Mark 7:13-30 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

13. making void the word of God with your tradition that you’ve handed down. And you do many such things.”

14. Then Yeshua called the crowd again and began saying to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and understand.

15. There is nothing outside the man that can make him unholy by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of the man that makes the man unholy.”

16. [footnote: Some mss. Add: If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.]

17. When He had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.

18. And He said to them, “Are you then also lacking understanding? Don’t you grasp that whatever goes into the man cannot make him unholy?

19. For it does not enter into the heart but into the stomach, and then goes out into the sewer, cleansing all foods.”

20. And He continued, “It is what comes out of the man that makes the man unholy.

21. For from within, out of the heart of men, come evil intentions, sexual immorality, theft, murder,

22. adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustfulness, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.

23. All these evil things come from within and make the man unholy.”

24. Yeshua got up and left from there to the region of Tyre. When He had entered a house, He didn’t want anyone to know; but He couldn’t escape notice.

25. A woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him. She came immediately and fell at His feet.

26. The woman was a Greek, from Syrophoenicia. And she kept begging Yeshua to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27. He was telling her, “First let the children get their fill, for it’s not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

28. “Yes, Master,” she said to Him, “but even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29. Then He said to her, “Because of this word, go your way! The demon has left your daughter.”

30. She went home and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
