Marcos 7
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Lo que contamina al hombre(A)
7 Los fariseos y algunos de los escribas, que habían venido de Jerusalén, se acercaron a Jesús 2 y vieron que algunos de sus discípulos comían pan con manos impuras, es decir, sin habérselas lavado. 3 (Los fariseos, y todos los judíos, viven aferrados a la tradición de los ancianos, de modo que, si no se lavan las manos muchas veces, no comen. 4 Cuando vuelven del mercado, no comen si antes no se lavan. Y conservan también muchas otras tradiciones, como el lavar los vasos en que beben, los jarros, los utensilios de metal, y las camas.) 5 Entonces los fariseos y los escribas le preguntaron a Jesús: «¿Por qué tus discípulos no siguen la tradición de los ancianos, sino que comen pan con manos impuras?» 6 Jesús les respondió: «¡Hipócritas! Bien profetizó de ustedes Isaías, cuando escribió:
»“Este pueblo me honra con los labios,
pero su corazón está lejos de mí.
7 No tiene sentido que me honren,
si sus enseñanzas son mandamientos humanos.”(B)
8 Porque ustedes dejan de lado el mandamiento de Dios, y se aferran a la tradición de los hombres.» [Es decir, al lavamiento de jarros y de vasos para beber, y a muchas otras cosas semejantes.][a]
9 También les dijo: «¡Qué bien invalidan ustedes el mandamiento de Dios, para mantener su propia tradición! 10 Porque Moisés dijo: “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre”,(C) y también: “El que maldiga al padre o a la madre, morirá irremisiblemente.”(D) 11 Pero ustedes dicen: “Basta que alguien diga al padre o a la madre: ‘Todo aquello con que podría ayudarte es Corbán’ (es decir, mi ofrenda a Dios)”, 12 y con eso ustedes ya no permiten que nadie ayude más a su padre o a su madre. 13 Es así como ustedes invalidan la palabra de Dios con la tradición que se han transmitido, además de que hacen muchas otras cosas parecidas.»
14 Jesús volvió a llamar a toda la gente, y les dijo: «Escúchenme todos, y entiendan: 15 Nada que venga de afuera puede contaminar a nadie. Lo que contamina a la persona es lo que sale de ella.» 16 [Si alguno tiene oídos para oír, que oiga.][b] 17 Cuando entró en la casa, luego de alejarse de la multitud, sus discípulos le preguntaron acerca de la parábola. 18 Jesús les dijo: «¿Tampoco ustedes pueden entender esto? ¿Acaso no entienden que nada que venga de afuera y entre en alguien puede contaminarlo? 19 Porque eso no entra en su corazón, sino en su vientre, y al final va a parar en la letrina.» Con esto Jesús estaba diciendo que todos los alimentos son limpios, 20 aunque también decía que lo que contamina es lo que sale de la persona. 21 Porque de adentro del corazón humano salen los malos pensamientos, la inmoralidad sexual, los robos, los homicidios, 22 los adulterios, las avaricias, las maldades, el engaño, la lujuria, la envidia, la calumnia, la soberbia y la insensatez. 23 Todos estos males vienen de adentro y contaminan a la persona.
La fe de la mujer sirofenicia(E)
24 De allí Jesús se fue a la región de Tiro y de Sidón. Llegó a una casa y trató de que nadie lo supiera, pero no pudo esconderse 25 porque, tan pronto como una mujer, cuya hija tenía un espíritu impuro, supo que él había llegado, fue a su encuentro y se arrojó a sus pies. 26 Esa mujer era griega, de nacionalidad sirofenicia, y le rogaba que expulsara de su hija al demonio; 27 pero Jesús le dijo: «Primero deja que los hijos queden satisfechos, porque no está bien quitarles a los hijos su pan y echárselo a los perritos.» 28 La mujer le respondió: «Es verdad, Señor. Pero hasta los perritos comen debajo de la mesa las migajas que dejan caer los hijos.» 29 Entonces Jesús le dijo: «Por esto que has dicho, puedes irte tranquila; el demonio ya ha salido de tu hija.» 30 Cuando la mujer llegó a su casa, encontró a su hija acostada en la cama, y el demonio ya había salido de ella.
Jesús sana a un sordo
31 Jesús volvió a salir de la región de Tiro, y fue por Sidón al lago de Galilea, pasando por la región de Decápolis. 32 Le llevaron allí a un sordo y tartamudo, y le rogaban que pusiera la mano sobre él. 33 Jesús lo apartó de la gente, le metió los dedos en las orejas y, con su saliva, le tocó la lengua; 34 luego levantó los ojos al cielo, y lanzando un suspiro le dijo: «¡Efata!», es decir, «¡Ábrete!» 35 Al instante se le abrieron los oídos y se le destrabó la lengua, de modo que comenzó a hablar bien. 36 Jesús les mandó que no contaran esto a nadie, pero mientras más se lo prohibía, ellos más y más lo divulgaban. 37 La gente estaba muy asombrada, y decía: «Todo lo hace bien. Hasta puede hacer que los sordos oigan y que los mudos hablen.»

Markus 7
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
7 Og fariseerne og nogen av de skriftlærde, som var kommet fra Jerusalem, samlet sig om ham.
2 Og de fikk se at nogen av hans disipler åt med vanhellige, det er uvaskede, hender;
3 fariseerne og alle jøder eter ikke uten at de først omhyggelig har vasket hendene, for de holder fast ved de gamles vedtekt,
4 og når de kommer fra torvet, eter de ikke før de har vasket sig, og det er meget annet som de har vedtatt å holde: vaskninger av beger og krus og kobberkar og benker.
