Tradition and Commandment

(Mar 7:1–23 )

Then some Pharisees and scribes *came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:2 - “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:3 - And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves also break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:4 - “For God said, ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,’ and, ‘THE ONE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO [fn]BE PUT TO DEATH.’
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:5 - “But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been [fn]given to God,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:6 - he is not to [fn]honor his father or mother.’ And by this you have invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:7 - “You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you, by saying:
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:8 -

‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS,

BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

‘AND IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,

TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.’”

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:10 -

After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand!

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:11 - It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:12 -

Then the disciples came and *said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were [fn]offended when they heard this statement?”

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:13 - But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:14 - “Leave them alone; they are blind guides [fn]of blind people. And if a person who is blind guides another who is blind, both will fall into a pit.”

The Heart of Mankind

Peter [fn]said to Him, “Explain the parable to us.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:16 - [fn]Jesus said, “Are you also still lacking in understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:17 - “Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is [fn]eliminated?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:18 - “But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:19 - “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, and [fn]slanderous statements.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:20 - “These are the things that defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person.”

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:25 - But she came and began [fn]to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:26 - Yet He answered and said, “It is not [fn]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:27 - And she said, “Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:28 - Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed [fn]at once.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:35 - And He directed the [fn]people to [fn]sit down on the ground;
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 15:36 - and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and after giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
