My study and observation of Mark 7. Jesus and His disciples are eating with unwashed hands and the Pharisees and scribes try to find fault in it. They were holding the tradition of people, such as the washing of pots and cups. Jesus makes it clear that the things that come out of the mouth (the words) are what makes a person unclean, not the food that goes into it. What enters into the belly does not enter into the heart. From our hearts comes evil thoughts. Mark 7:22-23 says, “Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
M’r:7:23: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Jesus heals a young woman’s daughter that is demon possessed. Mark 7:30 says, “And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.”. Mark 7:37 says, “And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.” So this verse tells us that they were amazed by the healing Jesus did. Praise God. Amen.
