O que contamina o ser humano
(Mt 15.1-20)
7 Um dia, chegaram de Jerusalém uns fariseus e especialistas na Lei para falarem com Jesus. 2 E notaram que alguns dos seus discípulos comiam com as mãos impuras, isto é, sem as lavarem. 3 (Porque os judeus, sobretudo os que são fariseus, nunca comem sem lavar ritualmente as mãos, conforme o exigem as antigas tradições[a]. 4 E quando voltam da rua para casa, devem sempre lavar-se deste modo antes de tocar em qualquer comida. Este é apenas um entre os muitos exemplos das leis a que se agarraram, tais como o ritual de purificação de vasilhas, panelas e pratos.) 5 Os fariseus e especialistas na Lei perguntaram-lhe: “Porque não seguem os teus discípulos os costumes dos antigos e comem com as mãos impuras?”
6 Jesus respondeu: “Fingidos! Bem falou Isaías, o profeta, a vosso respeito:
‘Este povo honra-me de mim com os lábios,
mas o seu coração está longe de mim.
7 Os seus atos de adoração são vazios,
porque ensinam doutrinas criadas por homens.’[b]
8 Isaías bem tinha razão! Porque vocês desprezam as ordens expressas de Deus para porem no seu lugar as vossas próprias tradições. 9 Rejeitam os mandamentos bem claros de Deus para manter as vossas próprias tradições.
10 Por exemplo: Moisés ordenou-vos da parte de Deus: ‘Honra o teu pai e a tua mãe’,[c] acrescentando que ‘todo aquele que falar contra o pai ou a mãe deverá ser morto.’[d] 11-12 Mas vocês dizem: ‘Mesmo que os teus pais estejam a passar mal, podes dar a Deus o dinheiro que seria para o sustento deles.’ 13 Assim ofendem a Lei divina para defender as vossas tradições criadas por homens. E isto é só um exemplo, porque há muitos mais.”
14 Então chamou de novo a multidão e disse-lhe: “Escutem todos o que vos digo e procurem entender. 15 Não há nada exterior ao homem que ao entrar nele o torne impuro; antes o que sai dele é que o torna impuro.” 16 Quem tem ouvidos para ouvir ouça.
17 Depois de deixar aquele povo, entrou numa casa e os discípulos perguntaram-lhe o que queria dizer com a parábola que acabara de contar. 18 “Então não entendem?”, perguntou-lhes. “Não percebem que nada do que vem do exterior e entra no homem pode torná-lo impuro? 19 Pois não vai para o coração, mas para o estômago e é lançado na latrina.” Com estas palavras, Jesus queria dizer que todos os alimentos ficam puros, independentemente de se lavarem as mãos.
20 E acrescentou: “O que sai do homem é que o torna impuro. 21 Porque do seu íntimo, do seu coração, vêm os maus pensamentos, imoralidades sexuais, roubos, homicídios, 22 adultérios, cobiça, maldades, engano, indecências, inveja, calúnia, orgulho e coisas insensatas. 23 Todas essas coisas más procedem do íntimo da pessoa; são elas que tornam o homem impuro.”
A fé da estrangeira
(Mt 15.21-28)
24 Depois, saiu da Galileia e foi para a região de Tiro e Sídon, mas não conseguiu esconder que estava ali. Como de costume, a notícia da sua chegada depressa se espalhou. 25 Imediatamente foi procurado por uma mulher cuja filha estava possuída por um espírito impuro. Como tinha já ouvido falar em Jesus, aproximou-se dele e prostrou-se aos seus pés, 26 pedindo-lhe muito que livrasse a filha do poder do demónio. Tratava-se de uma siro-fenícia, uma estrangeira, e por isso desprezada pelos judeus. 27 Jesus disse-lhe: “Primeiro tenho que ajudar os da minha família, os judeus. Não está certo tirar o pão aos filhos e lançá-la aos cães.”
28 Ela replicou: “Senhor, até os cachorrinhos comem, debaixo da mesa, das migalhas dos filhos.”
29 “Estás certa! Respondeste tão bem que já curei a tua filhinha!” 30 E quando chegou a casa, encontrou a filha sossegada, na cama; o demónio tinha-a deixado.
A cura do surdo-mudo
(Mt 15.29-31)
31 De Tiro foi para Sídon, voltando em seguida ao mar da Galileia pelo caminho das Dez Cidades. 32 E trouxeram-lhe um surdo que tinha um defeito na fala e todos lhe pediam que pusesse as mãos sobre o homem e o curasse. 33 Então Jesus, afastando-o da multidão, pôs os dedos nos ouvidos do homem e, cuspindo, tocou-lhe na língua com a sua saliva. 34 Levantando os olhos para o céu, suspirou e ordenou: “Effata!”, que significa “Abram-se!” 35 No mesmo instante, o homem começou a ouvir e a falar perfeitamente.
36 Jesus recomendou à multidão que não espalhasse a notícia; mas quanto mais proibia, mais o facto se divulgava. 37 Porque toda a gente sentia enorme espanto, dizendo a cada instante: “Tudo o que faz é maravilhoso! Os surdos ouvem e os mudos falam!”

