Mark 7:11 but you say, 'If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),'
Mark 7:12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;
Mark 7:13thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that."
Mark 7:14 ¶ After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:
Mark 7:15 there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.
Mark 7:16 ["If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."]
Mark 7:17 ¶ When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.
Mark 7:18 And He *said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,
Mark 7:19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)
Mark 7:20 And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.
Mark 7:21 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
Mark 7:22 deeds of coveting and wickedness, as wellas deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.
Mark 7:23 "All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."
Mark 7:24 ¶ Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice.
Mark 7:25 But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.
Mark 7:26 Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
Mark 7:27 And He was saying to her, "Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
Mark 7:28 But she answered and *said to Him, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs."
Mark 7:29 And He said to her, "Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
Mark 7:30 And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
