JESUS TEACHES ABOUT INNER PURITY MARK 7 7 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. (The Bible tells us 15 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress (Transgression of men; had developed rituals and was not God s law; wasn t holy but make ritual out of it and claim it it s from God.) the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me (Lip service only.). 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. Matthew 15:1-20) 2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. (The Bible tells us 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. Luke 11:38)
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft (In a special way.), eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. (Traditions of men that were not good that was contrary to the Law of God.) (The Bible tells us 14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. Galatians 1:14) (The Bible tells us 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2:8) 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. (Doesn t mean we shouldn t be clean; anytime we elevate to something says to holiness is wrong.) (When we lift up man; we change doctrine; rely on our own understanding.) 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 (Didn t say what God says; not what Mr. so and so says.)? 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. (The Bible tells us 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Isaiah 13:13) (The Bible tells us 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:16) (If this is what your are doing-elevating your thoughts to holiness.) 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (They do not honor me; I didn t endorse man-made doctrines.) 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 (The Bible tells us 4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. (If you will my people and walk in all my ways; I will be your God and you shall be my people.) 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: (The Bible tells us 12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Exodus 20:12) (The Bible tells us 17 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. Exodus
21:17) (The Bible tells us 19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity. Leviticus 20:19) (The Bible tells us 16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Deuteronomy 5:16) (The Bible tells us 20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. Proverbs 20:20) (The Bible tells us 8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. I Timothy 5:8) 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban (A gift from God; immediately right and wrong.), that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. (The Bible tells us 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. Leviticus 1:2 (Sacrifice meant bring himself to totally to God; totally submissive; sacrifice represented himself; the animal was physical; the intent was of the sacrifice was spiritual; the two go together.) 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; (The Bible tells us 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. Leviticus 1:2) 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. (A way of life of dumb sheep; don t follow.) 14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: (They don t get it.) 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. (The Bible tells us 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean (Thinking physical, flesh and blood.). 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. (The people that believe the false doctrine stop and eater pork and unclean things.) Acts 10:14-15) (The Bible tells us 8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. I Corinthians 8:8) (The Bible tells us 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. I Timothy 4:4-5)
6 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. (The Bible tells us 2 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. Mark 2:1-2) (The Bible tells us 20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. Mark 3:20) (The Bible tells us 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? Mark 9:28) 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? (The Bible tells us 41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. Luke 11:41) (The Bible tells us 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Acts 10:15) (The Bible tells us 9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Acts 11:9) 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. (The Bible tells us 14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. 4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. 5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind (It is the Lord who decides what is right or wrong.). 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks (Judging causes division in a church; not differerences of opinion.). 7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess to God. 12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:1-12) (The Bible tells us 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Colossians 2:16) 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, (The Bible tells us 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Galatians 5:19-20) (The Bible tells us 15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Titus 1:15) 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. (Care about the weightier matters of the Law of God.) JESUS MINISTRY BEYOND GALILEE 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. (The Bible tells us 21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me (That s My church, My people and My wife; God doesn t take the truth to the whole world.). 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. Matthew 15:21-28) 25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: (Even thou not Israelites; His children knew of the miracles of His Prophet.) 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.
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. (The Bible tells us 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 10:5-6) (The Bible tells us 46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. 47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. 48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Acts 13:46-48) (The Bible tells us 4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption (Sonship of God.), and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 9:4-5) (The Bible tells us 11 Wherefore remember, that ye (Ephesians) being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Ephesians 2:11-12) 28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. (The Bible tells us 27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. Matthew 9:27) 30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daught laid upon the bed. (The Bible tells us 44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. Joshua 21:44-45) THE CROWD MARVELS AT JESUS HEALING 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. (The Bible tells us 29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30 And great multitudes
came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: 31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. Matthew 15:29-31) 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. 33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue (Not interested in a big show.); (The Bible tells us 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. Mark 8:23) (The Bible tells us 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, John 9:8) 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. (The Bible tells us 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart (deer), and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. Isaiah 35:5-7) (The Bible tells us 5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. Matthew 11:5) (The Bible tells us 41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. Mark 6:41) (The Bible tells us 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. John 11:41) (The Bible tells us 17 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: John 17:1) 35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. 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; (The Bible tells us 43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat (Showing concern-been sick-give her real food; mercy!!! Even in a time of great commotion still thinking of care). Mark 5:43)
37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb (mute) to speak. MEMORY VERSE And he (JESUS) took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. Mark 8:23 BELOW IS THE SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON FOR TOTS
THE CROWD MARVELS AT JESUS HEALING AND THEY BRING TO HIM ONE THAT WAS DEAF, AND AND HAD IMPEDIMENT IN HIS SPEECH; AND THEY PUT HIS HAND UPON HIM. AND HE TOOK FROM THE MULTITUDE, AND PUT HIS FINGERS IN HIS EARS AND HE SPIT, AND TOUCHED HIS TONGUE. AND STRAIGHWAY HIS EARS WERE OPENED, AND THE STRING OF HIS TONGUE WAS LOOSED, AND HE SPAKE PLAIN. HE (JESUS) THEM THAT THEY SHOULD TELL KNOW NO MAN: BUT THE MORE HE CHARGED THEM, SO MUCH SO MUCH THE MORE A GREAT DEAL THEY PUBLISHED IT; AND WERE BEYOND MEASURE ASTONISHED, SAYING HE DONE ALL THINGS WELL: HE MAKETH THE DEAF TO HERE AND THE DUMB (MUTE) TO SPEAK.
