Meditating
on the Scriptures Together
Morning:
Mark 7:1-23
[1]
Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who
had come from Jerusalem, [2] they saw that some of his disciples ate
with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. [3] (For the
Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands
properly, holding to the tradition of the elders, [4] and when they
come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And
there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the
washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.) [5]
And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples
not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with
defiled hands?”
[6]
And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites,
as it is written,
“‘This
people honors me with their lips,
but
their heart is far from me;
[7]
in vain do they worship me,
teaching
as doctrines the commandments of men.’
[8]
You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”
[9] And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the
commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! [10] For
Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever
reviles father or mother must surely die.’ [11] But 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)—[12] then
you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,
[13] thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have
handed down. And many such things you do.”
[14]
And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me,
all of you, and understand: [15] There 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.” [17] And when he had entered the
house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
[18] And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding?
Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot
defile him, [19] since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and
is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) [20] And he said,
“What comes out of a person is what defiles him. [21] For from
within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual
immorality, theft, murder, adultery, [22] coveting, wickedness,
deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. [23] All these
evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
