Mark 7

37 verses

King James Version

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,
7 Mais c'est en vain qu'ils m'honorent, enseignant des doctrines qui sont des commandements d'hommes.
8 Car, en abandonnant le commandement de Dieu, vous observez la tradition des hommes, lavant les pots et les coupes, et faisant beaucoup d'autres choses semblables.
9 And he said unto them,
10 Car Moïse a dit: Honore ton père et ta mère; et que celui qui maudira son père ou sa mère soit puni de mort;
11 Mais vous, vous ajoutez: A moins qu'il n'ait dit à son père ou à sa mère: Tout ce dont je pourrais t'assister est corban, c'est-à-dire, un don consacré à Dieu.
12 Et vous ne lui permettez plus de rien faire pour son père ou pour sa mère;
13 Anéantissant la parole de Dieu par votre tradition, que vous avez établie; et vous faites beaucoup d'autres choses semblables.
14 ¶ And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them,
15 Rien de ce qui est hors de l'homme et qui entre en lui, ne le peut souiller; mais ce qui sort de lui, voilà ce qui souille l'homme.
16 Si quelqu'un a des oreilles pour entendre, qu'il entende.
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,
19 Parce que cela ne lui entre point dans le cœur, mais dans le ventre, et va aux lieux secrets, ce qui purifie tous les aliments.
20 And he said,
21 Car du dedans, c'est-à-dire, du cœur des hommes, sortent les mauvaises pensées, les adultères, les fornications, les meurtres,
22 Les larcins, la cupidité, les méchancetés, la fraude, l'impudicité, l'œil envieux, la médisance, la fierté, la folie.
23 Tous ces vices sortent du dedans et souillent l'homme.
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,
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,
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, 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.