5 Og fariseerne og de skriftlærde spurte ham: Hvorfor følger ikke dine disipler de gamles vedtekt, men eter med vanhellige hender?
6 Men han sa til dem: Rett spådde Esaias om eder, I hyklere, således som skrevet er: Dette folk ærer mig med lebene, men deres hjerte er langt borte fra mig;
7 men de dyrker mig forgjeves, idet de lærer lærdommer som er menneskebud.
8 I forlater Guds bud og holder fast ved menneskers vedtekt.
9 Og han sa til dem: Det er riktig vakkert at I gjør Guds bud til intet for å holde eders vedtekt.
10 For Moses har sagt: Hedre din far og din mor, og: Den som banner far eller mor, skal visselig dø;
11 men I sier: Om et menneske sier til far eller mor: Det du skulde ha hatt til hjelp av mig, det skal være en korban, det er en gave til templet,
12 så lar I ham ikke lenger få lov til å gjøre noget for far eller mor,
13 og således gjør I Guds ord til intet ved eders vedtekt, som I har pålagt menneskene. Og meget av samme slag gjør I.
14 Og han kalte atter folket til sig og sa til dem: Hør på mig alle, og forstå hvad jeg sier!
15 Det er intet utenfor mennesket som kan gjøre ham uren når det kommer inn i ham; men det som går ut av mennesket, det er det som gjør mennesket urent.
16 Om nogen har ører å høre med, han høre!
17 Og da han var kommet inn i et hus, bort fra folket, spurte hans disipler ham om denne lignelse.
18 Og han sa til dem: Er da også I så uforstandige? Skjønner I ikke at intet som kommer inn i mennesket utenfra, kan gjøre ham uren?
19 Det kommer jo ikke inn i hans hjerte, mere bare i hans buk, og går ut den naturlige vei, hvorved all mat blir renset.
20 Men han sa: Det som går ut av mennesket, det er det som gjør mennesket urent.
21 For innenfra, fra menneskenes hjerte, kommer de onde tanker: utukt, tyveri, mord,
22 hor, havesyke, ondskap, svik, skamløshet, ondt øie, bespottelse, overmot, uforstand.
23 Alle disse onde ting kommer ut innenfra og gjør mennesket urent.
24 Og han stod op og gikk bort derfra til Tyrus' og Sidons landemerker. Og han gikk inn i et hus, og vilde ikke at nogen skulde få vite det, og det kunde dog ikke holdes skjult;
25 men en kvinne hvis datter hadde en uren ånd, hadde fått høre om ham, og kom straks og falt ned for hans føtter.
26 Men kvinnen var en hedensk kvinne, syrofønikisk av ætt; og hun bad ham at han vilde drive den onde ånd ut av hennes datter.
27 Og han sa til henne: La først barna bli mette! for det er ikke vakkert å ta brødet fra barna og kaste det for de små hunder.
28 Men hun svarte ham: Det er sant, Herre! de små hunder eter jo under bordet av barnas smuler.
29 Og han sa til henne: For dette ords skyld sier jeg dig: Gå bort! Den onde ånd er faret ut av din datter.
30 Og hun gikk bort til sitt hus og fant at barnet lå på sengen, og at den onde ånd var faret ut.
31 Og da han gikk ut igjen fra Tyrus' landemerker, kom han gjennem Sidon til den Galileiske Sjø, midt igjennem Dekapolis-landet.
32 Og de førte til ham en mann som var døv og hadde ondt for å tale, og de bad ham legge sin hånd på ham.
33 Og han tok ham avsides fra folket, og stakk sine fingrer i hans ører og spyttet og rørte ved hans tunge,
34 og så op mot himmelen, sukket og sa til ham: Effata! det er: lat dig op!
35 Og straks blev hans ører oplatt, og hans tunges bånd blev løst, og han talte rent.
36 Og han forbød dem å si det til nogen; men jo mere han forbød dem det, dess mere kunngjorde de det.
37 Og de var overvettes forundret og sa: Han har gjort alle ting vel; både gjør han at de døve hører, og at de målløse taler.
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.”

New King James Version
Defilement Comes from Within(A)
7 Then (B)the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem. 2 Now [a]when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with (C)unwashed hands, [b]they found fault. 3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands [c]in a special way, holding the (D)tradition of the elders. 4 When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.
5 (E)Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?”
6 He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you (F)hypocrites, as it is written:
(G)‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
7 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—[d]the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.”
9 He said to them, “All too well (H)you [e]reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, (I)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (J)‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, (K)“Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God), 12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, 13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
14 (L)When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and (M)understand: 15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that (N)defile a man. 16 (O)If[f] anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
17 (P)When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable. 18 So He said to them, (Q)“Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, [g]thus purifying all foods?” 20 And He said, (R)“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 (S)For from within, out of the heart of men, (T)proceed evil thoughts, (U)adulteries, (V)fornications, murders, 22 thefts, (W)covetousness, wickedness, (X)deceit, (Y)lewdness, an evil eye, (Z)blasphemy, (AA)pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
A Gentile Shows Her Faith(AB)
24 (AC)From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre [h]and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be (AD)hidden. 25 For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and (AE)fell at His feet. 26 The woman was a [i]Greek, a [j]Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept [k]asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
28 And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.”
29 Then He said to her, “For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
Jesus Heals a Deaf-Mute(AF)
31 (AG)Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee. 32 Then (AH)they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him. 33 And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and (AI)He spat and touched his tongue. 34 Then, (AJ)looking up to heaven, (AK)He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”
35 (AL)Immediately his ears were opened, and the [l]impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly. 36 Then (AM)He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. 37 And they were (AN)astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He (AO)makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
