He heals the Syrophenician woman's daughter of an unclean spirit; 31. and one that was deaf, and stammered in his speech. greed Greed, or covetousness, is a desire for more than what is needed or deserved, often at the expense of others. Biblically, it is condemned as idolatry (Colossians 3:5) because it places material wealth above God. In the cultural context of the time, wealth was often seen as a sign of divine favor, yet Jesus challenges this notion by highlighting the spiritual danger of greed (Luke 12:15). wickedness deceit debauchery envy slander arrogance foolishness Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe central figure in the Gospel of Mark, who is teaching about what truly defiles a person. 2. Pharisees and Scribes Religious leaders who questioned Jesus about His disciples not following traditional ceremonial washings. 3. Disciples Followers of Jesus who are being taught about the nature of true defilement. 4. Crowd The people who were present and listening to Jesus' teaching. 5. Gennesaret The region where Jesus and His disciples were when this teaching took place. Teaching Points The Source of DefilementJesus teaches that defilement comes from within, from the heart, not from external factors. This challenges us to examine our inner thoughts and motivations. The Nature of Sin The sins listed in Mark 7:22 are diverse, covering attitudes, speech, and actions. This reminds us that sin can manifest in various aspects of our lives. Guarding the Heart Proverbs 4:23 advises us to guard our hearts, as it is the wellspring of life. We must be vigilant in monitoring what influences our hearts and minds. Repentance and Transformation Recognizing these sins in our lives should lead us to repentance and seeking transformation through the Holy Spirit. Community Accountability Engaging in a community of believers can help us stay accountable and encourage one another to live righteously.(22) Covetousness, wickedness.--The Greek words for these are, like the preceding, in the plural, as pointing to the manifold forms in which the sins show themselves. An evil eye.--As explained by Matthew 20:15 (where see Note), the "evil eye" is that which looks askance on the good of others--i.e., envy in its most malignant form. Pride.--Better, perhaps, haughtiness. This is the only passage in the New Testament where the word so translated occurs. The cognate adjective meets us in Romans 1:30; 2Timothy 3:2. Foolishness.--This, again, is a rare word in the New Testament, meeting us only in 2Corinthians 11:1; 2Corinthians 11:17; 2Corinthians 11:21. As interpreted by Proverbs 14:18; Proverbs 15:21, it is the folly which consists in the absence of the fear of God, the infatuation of impiety. . . .
