Mark 7 summary points

  • v 1 to 13 The Pharisees try to belittle Jesus because he doesn’t keep their Jewish traditions. Jesus tells them (and us) to regard  God's message in the Old Testament as more important than traditions
  • v 14 to 23 Jesus uses this occasion to teach that what is important is what goes on in a person’s mind. He warns that we are naturally inclined to bad ways
  • v 24 to 37 After she shows her humility and great faith, Jesus heals a Greek woman's daughter and then a deaf man who has an impediment in his speech
