Mark 7

Pharisees and scribes criticize the disciples for eating with unwashen hands. Jesus answers that human tradition can make God’s word of none effect and teaches that defilement comes from the heart. He then travels into Gentile territory, responds to a Syrophenician woman’s faith, delivers her daughter, and heals a deaf man with a speech impediment.
