- Kapitel 7 -

(Matthew 15:1–9)
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, 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.

What Defiles a Man

(Matthew 15:10–20)
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.

The Faith of the Gentile Woman

(Matthew 15:21–28)
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.

The Deaf and Mute Man

(Matthew 9:27–34)
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.
(Matthew 15:1–9)
1
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,”’” (d) 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.”

What Defiles a Man

(Matthew 15:10–20)
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!” (e)
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?” (f)
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.”

The Faith of the Gentile Woman

(Matthew 15:21–28)
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 childrens 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.

The Deaf and Mute Man

(Matthew 9:27–34)
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!”
