Mark 7
World English Bible
7 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem. 2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.) 5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”
6 He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,
‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
7 They worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’(A)
8 “For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.” 9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’(B) and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’(C) 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’”[a] that is to say, given to God, 12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother, 13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand. 15 There is nothing from outside of the man that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man. 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”[b]
17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him, 19 because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”[c] 20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man. 21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts, 22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
24 From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice. 25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
31 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis. 32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him. 33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue. 34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!” 35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly. 36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it. 37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

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.”

La ley de Dios y las normas humanas
(Mt 15:1-20)
7 Los fariseos y algunos maestros de la ley que vinieron desde Jerusalén se reunían con Jesús. 2 Ellos vieron que algunos de sus seguidores comían con manos impuras, o sea, sin cumplir el ritual de lavarse las manos. 3 Los fariseos y todos los judíos no comen sin antes lavarse las manos, siguiendo el ritual tradicional de sus antepasados. 4 Tampoco comen lo que compran en el mercado sin antes lavarlo. También cumplen muchos otros rituales como los que tienen que ver con lavar los vasos, las jarras y las ollas.[a] 5 Por eso los fariseos y los maestros de la ley le preguntaron a Jesús:
—¿Por qué tus seguidores no cumplen las tradiciones de nuestros antepasados? Comen con las manos impuras.
6 Jesús les respondió:
—¡Hipócritas! Isaías tenía razón cuando profetizó sobre ustedes:
“Este pueblo me honra de labios para afuera,
pero su corazón está lejos de mí.
7 (A)De nada les sirve que me adoren
porque todo lo que enseñan son normas de hombres”.[b]
8 Ustedes han olvidado los mandamientos de Dios. Sólo cumplen tradiciones humanas.
9 También les dijo:
—¡Vaya manera la de ustedes de convencer a la gente para que siga la tradición de ustedes en vez de seguir el mandamiento de Dios![c] 10 (B)(C)Moisés dijo: “Respeta a tu papá y a tu mamá”[d] y “El que insulte al papá o a la mamá debe morir”.[e] 11 Pero ustedes enseñan que alguien puede decirle al papá o a la mamá: “Tengo algo que te podría ayudar, pero lo voy a entregar como Corbán” (que significa «mi ofrenda a Dios»). 12 Eso significa que ustedes permiten que alguien deje de ayudar al papá o a la mamá. 13 Así con la tradición que se trasmiten unos a otros, ustedes anulan la palabra de Dios. Y hacen muchas otras cosas como estas.
14 Jesús llamó a la multitud otra vez y le dijo:
—Escúchenme todos y entiendan. 15 Ningún alimento que entre en el cuerpo lo vuelve impuro a uno. Es lo que sale del interior lo que lo vuelve impuro a uno. 16 [f]
17 Cuando dejó la multitud y entró a la casa, sus seguidores le preguntaron el significado de la historia. 18 Jesús les dijo:
—¿Es que ustedes tampoco entienden? ¿No se dan cuenta de que lo que alguien come no lo puede volver impuro? 19 Porque lo que coma una persona no afecta su manera de pensar, sino que va a su estómago y luego sale a la letrina.
Con estas palabras Jesús daba a entender que ningún alimento está prohibido. 20 Después les dijo:
—Lo que sale del interior de la gente es lo que vuelve impuro a alguien. 21 Porque del interior de la gente, o sea de la mente, salen los malos pensamientos, la inmoralidad sexual, el robo, el asesinato, 22 el adulterio, la codicia, la maldad, el engaño, el desenfreno, la envidia, los insultos, la arrogancia y la necedad. 23 Toda esa maldad proviene del interior y es lo que hace impura a la gente.
Jesús ayuda a una extranjera
(Mt 15:21-28)
24 Jesús salió de allí y se fue a la región de Tiro. Entró a una casa y no quería que nadie supiera que estaba allí, pero le fue imposible esconderse. 25 Pronto una mujer que tenía una hija poseída por un espíritu maligno se enteró de que Jesús estaba en el pueblo. La mujer llegó hasta él y se postró a sus pies. 26 Ella era griega, nacida en Fenicia, Siria. Le pidió que expulsara de su hija el demonio. 27 Jesús le dijo:
—Primero hay que dejar satisfechos a los hijos, porque no está bien darles el pan de los hijos a los perros.
28 Pero ella le respondió:
—Es cierto, Señor. Pero hasta los perros que están debajo de la mesa pueden comer las migajas que dejan caer los hijos.
29 Entonces Jesús le dijo:
—¡Qué buena respuesta! Vete tranquila a tu casa, que tu hija ya no tiene ningún demonio.
30 La mujer fue a su casa y encontró a su hija acostada en la cama; y que el demonio había salido de ella.
Jesús sana a un sordomudo
31 Después Jesús regresó de la región de Tiro y, pasando por Sidón, llegó al lago de Galilea, atravesando la región de Decápolis. 32 Allí le llevaron a Jesús a un hombre que era sordo y casi no podía hablar. Le rogaron que lo tocara para sanarlo.
33 Jesús se alejó con el hombre para apartarse de la multitud. Le metió los dedos en los oídos, escupió y con saliva le tocó la lengua. 34 Después Jesús miró hacia el cielo, respiró profundo y dijo: «¡Efatá!» (que significa «¡Ábrete!»). 35 Enseguida el hombre pudo oír, se arregló su defecto de la lengua y comenzó a hablar normalmente.
36 Jesús les ordenó a los que vieron el milagro que no contaran lo que había pasado. Sin embargo, entre más se lo ordenaba, más iban a contarlo. 37 La gente quedó completamente atónita y decían: «Hace todo muy bien. ¡Hasta puede hacer que los sordos oigan y que los mudos hablen!»

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.
