hall be free.' And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father
or his mother; making the word of God of none effect through your
tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."

And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them:

"Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: there 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. If
any man have ears to hear, let him hear."

And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples
asked him concerning the parable. And he saith unto them:

"Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that

the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto
the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And
they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his
