(August, 5-2016 on Friday)
Mark 7: 36 Jesus commanded them not to tell
anyone. But the more He did so, the more they kept talking about it. (9)
369
35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and
he began to speak plainly.
(8)

26 The
woman was a Greek, born in Syrian
Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon
out of her daughter. (8)
27 “First let the children eat all they want,” He told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to
the dogs.”
369
17 After
He had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples asked him about this
parable.
(8)
18 “Are you so dull?” He asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the
outside can defile them?
369
8 You
have let go of the Commands of GOD and are holding on to human traditions.”
(8)
9 And He continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the Commands of GOD in order to observe your own Traditions!
369
30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the
demon gone. (3)
Jesus Heals a Deaf
and Mute Man
31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of
Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of
the Decapolis.
32 There some people brought to Him a man who was deaf
and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place His hand
on him.
33 After He took him
aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put His fingers
into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.
34 He looked up to
heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be
opened!”).

21 For
it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—Sexual immorality, Theft, Murder,
(3)
22 Adultery, Greed, Malice, Deceit, Lewdness, Envy, Slander, Arrogance and Folly.
23 All these evils come from inside and defile a
person.”
Jesus Honors a
Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith
24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a
house and did not want anyone to know it; yet He could not keep His presence
secret.
25 In fact, as soon as
she heard about Him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure
spirit came and fell at His feet.

12 then
you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.
(3)
13 Thus you nullify the word of God
by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”
14 Again Jesus called
the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and
understand this.
15 Nothing outside a person can
defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that
defiles them.”

3 (The
Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial
washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.
(3)
4 When they come from
the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other
traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.)
5 So the Pharisees
and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t Your
disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their
food with defiled hands?”
6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he
prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
7 They worship Me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
7 They worship Me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
147
37 People
were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes
the Deaf Hear and the Mute Speak.” (1)
147
28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the
table eat the children’s crumbs.” (1)
29 Then He told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left
your daughter.”
258
19 For
it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the
body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared
all foods clean.) (1)
20 He went on: “What comes out of
a person is what defiles them.
258
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your
father and mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother
is to be put to death.’ (1)
11 But you say that if anyone
declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is
Corban (that is, Devoted to GOD)—

That Which Defiles
1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem
gathered around Jesus
(1)
2 and saw some of His disciples eating food with hands that were
defiled, that is, unwashed.
