7:1  The Pharisees and the Scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him.
7:2  And they saw some of his disciples eating bread when they had not washed their hands, and they found fault.
7:3  For all the Judeans and the Pharisees do not eat unless they wash their hands carefully because they keep the tradition of the Elders.
7:4  And coming from the marketplace, unless they bathe, they do not eat. And there are many other things which they had received to keep: washings of cups and pots and copper vessels and of beds.
7:5  And the Scribes and Pharisees asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the Elders, but eat bread without having washed their hands?”
7:6  But he said to them, “Isaiah the Prophet prophesied beautifully of you impostors, just as it is written: 'This people honors me with its lips, but their heart is very far from Me.'
7:7  'And in vain they pay reverence to me as they teach doctrines of commandments of the sons of men.'
7:8  “You forsake the commandments of God and you keep the traditions of the sons of men: washings of cups and pots and many such things like these.”
7:9  He said to them, “Well you reject the commandment of God that you may establish your traditions.”
7:10  For Moses said, “Honor your father and your mother”, and “Whoever reviles father and mother shall die the death.”
7:11  But you say, “If a man shall say to his father or to his mother, 'My offering is anything that you shall gain from me.'
7:12  Then you do not allow him to do anything for his father or his mother.
7:13  And you reject the word of God for the traditions that you deliver, and many things like these you do.”
7:14  And Yeshua called to all the crowds, and he said to them, “Hear me all of you and understand.”
7:15  “There is nothing outside of a man that enters into him that can defile him, but the thing that proceeds from him, that is what defiles the man.”
7:16  “Whoever has an ear to hear, let him hear.”
7:17  But when Yeshua entered the house from the crowds, his disciples asked him about that parable.
7:18  He said to them, “Are you also stupid? Do you not know that nothing entering from outside a man can defile him?”
7:19  “Because it does not enter his heart, but his belly, and is discharged by excretion, which purifies all foods.”
7:20  “But the thing that proceeds from a man, that defiles the man.”
7:21  “For from within the heart of the children of men proceed evil ideas, adultery, fornication, theft, murder.”
7:22  “Greed, wickedness, deceit, harlotry, an evil eye, blasphemy, boasting, senselessness.”
7:23  “All these evils proceed from within and defile a man.”
7:24  Yeshua arose from there and came to the coast of Tyre and of Sidon, and he entered a certain house and he did not want anyone to know him and he could not be hidden.
7:25  For immediately a certain woman heard about him, whose daughter had a foul spirit, and she came falling before his feet.
7:26  But she was a pagan woman from Phoenicia of Syria, and she was begging him to cast out the demon from her daughter.
7:27  And Yeshua said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”
7:28  But she answered and said to him, “Yes, my lord, but even the dogs from under the table eat the children's crumbs.”
7:29  Yeshua said to her, “Go; because of this saying the demon has gone out from your daughter.”
7:30  And she went to her house and found her daughter lying in bed, and the demon had been cast out of her.
7:31  Yeshua again went out from the coast of Tyre and Sidon, and he came to the Sea of Galilee at the border of The Ten Cities.
7:32  And they brought him a certain deaf man who was dumb and they begged him to lay hands upon him.
7:33  And he took him aside from the crowd alone and put his fingers in his ears and spat and he touched his tongue.
7:34  And he gazed into Heaven and he groaned and he said to him, “Be opened.”
7:35  And at that moment his ears were opened and a bond of his tongue was released and he spoke distinctly.
7:36  And he warned them not to tell anyone, and as much as he warned them, they all the more proclaimed it.
7:37  And they were greatly astonished, and they were saying, “He has done everything beautifully; he has made the deaf to hear and him who was mute to speak.”
