Mark 7
1. The Pharisees find fault with the disciples for eating with unwashed hands.
8. They break the commandment of God by the traditions of men.
14. Food defiles not the man.
24. He heals the Syrophenician woman's daughter of an unclean spirit;
31. and one that was deaf, and stammered in his speech.














(26) A Greek--i.e., in the sense which the word had gained in Palestine, a Gentile, as in Romans 1:16; Romans 2:9-10. The modern use of "Frank" in the East for Europeans of every country, offers an analogous extension of the original meaning of a name.

Syrophenician.--The word, which occurs in Juvenal (Sat. viii. 159), may be noted as an instance of St. Mark's tendency to use Latin forms. The Emperor Adrian divided the province of Syria into three parts--Syria proper, Syro-Ph?nicia, and Syria-Palaestina--and we may well believe that this official distinction rested on a pre-existing nomenclature.
