The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him,
and they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands—that is, unwashed.
For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands ritually, holding to the tradition of the elders;
and when they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. There are many other traditions they keep as well: the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and dining couches.
So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?"
He said to them, "Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.'
'Their worship of me is empty, for they teach as doctrine the commandments of men.'
And he said to them, "How neatly you set aside the commandment of God in order to maintain your own tradition!
For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever curses father or mother must be put to death.'
But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might have received from me is Corban'—that is, an offering to God—
then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.
So you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do many other things like this."
Then he called the crowd to him again and said, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand:
nothing outside a person can defile him by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles him."
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.
He said to them, "Are you also without understanding? Don't you see that nothing entering a person from outside can defile him,
since it does not go into his heart but into his stomach, and then passes out of the body?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
And he said, "It is what comes out of a person that defiles him.
For from within, out of the human heart, come evil thoughts: sexual immorality, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, arrogance, folly.
All these evils come from within, and they defile a person."
From there he set out for the region of Tyre. He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but he could not escape notice.
For at once a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.
The woman was a Greek, Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
He said to her, "Let the children be fed first. It isn't right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
But she answered him, "Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
Then he told her, "For saying that, you may go. The demon has left your daughter."
She went home and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Then he left the region of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the region of the Decapolis.
There they brought him a man who was deaf and could hardly speak, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.
Jesus took him aside, away from the crowd, put his fingers into the man's ears, then spit and touched his tongue.
He looked up to heaven, sighed deeply, and said to him, "Ephphatha!"—that is, "Be opened!"
At once the man's ears were opened, his tongue was set free, and he began to speak clearly.
Jesus ordered them to tell no one, but the more he ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
People were utterly astonished and said, "He has done everything well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
