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.
Markus 7

Guds befalinger og menneskelige traditioner(A)
7 En dag kom der nogle farisæere og skriftlærde fra Jerusalem for at holde Jesus under observation. 2 De lagde mærke til, at nogle af hans disciple spiste med „vanhellige”, dvs. uvaskede hænder. 3-4 Jøderne—og ikke mindst farisæerne—var nemlig meget nøjeregnende med at overholde forfædrenes overleveringer, bl.a. de mange forskrifter for, hvordan man skulle rense kobberskåle, kander og krus,[a] som var blevet urene, og hvordan man skulle rense hænderne på en bestemt måde, når man kom hjem fra markedspladsen, eller når man skulle til at spise.
5 Farisæerne og de skriftlærde spurgte nu Jesus: „Hvorfor følger dine disciple ikke de regler, vores forfædre har pålagt os? De spiser jo med vanhellige hænder!”
6 „I er nogle hyklere!” udbrød Jesus. „Det er sådan nogle som jer, Gud har talt om i profeten Esajas’ bog:
‚Dette folk ærer mig i det ydre,
men deres hjerte er fjernt fra mig.
7 Det er forgæves, de dyrker mig,
når deres lære blot er menneskebud.’[b]
8 De ord passer på jer, for I tilsidesætter Guds bud og følger menneskelige traditioner i stedet for. 9 Hvor smukt af jer at ophæve Guds befalinger for at kunne overholde jeres egne traditioner!
10 For eksempel gav Moses jer følgende befaling fra Gud: ‚Du skal ære din far og din mor!’ Han sagde også: ‚Den, der forbander sin far eller mor, skal dø.’[c] 11 Men I hævder, at hvis blot man siger til sin far eller mor: ‚Det, du skulle have haft, vil jeg i stedet give som gave til templet,’ 12 så har man lov til at lade være med at hjælpe sine forældre. 13 På den måde ophæver I Guds ord til fordel for jeres egne traditioner. Det er bare ét eksempel ud af mange.”
Hvad gør et menneske urent i Guds øjne?(B)
14 Så kaldte Jesus folk sammen og sagde: „Hør nu efter, alle sammen! Prøv at forstå, hvad jeg siger: 15 Det er ikke det, som udefra kommer ind i et menneske, der gør det urent i Guds øjne. Tværtimod—det er det, som kommer ud inde fra mennesket, der gør det urent. 16 Lad dem høre, som har øre!”[d]
17 Jesus gik derefter ind i det hus, hvor han holdt til, for at slippe bort fra folkemængden, og hans disciple spurgte ham, hvad meningen var med det billede. 18 „Forstår I stadig ingenting?” sagde Jesus. „Så hør her: Det er jo ikke den mad, som udefra kommer ind i et menneske, der gør et menneskes tanker urene, 19 for maden kommer ned i maven og forsvinder ud igen.” Ved at sige det erklærede han, at al slags mad var acceptabel i Guds øjne. 20 Han tilføjede: „Det, der gør et menneske urent, er det, der udgår fra menneskets indre, 21 dvs. de onde tanker, som fører til: seksuel synd, tyveri, mord, 22 utroskab, griskhed, ondskab, bedragerier, udsvævelser, misundelse, bagvaskelse, arrogance og tåbelig snak. 23 Alle disse onde ting kommer indefra og forurener menneskene.”
En ikke-jødisk kvindes tro(C)
24 Derefter forlod Jesus og disciplene Galilæa og kom til egnene omkring Tyrus. Der fandt de et hus at bo i og ville gerne være forblevet ubemærket. Men det var umuligt. 25-26 Jesus blev straks opsøgt af en ikke-jødisk kvinde fra egnen, som havde hørt om ham. Hun havde en datter, som var plaget af en ond ånd, og hun kom nu og faldt på knæ foran Jesus og bønfaldt ham om at uddrive den onde ånd af hendes datter.
27 Jesus sagde til hende: „Jeg må først tage mig af mine egne ‚børn’, jøderne. Det kan ikke være rigtigt at tage børnenes mad og give den til hundehvalpene.”
28 „Det er sandt, Herre,” sagde hun, „og dog løber hvalpene ind under bordet og spiser de krummer, som børnene taber.”
29 Så sagde Jesus til hende: „Fordi du svarede på den måde, skal du få, hvad du bad om. Gå nu blot hjem. Den onde ånd har forladt din datter.”
30 Da hun kom hjem, lå hendes datter roligt i sengen. Den onde ånd var forsvundet.
Jesus helbreder en døvstum mand, som ikke var jøde(D)
31 Fra Tyrus gik Jesus via Sidon til Dekapolis’ egne øst for Genesaret Sø. 32 En døv mand, der tillige havde svært ved at tale, blev ført hen til ham, og man bad Jesus om at lægge hænderne på ham og helbrede ham. 33 Jesus tog ham lidt afsides og stak fingrene i ørerne på ham. Dernæst spyttede han på fingrene og rørte ved mandens tunge, 34 så op mod himlen, sukkede dybt og sagde: „Luk dig op!”
35 Straks kunne manden høre alt, hvad der blev sagt, og det, der havde hæmmet hans tale, forsvandt, så han kunne tale tydeligt. 36 Jesus forbød de tilstedeværende at sige det til nogen. Men jo mere han forbød det, desto ivrigere fortalte de om det, 37 for de var ude af sig selv af forundring. „Han kan klare alt!” sagde folk til hinanden. „Han helbreder både de stumme og de døve.”
