MARK 7:14-37
7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken 
unto me every one of you, and understand:
7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile 
him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
7:17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples 
asked him concerning the parable.
7:18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not 
perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot 
defile him;
7:19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out 
into the draught, purging all meats?
7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, 
adulteries, fornications, murders,
7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, 
blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
7:24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and 
entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of 
him, and came and fell at his feet:
7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him 
that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not 
meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
7:28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the 
table eat of the children's crumbs.
7:29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of 
thy daughter.
7:30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her 
daughter laid upon the bed.
7:31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the 
sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
7:32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his 
speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
7:33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his 
ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
7:34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that 
is, Be opened.
7:35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was 
loosed, and he spake plain.
7:36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged 
them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
7:37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: 
he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
