马可福音 7
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
传统与诫命
7 有些法利赛人和一些从耶路撒冷来的经文士聚集到耶稣那里。 2 他们看见耶稣的一些门徒用不洁净的手，就是没有洗过的手吃饭[a][b]。 3 原来，法利赛人和所有的犹太人都拘守古人的传统：如果不按规矩[c]洗手就不吃饭； 4 他们从街市上回来，如果不行洗净礼，也就不吃饭；他们还有很多其他的传统要拘守，例如洗杯子、瓶子、铜器，甚至床[d]等。 5 于是，法利赛人和经文士就问耶稣：“你的门徒们为什么不照着古人的传统行事，用不洁净的[e]手吃饭[f]呢？”
6 耶稣对他们说：“以赛亚指着你们这些伪善的人所说的预言是对的，正如经上所记：
8 你们离弃了神的命令，而拘守人的传统[i]。” 9 耶稣又对他们说：“你们为了要守住你们的传统，竟然弃绝了神的命令！ 10 摩西吩咐过
11 你们却说‘如果一个人对父亲或母亲说：我本该给你的，已经做了“各尔板”——这意思是“圣殿奉献”， 12 就准许这个人可以不再为父母做什么了。’ 13 这样，你们就藉着所继承的传统，废弃了神的话语[l]。你们还做很多类似这样的事。” 14 耶稣又[m]召来众人，对他们说：“你们每个人都当听我说，也当领悟： 15 从人外面进到他里面的，没有一样能使人[n]污秽；相反，从人里面出来的，才会使人污秽。 16 凡是有耳可听的，就应当听！[o]”
17 耶稣离开人群，一进了房子，他的门徒们就问他这比喻的意思。 18 耶稣说：“你们也是这样无知吗？你们难道不明白一切从外面进到人里面的，不能使人污秽吗？ 19 因为这些东西不是进到人的心里，而是进入肚子，然后排到厕所里去。”耶稣这样就使一切食物都洁净。 20 他接着说：“从人里面出来的，那才使人污秽。 21 因为从里面，就是从人心里发出种种恶念：淫乱、偷窃、杀人、 22 通奸、贪心、恶意、欺诈、好色、嫉妒、毁谤、骄傲、愚妄， 23 这一切邪恶都是从人里面出来的，而且使人污秽。”
外邦妇人的信心
24 耶稣起身离开那地方到提尔和西顿[p]地区。他进了一户人家，本来不愿意任何人知道，却还是不能避开众人。 25 有一个妇人，她的女儿有污灵附着。这妇人一听说耶稣的事，就赶来俯伏在他的脚前。 26 这妇人是希腊人，出生在叙利亚的腓尼基。她请求耶稣把鬼魔从她女儿身上赶出去。 27 耶稣对她说：“应该先让儿女吃饱，因为拿儿女的饼扔给小狗，是不合宜的。”
28 妇人回答说：“主啊[q]！连桌子底下的小狗，也吃得到孩子们的碎渣！”
29 耶稣对她说：“凭你这句话，你可以回去了。鬼魔已经离开了你的女儿。” 30 妇人回到家，发现孩子[r]躺在床上，鬼魔已经离去了。
耶稣做事都美好
31 耶稣离开提尔地区，经过西顿，从德卡波利斯境内又来到加利利湖边[s]。 32 有人把一个又聋又哑的人带到耶稣面前，恳求耶稣按手在他身上。 33 耶稣把他从人群中单独带到一边去，用指头伸进他的耳朵，吐唾沫来抹他的舌头， 34 然后望天嘘了一口气，对他说：“以法达[t]！”——这意思是“开了吧”。 35 他的耳朵立刻开了，舌结也解了，说话也清楚了。 36 耶稣吩咐他们不要告诉任何人。但是，他越是吩咐，他们越是大大传扬。
37 人们极其惊讶，说：“他所做的一切都好！他甚至使聋子听见，使哑巴说话。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
传统与诫命
7 有法利赛人和一些律法教师从耶路撒冷来见耶稣。 2 他们看到祂的门徒有些吃饭前没有照礼仪洗手。 3 因为法利赛人和所有的犹太人都拘守祖先的传统，总是先照礼仪洗手之后才吃饭； 4 从市场回来也要先洁净自己，然后才吃饭。他们还拘守许多其他规矩，如洗杯、罐、铜器等。
5 他们质问耶稣：“为什么你的门徒违背祖先的传统，竟用不洁净的手吃饭呢？”
6 耶稣回答说：“以赛亚先知针对你们这些伪君子所说的预言一点不错，正如圣经上说，
“‘这些人嘴上尊崇我，
心却远离我。
7 他们的教导无非是人的规条，
他们敬拜我也是枉然。’
8 你们只知拘守人的传统，却无视上帝的诫命。” 9 耶稣又对他们说：“你们为了拘守自己的传统，竟巧妙地废除了上帝的诫命。 10 摩西说，‘要孝敬父母’，又说，‘咒骂父母的，必被处死。’ 11 你们却认为人若对父母说，‘我把供养你们的钱财已经全部奉献给上帝了’， 12 他就可以不奉养父母。 13 你们就是这样为了拘守传统而废除上帝的道，类似的情形还有很多。”
内心的污秽
14 耶稣又召集众人，教导他们说：“我的话，你们要听明白， 15 从外面进去的不会使人污秽，只有从人里面发出来的才会使人污秽。 16 有耳可听的，都应当听！”
17 耶稣离开众人，进了屋子，门徒问祂这比喻的意思。 18 耶稣说：“你们也不明白吗？你们不知道吗？从外面进去的，不会使人污秽， 19 因为不能进入他的心，只能进他的肠胃，最后会排出来，也就是说所有的食物都是洁净的。 20 从人里面发出来的才使人污秽， 21 因为从里面，就是从人的心里能够生出恶念、苟合、偷盗、谋杀、 22 通奸、贪婪、邪恶、诡诈、放荡、嫉妒、毁谤、骄傲、狂妄。 23 这一切恶事都是从里面生出来的，能使人污秽。”
外族妇人的信心
24 耶稣从那里启程去泰尔和西顿地区。祂进了一户人家，原本不想让人知道，却无法避开人们的注意。 25-26 当时有一个妇人的小女儿被污鬼附身，她听见耶稣的事，就来俯伏在祂脚前，恳求祂赶出她女儿身上的鬼。这妇人是希腊人，来自叙利亚的腓尼基。
27 耶稣对她说：“要先让儿女们吃饱，因为把儿女的食物丢给狗吃不合适。”
28 妇人说：“主啊，你说的对，但桌子下的狗也吃孩子们掉下来的碎渣呀！”
29 耶稣说：“因为你这句话，你回去吧，鬼已经离开你的女儿了。”
30 她回到家里，见女儿躺在床上，鬼已经离开了。
医治聋哑的人
31 耶稣离开泰尔地区，经过西顿，来到低加坡里地区的加利利湖。 32 有人带着一个又聋又哑的人来见耶稣，恳求祂把手按在这个人身上。 33 耶稣就带他离开众人走到一边，用指头伸进他的耳朵，又吐唾沫抹他的舌头， 34 望天长叹，对他说：“以法大！”意思是“开了吧！” 35 他的耳朵立刻开了，舌头灵活了，说话也清楚了。 36 耶稣吩咐他们不要将这事告诉人。可是耶稣越是这样吩咐，他们越是极力宣扬， 37 听见的人都十分惊奇，说：“祂做的事好极了，甚至叫聋子听见，哑巴说话！”
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.
