 15 從人外面進到他裡面的，沒有一樣能使人[n]汙穢；相反，從人裡面出來的，才會使人汙穢。 16 凡是有耳可聽的，就應當聽！[o]」

17 耶穌離開人群，一進了房子，他的門徒們就問他這比喻的意思。 18 耶穌說：「你們也是這樣無知嗎？你們難道不明白一切從外面進到人裡面的，不能使人汙穢嗎？ 19 因為這些東西不是進到人的心裡，而是進入肚子，然後排到廁所裡去。」耶穌這樣就使一切食物都潔淨。 20 他接著說：「從人裡面出來的，那才使人汙穢。 21 因為從裡面，就是從人心裡發出種種惡念：淫亂、偷竊、殺人、 22 通姦、貪心、惡意、欺詐、好色、嫉妒、毀謗、驕傲、愚妄， 23 這一切邪惡都是從人裡面出來的，而且使人汙穢。」

外邦婦人的信心

24 耶穌起身離開那地方到提爾和西頓[p]地區。他進了一戶人家，本來不願意任何人知道，卻還是不能避開眾人。 25 有一個婦人，她的女兒有汙靈附著。這婦人一聽說耶穌的事，就趕來俯伏在他的腳前。 26 這婦人是希臘人，出生在敘利亞的腓尼基。她請求耶穌把鬼魔從她女兒身上趕出去。 27 耶穌對她說：「應該先讓兒女吃飽，因為拿兒女的餅扔給小狗，是不合宜的。」

28 婦人回答說：「主啊[q]！連桌子底下的小狗，也吃得到孩子們的碎渣！」

29 耶穌對她說：「憑你這句話，你可以回去了。鬼魔已經離開了你的女兒。」 30 婦人回到家，發現孩子[r]躺在床上，鬼魔已經離去了。

耶穌做事都美好

31 耶穌離開提爾地區，經過西頓，從德卡波利斯境內又來到加利利湖邊[s]。 32 有人把一個又聾又啞的人帶到耶穌面前，懇求耶穌按手在他身上。 33 耶穌把他從人群中單獨帶到一邊去，用指頭伸進他的耳朵，吐唾沫來抹他的舌頭， 34 然後望天噓了一口氣，對他說：「以法達[t]！」——這意思是「開了吧」。 35 他的耳朵立刻開了，舌結也解了，說話也清楚了。 36 耶穌吩咐他們不要告訴任何人。但是，他越是吩咐，他們越是大大傳揚。

37 人們極其驚訝，說：「他所做的一切都好！他甚至使聾子聽見，使啞巴說話。」

Mark 7
The Voice

7 Then the Pharisees returned to talk with Jesus, and with them came some of the scribes and scholars from Jerusalem.

Scribes and Scholars (seeing the disciples eating): 2 Your disciples are eating bread with defiled, unwashed hands.

3 Now you need to know that the Pharisees, and all Jews for that matter, held the tradition of their ancestors that hands must be washed before eating to avoid being ritually unclean. 4 Likewise, they washed when they returned from the market and followed similar purity teachings as well, from the washing of their food to the washing of their bowls, cups, and kettles.

Scribes and Pharisees: 5 Why don’t Your disciples follow the traditions passed down to us? Why do they eat their bread with defiled hands?

Jesus: 6 Isaiah prophesied wisely about your religious pretensions when he wrote,

    These people honor Me with words off their lips;
        meanwhile their hearts are far from Me.
7     Their worship is empty, void of true devotion.
        They teach a human commandment, memorized and practiced by rote.[a]

8 When you cling blindly to your own traditions [such as washing utensils and cups],[b] you completely miss God’s command. 9 Then, indeed, you have perfected setting aside God’s commands for the sake of your tradition. 10 Moses gave you God’s commandment: “Honor your father and your mother.”[c] And also, “If you curse your father or your mother, you will be put to death.”[d] 11 But you say to your aged parents, “I’ve decided that the support you were expecting from me will now be the holy offering set aside for God.” 12 After that he is not allowed to do anything for his parents. 13 Do you think God wants you to honor your traditions that you have passed down? This is only one of many places where you are blind. 14 (to the crowd that had gathered) Listen, all of you, to this teaching. I want you to understand. 15 There is nothing outside someone that can corrupt him. Only the things that come out of a person can corrupt him. [16 All who have ears to hear, let them listen.][e]

17 When they had come in from the road, His disciples asked Him what He meant by this teaching.

Jesus: 18 Do you mean you don’t understand this one either? Whatever goes into people from outside can’t defile them 19 because it doesn’t go into their hearts. Outside things go through their guts and back out, thus making all foods pure.[f] 20 No, it’s what comes from within that corrupts. 21-22 It’s what grows out of the hearts of people that leads to corruption: evil thoughts, immoral sex, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wicked acts, treachery, sensuality, jealousy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All of these come from within, and these are the sins that truly corrupt a person.

Although Mark specifically states that Jesus is overriding the Old Testament dietary laws and declaring all foods pure, it will be a long time before the disciples are willing to act on that message. One of the biggest controversies in the early church will be the question of dietary restrictions and how the Old Testament laws ought to be observed by Jewish and non-Jewish Christian believers. However, Jesus makes it clear in this passage that His main concern has nothing to do with what people eat. Instead, He is concerned about the hearts of His followers.

24 From there Jesus and His followers traveled to the region of Tyre [and Sidon][g] on the Mediterranean coast. He hoped to slip unnoticed into a house, but people discovered His presence. 25 Shortly after He arrived, a woman whose daughter was filled with an unclean spirit heard that He was there, so she came directly to Him and prostrated herself at His feet.

26 The woman was not a Jew, but a Syrophoenician (a Greek) by birth. All the same, she came to Jesus and begged Him to cast the unclean spirit out of her daughter.

Jesus (shaking His head): 27 I must feed the children first. It would do no good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.

Syrophoenician Woman: 28 Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table may eat of the children’s crumbs.

Jesus (smiling and nodding): 29 This is a wise saying. Go back home. Your daughter is free of the spirit that troubled her.

30 And when she returned to her house, she discovered that it was as Jesus had told her. Her daughter lay on her bed, in her right mind, whole and healthy.

Although Jesus at first answers the Greek woman harshly, He ultimately responds to her request. By healing her daughter, He demonstrates that God’s loving presence has come to all people and not just to Jews. It’s one of the first glimpses in this Gospel of the truth that will become clearer later—the truth that, through Jesus, God is making all people, and not just one chosen nation, clean and whole.

31 Jesus traveled on His way through Tyre and Sidon, eventually returning to the region of the Sea of Galilee. From there He pressed on to the area of the Ten Cities.[h] 32 Among the sick who were brought to Him was a man who was deaf and could barely speak at all, and those who brought him begged Jesus to lay His hands on the man. 33 Jesus took him aside from the crowd, alone, and touched his ears with His fingers. Then after spitting on His fingers, Jesus touched the man’s tongue. 34 Looking heavenward to God, Jesus sighed and commanded,

Jesus: Open up[i] and let this man speak.

35 [Immediately][j] the man could hear, his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly. 36 Jesus ordered those who had witnessed this to tell no one; but the more He insisted, the more zealously people spread the word.

People (astonished): 37 He does everything so well! He even returns sound to the deaf and mute.
