Mark 7:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 7:12

10 For Moses said, ^a‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ^b‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’

11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, ^a“Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God),

12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,

13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”

14 ^aWhen He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and ^bunderstand:

15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that ^adefile a man.

16 ^aIf anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

17 ^aWhen He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.

18 So He said to them, ^a“Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated,¹ thus purifying all foods?”

20 And He said, ^a“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.

21 ^aFor from within, out of the heart of men, ^bproceed evil thoughts, ^cadulteries, ^dfornications, murders,

22 thefts, ^acovetousness, wickedness, ^bdeceit, ^clewdness, an evil eye, ^dblasphemy, ^epride, foolishness.

23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”

A Gentile Shows Her Faith

24 ^aFrom there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be ^bhidden.

25 For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and ^afell at His feet.
