Mark 7

Gen Z: Mark 7

1The Pharisees and some scribes pulled up on Him from Jerusalem, no cap.

2They peeped some of His squad munching bread with dirty hands and were like, "Sus."

3The Pharisees and all the Jews won’t eat unless they wash their hands first, keeping it old school.

4When they come back from the market, they gotta wash up, or no food for them. They got a whole list of rules, like washing cups and pots.

5The Pharisees and scribes were like, "Why don’t your crew follow the old traditions and eat with clean hands?"

6He hit them with, "Isaiah was totally right about you fakes; you honor me with your words, but your hearts are miles away."

7They’re just vibing in vain, teaching human rules instead of the real deal.

8You ditch God’s commandments to hold onto your own traditions, like washing pots and cups, and it’s kind of wild.

9He said, "You’re doing great at rejecting God’s rules to keep your own traditions, fr."

10Moses said, "Respect your parents," and if you curse them, you’re out for real.

11But y'all say, if a dude tells his fam, "It's Corban," meaning a gift, he can just bounce.

12And you let him dip on doing anything for his parents; that's sus.

13You're making God's word useless with your traditions, which you've passed down; that’s just savage.

14Then he called everyone over and was like, "Listen up, fam, and get this."

15Nothing outside a dude can mess him up; it's what comes out that’s the real tea.

16If you got ears, fam, you better listen.

17When he got back inside, his crew asked him about the parable, like, "What’s good?"

18He was like, "Y’all still not getting it? Anything that comes from outside can't mess you up."

19It doesn’t hit the heart, just the stomach, and then it exits, cleaning out all the food.

20He said, "What comes outta a man, that’s what messes him up."

21From deep inside, straight from the heart, come all these sus thoughts, cheating, hookups, and even murders, fr.

22Thievery, jealousy, wicked vibes, deceit, wild behavior, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and just plain foolishness:

23All these bad vibes come from within and totally mess up a person.

24Then he bounced to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, hit up a house, and wanted to keep it on the low, but he couldn’t stay hidden.

25A woman, whose young daughter had a nasty spirit, heard about him and came to him, falling at his feet like, "Help me!"

26She was Greek, a Syrophenician, and she was begging him to kick that devil out of her daughter.

27But Jesus was like, "Chill, let the kids eat first; it ain't right to take their bread and throw it to the dogs."

28She replied, "For sure, Lord: but even the dogs under the table get to munch on the kids' crumbs."

29He said, "Because of that reply, you can bounce; the devil's outta your daughter."

30When she got home, she found the devil gone and her daughter chilling on the bed, all good.

31So he dipped out from Tyre and Sidon, cruised to the sea of Galilee, hitting up the Decapolis vibes.

32They brought a dude who couldn’t hear and had some speech issues, begging him to lay hands and fix it.

33He pulled him aside from the crowd, stuck his fingers in his ears, spat, and touched his tongue; that’s some wild stuff.

34He looked up to heaven, sighed, and said, “Ephphatha,” which means, “Open up!”

35Right away, his ears popped open, his tongue was free, and he started talking like a champ.

36He told them to keep it on the down-low, but the more he said that, the more they spread the word; no cap.

37They were shook, saying, “He’s done everything fire: making the deaf hear and the mute speak, fr.”

KJV: Mark 7

1Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

2And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

3For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

4And 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.

5Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

6He 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.

7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

8For 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.

9And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

10For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

14And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

15There 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.

16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

17And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

18And 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;

19Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

20And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

24And 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.

25For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

27But 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.

28And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.

29And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

30And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

31And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

32And 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.

33And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

34And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

36And 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;

37And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
