Mark 7:13-28
Konteks7:13 Thus you nullify 1 the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like this.”
7:14 Then 2 he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand. 7:15 There is nothing outside of a person that can defile him by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles him.”
7:16 [[EMPTY]] 37:17 Now 4 when Jesus 5 had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable. 7:18 He said to them, “Are you so foolish? Don’t you understand that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him? 7:19 For it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and then goes out into the sewer.” 6 (This means all foods are clean.) 7 7:20 He said, “What comes out of a person defiles him. 7:21 For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder, 7:22 adultery, greed, evil, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, and folly. 7:23 All these evils come from within and defile a person.”
7:24 After Jesus 8 left there, he went to the region of Tyre. 9 When he went into a house, he did not want anyone to know, but 10 he was not able to escape notice. 7:25 Instead, a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit 11 immediately heard about him and came and fell at his feet. 7:26 The woman was a Greek, of Syrophoenician origin. She 12 asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 7:27 He said to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and to throw it to the dogs.” 13 7:28 She answered, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
