52
For they considered not
the miracle
of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
53
And when they
had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
54
And when they
were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
55
And ran through that whole region round
about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
56
And
whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and
besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched
him were made whole.
CHAPTER 7
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2
And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen,
hands, they found fault.
3
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash
their
hands oft, eat
not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4
And
when they come
from the market, except they wash,
they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold,
as
the washing of
cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk
not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6
He
answered and said unto them,
Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This
people honoureth me with
their
lips, but their heart is far from me.
7
Howbeit in vain do they
worship me, teaching
for
doctrines the commandments of men.
8
For laying aside the commandment
of God, ye hold the tradition of men,
as
the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like
things ye do.
9
And he said unto them,
Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may
keep your own tradition.
10
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth
father or mother, let him die the death:
11
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother,
It
is
Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
he shall be free.
12
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13
Making the word of God
of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14
And when he had called all the people
unto him,
he said unto them,
Hearken unto me every
one
of you,
and understand:
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.
16
If any man
have ears to hear, let him hear.
17
And when he was entered into the house from the people, his
disciples asked him concerning the parable.
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;
19
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into
the draught, purging all meats?
20
And he said,
That which cometh out of the man, that defileth
the man.
21
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,
