Mark 7:18-37
18And He saidG3004 to them, “Are you soG3779 lackingG801 in understandingG801 alsoG2532? Do you not understandG3539 that whateverG3956 goesG1531 into the manG444 from outsideG1855 cannotG1410G3756 defileG2840 him, 19becauseG3754 it does not goG1531 into his heartG2588, but into his stomachG2836, and 1is eliminatedG1519G856G1607?” (Thus He declaredG2511 2allG3956 foodsG1033 3cleanG2511.) 20And He was sayingG3004, “4That which proceedsG1607 out of the manG444, that is what defilesG2840 the manG444. 21For from withinG2081, out of the heartG2588 of menG444, proceedG1607 the evilG2556 thoughtsG1261, 5fornicationsG4202, theftsG2829, murdersG5408, adulteriesG3430, 22deedsG4124 of covetingG4124 and wickednessG4189, as well as deceitG1388, sensualityG766, 67envyG3788G4190, slanderG988, 8prideG5243 and foolishnessG877. 23AllG3956 theseG3778 evilG4190 thingsG4190 proceedG1607 from withinG2081 and defileG2840 the manG444.”
249Jesus gotG450 up and wentG565 awayG565 from thereG1564 to the regionG3725 of 10TyreG518411. And when He had enteredG1525 a houseG3614, He wantedG2309 noG3762 oneG3762 to knowG1097 of it; 12yetG2532 He couldG1410 not escapeG2990 noticeG2990. 25But after hearingG191 of Him, a womanG1135 whoseG3739 littleG2365 daughterG2365 hadG2192 an uncleanG169 spiritG4151 immediatelyG2117 cameG2064 and fellG4363 at His feetG4228. 26NowG1161 the womanG1135 was a 13GentileG1674, of the SyrophoenicianG4949 raceG1085. And she kept askingG2065 Him to castG1544 the demonG1140 out of her daughterG2364. 27And He was sayingG3004 to her, “LetG863 the childrenG5043 be satisfiedG5526 firstG4413, for it is not 14goodG2570 to takeG2983 the children’sG5043 breadG740 and throwG906 it to the dogsG2952.” 28But she answeredG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “YesG3483, LordG2962, but evenG2532 the dogsG2952 underG5270 the tableG5132 feedG2068 on the children’sG3813 crumbsG5589.” 29And He saidG3004 to her, “BecauseG1223 of thisG3778 15answerG3056 goG5217; the demonG1140 has goneG1831 out of your daughterG2364.” 30And goingG565 backG565 to her homeG3624, she foundG2147 the childG3813 16lyingG906 on the bedG2825, the demonG1140 having leftG1831.
3117AgainG3825 He wentG1831 out from the regionG3725 of 18TyreG5184, and cameG2064 throughG1223 SidonG4605 to 19the SeaG2281 of GalileeG1056, withinG303G3319 the regionG3725 of 20DecapolisG1179. 32They broughtG5342 to Him oneG2974 whoG2974 was deafG2974 and spokeG3424 with difficultyG3424, and they imploredG3870 Him to 21layG2007 His handG5495 on him. 3322Jesus tookG618 him asideG618 from the crowdG3793, by himselfG2398, and putG906 His fingersG1147 into his earsG3775, and after 23spittingG4429, He touchedG681 his tongueG1100 with the saliva; 34and lookingG308 up to heavenG3772 with a deepG4727 24sighG4727, He saidG3004 to him, “EphphathaG2188!” that is, “Be openedG1272!” 35And his earsG189 were openedG455, and the 25impedimentG1199 of his tongueG1100 26was removedG3089, and he began speakingG2980 plainlyG3723. 36And 27He gaveG1291 them ordersG1291 not to tellG3004 anyoneG3367; but the moreG3745 He orderedG1291 them, the moreG3123 widelyG4053 they 28continued to proclaimG2784 it. 37They were utterlyG5249 astonishedG1605, sayingG3004, “He has doneG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 wellG2573; He makesG4160 evenG2532 the deafG2974 to hearG191 and the muteG216 to speakG2980.”
