< Mark 7 >

1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ
2 and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲉⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓⲁⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ
3 Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
ⲅ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲧⲙⲓⲁⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ
4 And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲅⲟⲣⲁ ⲉⲩⲧⲙϭⲉϣϭⲱϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲉⲛⲁⲡⲟⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲣⲡⲟⲩ ⲛⲙϩⲉⲛⲝⲉⲥⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲙϩⲉⲛⲭⲁⲗⲕⲓⲛ
5 So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲥⲉⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲓⲕ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲟⲗⲙ
6 Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲁⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲛϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧϥⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲧⲙⲁⲓⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲡⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ
7 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
ⲍ̅ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲛϫⲏ ⲉⲩϯ ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥⲃⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ
8 You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
ⲏ̅ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲱ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲙⲉ
9 He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲑⲉⲧⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
ⲓ̅ⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓⲉⲡⲉⲕⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲙ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲏ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ
11 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲏ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲣⲃⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧ
12 he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲥⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
14 Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲉⲓ
15 Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲙⲙⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣϫⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲧϫⲱϩⲙ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲕⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲏⲉⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ
18 “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟ ⲛⲁⲧϩⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϥⲙⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϥⲛⲁϣϫⲁϩⲙⲉϥ ⲁⲛ
19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲃⲏⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲫⲏⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲃⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲣⲙⲏ ⲉϥⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲛϭⲓⲛⲟⲩⲟⲟⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ
20 He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϣⲁϥϫⲁϩⲙ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ
21 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,

23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

24 Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲟϣ ⲛⲧⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲙⲥⲓⲇⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲏⲉⲓ ⲙⲡϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉϣϩⲱⲡ
25 Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲥⲟⲩϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲥ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲁⲥⲡⲁϩⲧⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧϥ
26 Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲣⲣⲙⲧⲉⲫⲟⲓⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⲛⲧⲥⲩⲣⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲛⲉϫⲡⲇⲁⲓⲙⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲉⲥϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ
27 “First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥⲉⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲉϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲛⲟϫϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲣ
28 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲇⲁⲓⲙⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲟⲩϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ
30 And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

31 Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲧⲟϣ ⲛⲧⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲥⲓⲇⲱⲛ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲧⲟϣ ⲛⲧⲇⲉⲕⲁⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ
32 Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

33 So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲧϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲧⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓⲧϥ ⲉⲩⲥⲁ ⲁϥⲛⲉϫⲛⲉϥⲧⲏⲏⲃⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲉϫⲧⲁϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁϥ ⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲗⲁⲥ
34 And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).

35 Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

36 Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

37 The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
