The Book of Mark 7 |
The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) |
Mark 7:1 | And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem. |
Mark 7:2 | And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. |
Mark 7:3 | For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients: |
Mark 7:4 | And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds. |
Mark 7:5 | And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands? |
Mark 7:6 | But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. |
Mark 7:7 | And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men. |
Mark 7:8 | For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these. |
Mark 7:9 | And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition. |
Mark 7:10 | For Moses said: Honor thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die. |
Mark 7:11 | But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift,) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee. |
Mark 7:12 | And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother, |
Mark 7:13 | Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do. |
Mark 7:14 | And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand. |
Mark 7:15 | There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man. |
Mark 7:16 | If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. |
Mark 7:17 | And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable. |
Mark 7:18 | And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him: |
Mark 7:19 | Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats? |
Mark 7:20 | But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man. |
Mark 7:21 | For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, |
Mark 7:22 | Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. |
Mark 7:23 | All these evil things come from within, and defile a man. |
Mark 7:24 | And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid. |
Mark 7:25 | For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet. |
Mark 7:26 | For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. |
Mark 7:27 | Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs. |
Mark 7:28 | But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children. |
Mark 7:29 | And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter. |
Mark 7:30 | And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out. |

Mark 7:34 | And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened. |
Mark 7:35 | And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right. |

Mark 7:37 | And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. |
