Chapter 7
1
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, +w Well|strong=“G2573”+w* +w hath|strong=“G4395”+w* +w Esaias|strong=“G2268”+w* +w prophesied|strong=“G4395”+w* +w of|strong=“G4012”+w* +w you|strong=“G5216”+w* +w hypocrites|strong=“G5273”+w*, +w as|strong=“G5613”+w* +w it is written|strong=“G1125”+w*, +w This|strong=“G3778”+w* +w people|strong=“G2992”+w* +w honoureth|strong=“G5091”+w* +w me|strong=“G3165”+w* +w with|strong=“G5491”+w* +add their+add* +w lips|strong=“G5491”+w*, +w but|strong=“G1161”+w* +w their|strong=“G0846”+w* +w heart|strong=“G2588”+w* +w is|strong=“G0568”+w* +w far|strong=“G4206”+w* +w from|strong=“G0575”+w* +w me|strong=“G1700”+w*.
7
+w Howbeit|strong=“G1161”+w* +w in vain|strong=“G3155”+w* +w do they worship|strong=“G4576”+w* +w me|strong=“G3165”+w*, +w teaching|strong=“G1321”+w* +add for+add* +w doctrines|strong=“G1319”+w* +w the commandments|strong=“G1778”+w* +w of men|strong=“G0444”+w*.

9
And he said unto them, +w Full well|strong=“G2573”+w* +w ye reject|strong=“G0114”+w* +w the commandment|strong=“G1785”+w* +w of God|strong=“G2316”+w*, +w that|strong=“G2443”+w* +w ye may keep|strong=“G5083”+w* +w your own|strong=“G5216”+w* +w tradition|strong=“G3862”+w*.

14
¶ And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, +w Hearken|strong=“G0191”+w* +w unto me|strong=“G3450”+w* +w every one|strong=“G3956”+w* +add of you+add*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w understand|strong=“G4920”+w*:

+w If|strong=“G1487”+w* +w any man|strong=“G5100”+w* +w have|strong=“G2192”+w* +w ears|strong=“G3775”+w* +w to hear|strong=“G0191”+w*, +w let him hear|strong=“G0191”+w*.
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, +w Are|strong=“G2075”+w* +w ye|strong=“G5210”+w* +w so|strong=“G3779”+w* +w without understanding|strong=“G0801”+w* +w also|strong=“G2532”+w*? +w Do ye|strong=“G3539”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w perceive|strong=“G3539”+w*, +w that|strong=“G3754”+w* +w whatsoever|strong=“G3956”+w* +w thing from without|strong=“G1855”+w* +w entereth|strong=“G1531”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the man|strong=“G0444”+w*, +add it+add* +w can|strong=“G1410”+w*+w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w defile|strong=“G2840”+w* +w him|strong=“G0846”+w*;
19
+w Because|strong=“G3754”+w* +w it entereth|strong=“G1531”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w his|strong=“G0846”+w* +w heart|strong=“G2588”+w*, +w but|strong=“G0235”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the belly|strong=“G2836”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w goeth out|strong=“G1607”+w* +w into|strong=“G1519”+w* +w the draught|strong=“G0856”+w*, +w purging|strong=“G2511”+w* +w all|strong=“G3956”+w* +w meats|strong=“G1033”+w*?
20
And he said, +w That which cometh out|strong=“G1607”+w* +w of|strong=“G1537”+w* +w the man|strong=“G0444”+w*, +w that|strong=“G1565”+w* +w defileth|strong=“G2840”+w* +w the man|strong=“G0444”+w*.
21
+w For|strong=“G1063”+w* +w from within|strong=“G2081”+w*, +w out|strong=“G1537”+w* +w of the heart|strong=“G2588”+w* +w of men|strong=“G0444”+w*, +w proceed|strong=“G1607”+w* +w evil|strong=“G2556”+w* +w thoughts|strong=“G1261”+w*, +w adulteries|strong=“G3430”+w*, +w fornications|strong=“G4202”+w*, +w murders|strong=“G5408”+w*,

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, +w Let|strong=“G0863”+w* +w the children|strong=“G5043”+w* +w first|strong=“G4412”+w* +w be filled|strong=“G5526”+w*: +w for|strong=“G1063”+w* +w it is|strong=“G2076”+w* +w not|strong=“G3756”+w* +w meet|strong=“G2570”+w* +w to take|strong=“G2983”+w* +w the children’s|strong=“G5043”+w* +w bread|strong=“G0740”+w*, +w and|strong=“G2532”+w* +w to cast|strong=“G0906”+w* +add it+add* +w unto the dogs|strong=“G2952”+w*.
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, +w For|strong=“G1223”+w* +w this|strong=“G5126”+w* +w saying|strong=“G3056”+w* +w go thy way|strong=“G5217”+w*; +w the devil|strong=“G1140”+w* +w is gone out|strong=“G1831”+w* +w of|strong=“G1537”+w* +w thy|strong=“G4675”+w* +w daughter|strong=“G2364”+w*.
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, j +w Ephphatha|strong=“G2188”+w*, 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.
