Text for reading

15. What's left of mankind is that defiles, not what goes in it - Jesus called the crowd again, explained: "Hear me all ye, and understand. There is nothing outside of man, that entering into him can defile the, but what comes out of him that is what defiles a man. If anyone has ears to hear, hear." Then, when he left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this teaching. The Master then told them: "Do you not understand that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it enters your heart, but in the womb, and is cast out, purifying all foods?" E added: "What comes out of man that defiles the man. Because the interior of men's hearts come evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, dissolution, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evils come from within and defile a man." (Mark, 7:14 to 7:23.) 

16. Do not want to give the children's bread to the dogs - Withdrawing from there, Jesus went to the terms of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into the house, not wanting anyone to know it, but could not hide, because a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, went and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician nation, and asked him to expel the demon from her daughter that dominated. Jesus, however, he refused it, saying: "Let the children first quench, because you might not want to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs." She heard it, told him: "Yes, Lord, yet the dogs eat under the table, the children's crumbs." Jesus, who agrees with the observation made by her, said to him: "For this saying goes, the demon has left your daughter." In fact, when she came to her house, she found her daughter lying on the bed, free from the unclean spirit, who had already left. (Mark, 7:24 to 7:30.) 

17. A cure different in the country of Decapolis - The healing of the deaf in Decapolis, who also spoke with difficulty, was different from the others held by the Master. Jesus, taking him aside from the crowd, put his fingers in his ears and, spitting, touched his tongue. Then, raising his eyes to heaven, sighed and said Ephphatha, that is, opens up. The ears of the man immediately opened, and also broke down the prison of language, allowing him to return to speak perfectly. Jesus commanded him, so that nobody told you, but forbade him the more, the more people they made it public, saying, admired: Everything is good: it makes the deaf hear and the mute speak. (Mark, 7:33 to 7:37.

18. With seven loaves of the Lord feeds four thousand men - those days, seeing the large crowd that followed him had nothing to eat, Jesus called unto him his disciples and told them: "I have compassion on the crowd, because there are already three days with me, and not have to eat. And if you let them go fasting to their homes, they will faint on the way, because some of them came from afar." The disciples asked, "Where can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the desert?" But Jesus said to them: "How many loaves have you?" They said: "Seven." The GM then took the seven loaves, gave thanks, broke them and gave them to his disciples, so that the serve. They had a few small fishes, and given thanks, Jesus also commanded ly set before them, and everyone then ate and were filled up, and the fragments that remain, seven baskets, while those who ate were four thousand men . (Mark 8:1 to 8:9.)
