Mark 7
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Tradition of the Elders
7 Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, 2 they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands,[a] thus observing the tradition of the elders; 4 and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it;[b] and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.[c]) 5 So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live[d] according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” 6 He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written,
‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me;
7 in vain do they worship me,
teaching human precepts as doctrines.’
8 You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”
9 Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition! 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.’ 11 But you say that if anyone tells father or mother, ‘Whatever support you might have had from me is Corban’ (that is, an offering to God[e])— 12 then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother, 13 thus making void the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this.”
14 Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile.”[f]
17 When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 He said to them, “Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, 19 since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles. 21 For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22 adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
The Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith
24 From there he set out and went away to the region of Tyre.[g] He entered a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice, 25 but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 He said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered him, “Sir,[h] even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” 29 Then he said to her, “For saying that, you may go—the demon has left your daughter.” 30 So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Jesus Cures a Deaf Man
31 Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. 32 They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on him. 33 He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue. 34 Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 35 And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. 36 Then Jesus[i] ordered them to tell no one; but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. 37 They were astounded beyond measure, saying, “He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

Lo que contamina al hombre
7 (A)Los fariseos, y algunos de los escribas que habían venido de Jerusalén(B), se reunieron alrededor de Él; 2 y vieron que algunos de Sus discípulos comían el pan con manos inmundas(C), es decir, sin lavar. 3 (Porque los fariseos y todos los judíos no comen a menos que se laven las manos cuidadosamente[a], observando así la tradición de los ancianos(D). 4 Cuando vuelven de la plaza, no comen a menos que se laven[b]; y hay muchas otras cosas que han recibido para observarlas, como el lavamiento[c] de los vasos(E), de los cántaros y de las vasijas de cobre.)
5 Así que los fariseos y los escribas le preguntaron*: «¿Por qué Tus discípulos no andan conforme a la tradición de los ancianos(F), sino que comen[d] con manos inmundas[e](G)?». 6 Jesús les respondió: «Bien profetizó Isaías de ustedes, hipócritas, como está escrito:
“Este pueblo con los labios me honra,
Pero su corazón está muy lejos de Mí(H) .
7 -”Mas en vano me rinden culto,
Enseñando como doctrinas preceptos de hombres(I) ”.
8 Dejando el mandamiento de Dios, ustedes se aferran a la tradición de los hombres(J) ».
9 También les decía: «Astutamente[f]ustedes violan el mandamiento de Dios para guardar su tradición(K). 10 Porque Moisés dijo: “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre(L)”; y: “El que hable mal de su padre o de su madre, que muera[g](M)”. 11 Pero ustedes dicen: “Si un hombre dice al padre o a la madre: ‘Cualquier cosa mía con que pudieras beneficiarte es corbán(N) (es decir, ofrenda[h] a Dios)’”, 12 ya no le dejan hacer nada en favor de su padre o de su madre; 13 invalidando así la palabra de Dios por la tradición(O)de ustedes, la cual han transmitido, y hacen muchas cosas semejantes a estas».
14 Llamando de nuevo a la multitud, Jesús les decía: «Escuchen todos lo que les digo y entiendan: 15 no hay nada fuera del hombre que al entrar en él pueda contaminarlo; sino que lo que sale de adentro del hombre es lo que contamina al hombre. 16 [i]Si alguno tiene oídos para oír, que oiga».
17 Cuando Jesús dejó a la multitud y entró en casa(P), Sus discípulos le preguntaron acerca de la parábola(Q). 18 «¿También ustedes son tan faltos de entendimiento?», les dijo*. «¿No comprenden que todo lo que de afuera entra al hombre no lo puede contaminar, 19 porque no entra en su corazón, sino en el estómago[j], y se elimina[k]?». Jesús declaró así limpios(R) todos los alimentos(S).
20 También decía: «Lo que sale del hombre, eso es lo que contamina al hombre(T). 21 Porque de adentro, del corazón de los hombres, salen los malos pensamientos, fornicaciones[l], robos, homicidios, adulterios, 22 avaricias, maldades, engaños, sensualidad, envidia[m](U), calumnia, orgullo[n]e insensatez. 23 Todas estas maldades de adentro salen, y contaminan al hombre».
La mujer sirofenicia
24 (V)Levantándose de allí, Jesús se fue a la región de Tiro[o](W), y entrando en una casa, no quería que nadie lo supiera, pero[p] no pudo pasar inadvertido; 25 sino que enseguida, al oír hablar de Él, una mujer cuya hijita tenía un espíritu inmundo, fue y se postró a Sus pies. 26 La mujer era gentil[q], sirofenicia de nacimiento; y le rogaba que echara al demonio fuera de su hija.
27 Y Jesús le decía: «Deja que primero los hijos se sacien, pues no está bien[r]tomar el pan de los hijos y echarlo a los perrillos». 28 «Es cierto, Señor», le dijo* ella; «pero aun los perrillos debajo de la mesa comen las migajas de los hijos». 29 Jesús le dijo: «Por esta respuesta[s], vete; ya el demonio ha salido de tu hija». 30 Cuando ella volvió a su casa, halló que la niña estaba acostada[t] en la cama, y que el demonio había salido.
Curación de un sordomudo
31 (X)Volviendo Jesús a salir de la región de Tiro(Y), pasó por Sidón(Z) y llegó al mar de Galilea(AA), atravesando la región de Decápolis(AB). 32 Y le trajeron* a uno que era sordo y tartamudo, y le rogaron* que pusiera la mano sobre él(AC). 33 Entonces Jesús, tomándolo aparte de la multitud, a solas, le metió los dedos en los oídos, y escupiendo(AD), le tocó la lengua con la saliva; 34 y levantando los ojos al cielo, suspiró profundamente(AE) y le dijo*: «¡Effatá!», esto es, «¡Abrete!».
35 Al instante se abrieron sus oídos, y desapareció[u] el impedimento[v] de su lengua, y hablaba con claridad. 36 Jesús les ordenó que a nadie se lo dijeran(AF); pero mientras más se lo ordenaba, tanto más ellos lo proclamaban(AG). 37 Y estaban asombrados en gran manera, y decían: «Todo lo ha hecho bien; aun a los sordos hace oír y a los mudos hablar».

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。”

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.”
