Mark 第7章
Traditions and Commandments
17:1 For ver. 1-30, see Matt. 15:1-28Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes 7:1 ch. 3:22who had come from Jerusalem,
2they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were 7:2 [Acts 10:14; Rom. 14:14 (Gk.)]defiled, that is, unwashed.
3(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly,7:3 Greek unless they wash the hands with a fist, probably indicating a kind of ceremonial washing holding to 7:3 Gal. 1:14; Col. 2:8the tradition of 7:3 Heb. 11:2the elders,
4and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash.7:4 Greek unless they baptize; some manuscripts unless they purify themselves And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as 7:4 Heb. 9:10; [John 2:6] the washing of 7:4 Matt. 23:25; Luke 11:39cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.7:4 Some manuscripts omit and dining couches)
5And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to 7:5 [See ver. 3above] the tradition of 7:5 [See ver. 3above] the elders, 7:5 Luke 11:38but eat with 7:5 [See ver. 2above]defiled hands?”
7:6 Cited from Isa. 29:13; [Ezek. 33:31]“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
7in vain do they worship me,
8You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”
9And he said to them, “You have a fine way of 7:9 Luke 7:30; Gal. 2:21 (Gk.); Heb. 10:28 (Gk.)rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!
10For Moses said, 7:10 Cited from Ex. 20:12‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, 7:10 Cited from Ex. 21:17‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’
11But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God)7:11 Or an offering—
12then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,
What Defiles a Person
14And he called the people to him again and said to them, 7:14 Matt. 13:51“Hear me, all of you, and understand:
157:15 See Acts 10:14, 15There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.”7:15 Some manuscripts add verse 16: If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear
17And when he had entered 7:17 ch. 9:28the house and left the people, 7:17 [Matt. 13:36; 15:15]his disciples asked him about the parable.
18And he said to them, “Then 7:18 ch. 8:17, 18are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,
19since it enters not his heart 7:19 [1 Cor. 6:13] but his stomach, and is expelled?”7:19 Greek goes out into the latrine (7:19 [Luke 11:41; Acts 10:15; 11:9]Thus he declared all foods clean.)
21For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, 7:21 Matt. 5:22, 28; See Ex. 20:13, 14, 17murder, adultery,
22coveting, wickedness, deceit, 7:22 2 Cor. 12:21; Gal. 5:19; Eph. 4:19; 2 Pet. 2:7; Jude 4sensuality, 7:22 See Matt. 6:23 (Gk.) envy, 7:22 Eph. 4:31; Col. 3:8; 1 Tim. 6:4slander, 7:22 See Luke 1:51pride, 7:22 [Eph. 5:17]foolishness.
The Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith
24And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.7:24 Some manuscripts omit and Sidon And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden.
25But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet.
267:26 [John 12:20, 21] Now the woman was a 7:26 [1 Cor. 12:13] Gentile, 7:26 [Acts 21:2, 3]a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27And he said to her, “Let the children be 7:27 [Acts 3:26; Rom. 1:16] fed first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and 7:27 Matt. 7:6throw it to the dogs.”
28But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s 7:28 [Luke 16:21]crumbs.”
29And he said to her, “For this statement you may 7:29 John 4:50go your way; the demon has left your daughter.”
30And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
Jesus Heals a Deaf Man
317:31 For ver. 31-37, [Matt. 15:29-31] Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to 7:31 Matt. 4:18; John 6:1the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the 7:31 ch. 5:20; Matt. 4:25Decapolis.
32And they brought to him 7:32 Isa. 35:5, 6a man who was deaf and 7:32 Isa. 35:5, 6had a speech impediment, and they begged him to 7:32 See ch. 5:23lay his hand on him.
33And 7:33 ch. 8:23taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and 7:33 ch. 8:23after spitting touched his tongue.
34And 7:34 See ch. 6:41looking up to heaven, 7:34 ch. 8:12; [John 11:33]he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”
36And 7:36 ch. 9:9; See Matt. 8:4Jesus7:36 Greek he charged them to tell no one. But 7:36 ch. 1:45; Matt. 9:31the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.
