The Diatessaron (Section 20)

[1] John 6:61 And Jesus knew within himself that his disciples were murmuring because of [2] that, and he said unto them, Doth this trouble you? John 6:62 What if you should see the Son [3] of man then ascend to the place where he was of old? John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickens, and the body profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you are spirit [4] and life. John 6:64 But there are some of you that do not believe. And Jesus knew beforehand who they were who should not believe, and who it was that should betray [5] him. John 6:65 And he said unto them, Therefore I said unto you, No man can come unto me, if that has not been given him by the Father.

[6] [Arabic, p. 78] John 6:66 And because of this word many of his disciples turned back and walked [7] not with him. John 6:67 And Jesus said unto the twelve, Do ye haply also wish to [8] go away? John 6:68 Simon Cephas answered and said, My Lord, to whom shall we go? You [9] have the words of eternal life. John 6:69 And we have believed and known that you are the [10] Messiah, the Son of the living God. John 6:70 Jesus said unto them, Did not I choose you, [11] ye company of the twelve, and of you one is a devil? John 6:71 He said that because of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot; for he, being of the twelve, was purposed to betray him.

[12] Luke 11:37 And while he was speaking, one of the Pharisees came asking of him that he [13] would eat with him: and he went in, and reclined to meat. Luke 11:38 And that Pharisee, when [14] he saw it, marvelled that he had not first cleansed himself before his eating. Luke 11:39 Jesus said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees wash the outside of the cup and the dish, and you think that you are cleansed; but your inside is full of injustice and wickedness.

[15, 16] Luke 11:40 You of little mind, did not he that made the outside make the inside? Luke 11:41 Now give what you have in alms, and everything shall be clean unto you.

[17, 18] Mark 7:1 And there came to him Pharisees and scribes, come from Jerusalem. Mark 7:2 And when they saw some of his disciples eating bread while they had not washed their hands, [19] they found fault. Mark 7:3 For all of the Jews and the Pharisees, if they wash not their [20] hands thoroughly, eat not; for they held to the ordinance of the elders. Mark 7:4 And they ate not what was bought from the market, except they washed it; and many other things did they keep of what they had received, such as the washing of cups, and [21] measures, and vessels of brass, and couches. Mark 7:5 And scribes and Pharisees asked him, [Arabic, p. 79] Why do your disciples not walk according to the ordinances of the elders, but [22] eat bread without washing their hands? Matthew 15:3 Jesus answered and said unto them, Why do ye also overstep the command of God by reason of your ordinance? [23] God said, Honour your father and your mother; and, Whosoever reviles his father and [24] his mother shall surely die. Mark 7:11 But ye say, If a man say to his father or to his mother, [25] What you receive from me is an offering,— Mark 7:12 and you suffer him not to do anything [26] for his father or his mother; Mark 7:13 and you make void and reject the word of God by reason of the ordinance that you have ordained and commanded, such as the washing [27] of cups and measures, and what resembles that you do much. Mark 7:8 And ye forsook [28] the command of God, and held to the ordinance of men. Mark 7:9 Do ye well to wrong [29] the command of God in order that you may establish your ordinance? Matthew 15:7 You hypocrites, well did Isaiah the prophet prophesy concerning you, and say,

[30] Matthew 15:8 This people honours me with its lips;
But their heart is very far from me.
[31] Matthew 15:9 But in vain do they fear me,
In that they teach the commands of men.

[32] Mark 7:14 And Jesus called all the multitude, and said unto them, Hear me, all of you, and [33] understand: Mark 7:15 nothing without the man, which then enters him, is able to defile him; [34] but what goes out of him, that it is which defiles the man. Mark 7:16 He that has ears [35] that hear, let him hear. Matthew 15:12 Then his disciples drew near, and said unto him, Do you know [36] that the Pharisees which heard this word were angry? Matthew 15:13 He answered and said unto them, Every plant which my Father which is in heaven planted not shall be [37] [Arabic, p. 80] uprooted. Matthew 15:14 Let them alone; for they are blind leading blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both of them shall fall into a hollow.

[38] And when Jesus entered the house from the multitude, Simon Cephas asked him, [39] and said unto him, My Lord, explain to us that parable. Mark 7:18b He said unto them, Do ye also thus not understand? Do you not know that everything that enters into the [40] man from without cannot defile him; Mark 7:19 because it enters not into his heart; it enters into his stomach only, and thence is cast forth in the cleansing which makes [41] clean all the food? Matthew 15:18 The thing which goes forth from the mouth of the man proceeds [42] from his heart, and it is that which defiles the man. Mark 7:21 From within the [43] heart of men proceed evil thoughts, Mark 7:22 fornication, adultery, theft, false witness, murder, injustice, wickedness, deceit, stupidity, evil eye, calumny, pride, foolishness: [44] Mark 7:23 these evils all of them from within proceed from the heart, and they are the things [45] which defile the man: Matthew 15:20b but if a man eat while he washes not his hands, he is not defiled.

[46] And Jesus went out thence, and came to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a certain house, and desired that no man should know it; and [47] he could not be hid. Mark 7:25a But straightway a Canaanitish woman, whose daughter had an [48, 49] unclean spirit, heard of him. Mark 7:26a And that woman was a Gentile of Emesa of Syria. Matthew 15:22b And she came out after him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy upon me, my Lord, you [50] son of David; for my daughter is seized in an evil way by Satan. Matthew 15:23 And he answered [Arabic, p. 81] her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, and said, Send [51] her away: for she cries after us. Matthew 15:24 He answered and said unto them, I was [52] not sent except to the sheep that are gone astray of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:25 But she came and worshipped him, and said, My Lord, help me, have mercy upon me.

[53] Matthew 15:26 Jesus said unto her, It is not seemly that the children's bread should be taken and [54] thrown to the dogs. Matthew 15:27 But she said, Yea, my Lord: the dogs also eat of the crumbs [55] that fall from their masters' tables, and live. Matthew 15:28a Then said Jesus unto her, O woman, [56] great is your faith: it shall be unto you as you have desired. Mark 7:29b Go then your way; and [57] because of this word, the devil is gone out of your daughter. Matthew 15:28b And her daughter was [58] healed in that hour. Mark 7:30 And that woman went away to her house, and found her daughter laid upon the bed, and the devil gone out of her.
