Mark 7
1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,
3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.
(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;
4 They do not eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)
and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),
5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do not your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”
then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?
6 He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.
7 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.
8 “For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”
[For], leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men [to keep] — washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.
9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves [to keep].
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.
11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,
But ye say, If a man say to his father or his mother, [It is] corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by...
12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;
13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.
14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:
15 There is nothing from outside of the man that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.
There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.
16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Do not you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,
And he says to them, Are ye also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;
23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.
24 From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know [it], and he could not be hid.
25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
31 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis.
And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.
And they bring to him a deaf [man] who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
And he charged them that they should speak to no one [of it]. But so much the more he charged them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it;
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.
