Mark 7:11-32

¹¹But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free .

¹²And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother;

¹³Making the word of God of no effect through your traditions, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

¹⁴And when he had called all the people to him , he said to them, Hearken to me every one of you , and understand.

¹⁵There 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.

¹⁶If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁷And when he had entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

¹⁸And he saith to them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him.

¹⁹Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all kinds of food.

²⁰And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²²Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness;

²³All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

²⁴And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house, and would have no man know it : but he could not be hid.

²⁵For 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 demon out of her daughter.

²⁷But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the dogs.

²⁸And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crums.

²⁹And he said to her, For this saying, depart; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

³⁰And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

³¹And again, departing from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

³²And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