7 Les pharisiens et quelques scribes, venus de Jérusalem, s'assemblèrent auprès de Jésus.
2 Ils virent quelques-uns de ses disciples prendre leurs repas avec des mains impures, c'est-à-dire, non lavées.
3 Or, les pharisiens et tous les Juifs ne mangent pas sans s'être lavé soigneusement les mains, conformément à la tradition des anciens;
4 et, quand ils reviennent de la place publique, ils ne mangent qu'après s'être purifiés. Ils ont encore beaucoup d'autres observances traditionnelles, comme le lavage des coupes, des cruches et des vases d'airain.
5 Et les pharisiens et les scribes lui demandèrent: Pourquoi tes disciples ne suivent-ils pas la tradition des anciens, mais prennent-ils leurs repas avec des mains impures?
6 Jésus leur répondit: Hypocrites, Ésaïe a bien prophétisé sur vous, ainsi qu'il est écrit: Ce peuple m'honore des lèvres, Mais son coeur est éloigné de moi.
7 C'est en vain qu'ils m'honorent, En donnant des préceptes qui sont des commandements d'hommes.
8 Vous abandonnez le commandement de Dieu, et vous observez la tradition des hommes.
9 Il leur dit encore: Vous anéantissez fort bien le commandement de Dieu, pour garder votre tradition.
10 Car Moïse a dit: Honore ton père et ta mère; et: Celui qui maudira son père ou sa mère sera puni de mort.
11 Mais vous, vous dites: Si un homme dit à son père ou à sa mère: Ce dont j'aurais pu t'assister est corban, c'est-à-dire, une offrande à Dieu,
12 vous ne le laissez plus rien faire pour son père ou pour sa mère,
13 annulant ainsi la parole de Dieu par votre tradition, que vous avez établie. Et vous faites beaucoup d'autres choses semblables.
14 Ensuite, ayant de nouveau appelé la foule à lui, il lui dit: Écoutez-moi tous, et comprenez.
15 Il n'est hors de l'homme rien qui, entrant en lui, puisse le souiller; mais ce qui sort de l'homme, c'est ce qui le souille.
16 Si quelqu'un a des oreilles pour entendre, qu'il entende.
17 Lorsqu'il fut entré dans la maison, loin de la foule, ses disciples l'interrogèrent sur cette parabole.
18 Il leur dit: Vous aussi, êtes-vous donc sans intelligence? Ne comprenez-vous pas que rien de ce qui du dehors entre dans l'homme ne peut le souiller?
19 Car cela n'entre pas dans son coeur, mais dans son ventre, puis s'en va dans les lieux secrets, qui purifient tous les aliments.
20 Il dit encore: Ce qui sort de l'homme, c'est ce qui souille l'homme.
21 Car c'est du dedans, c'est du coeur des hommes, que sortent les mauvaises pensées, les adultères, les impudicités, les meurtres,
22 les vols, les cupidités, les méchancetés, la fraude, le dérèglement, le regard envieux, la calomnie, l'orgueil, la folie.
23 Toutes ces choses mauvaises sortent du dedans, et souillent l'homme.
24 Jésus, étant parti de là, s'en alla dans le territoire de Tyr et de Sidon. Il entra dans une maison, désirant que personne ne le sût; mais il ne put rester caché.
25 Car une femme, dont la fille était possédée d'un esprit impur, entendit parler de lui, et vint se jeter à ses pieds.
26 Cette femme était grecque, syro-phénicienne d'origine. Elle le pria de chasser le démon hors de sa fille. Jésus lui dit:
27 Laisse d'abord les enfants se rassasier; car il n'est pas bien de prendre le pain des enfants, et de le jeter aux petits chiens.
28 Oui, Seigneur, lui répondit-elle, mais les petits chiens, sous la table, mangent les miettes des enfants.
29 Alors il lui dit: à cause de cette parole, va, le démon est sorti de ta fille.
30 Et, quand elle rentra dans sa maison, elle trouva l'enfant couchée sur le lit, le démon étant sorti.
31 Jésus quitta le territoire de Tyr, et revint par Sidon vers la mer de Galilée, en traversant le pays de la Décapole.
32 On lui amena un sourd, qui avait de la difficulté à parler, et on le pria de lui imposer les mains.
33 Il le prit à part loin de la foule, lui mit les doigts dans les oreilles, et lui toucha la langue avec sa propre salive;
34 puis, levant les yeux au ciel, il soupira, et dit: Éphphatha, c'est-à-dire, ouvre-toi.
35 Aussitôt ses oreilles s'ouvrirent, sa langue se délia, et il parla très bien.
36 Jésus leur recommanda de n'en parler à personne; mais plus il le leur recommanda, plus ils le publièrent.
37 Ils étaient dans le plus grand étonnement, et disaient: Il fait tout à merveille; même il fait entendre les sourds, et parler les muets.
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.
Mark 7
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.”
