Mark

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;

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

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.

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.

And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children"s crumbs.

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.

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

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.

All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

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;

And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

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.

And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

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.

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

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.

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

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.
