Mark 7
1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
AND there gathered to him Pharishee and Sophree, who had come from Urishlem;
2 and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
and they saw some of his disciples eating bread with their hands not washed; and they complained.
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.
For all the Jihudoyee and Pharishee, unless they carefully wash their hands, do not eat, because they hold the tradition of the elders;
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.
and (coming) from the market, unless they lave, they eat not. And many other of those (things) there are which they have received to observe, (as) the baptisms of cups, and of measures, and of brasen utensils, and of beds.
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.”
And the Sophree and Pharishee questioned him, Why do not your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders; but, while their hands are not washed, eat bread?
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.
But he said to them, Well prophesied concerning you Eshaia the prophet, you hypocrites; as it is written, This people with their lips honour me, but their heart is very far from me.
7 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
But in vain do they reverence me while they teach the teachings of the commandments of men.
8 You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
For you have abandoned the commandment of God and hold the tradition of men, as the baptisms of cups and measures, and many things like these.
9 He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
He said to them (moreover), You decently suppress the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
For Musha hath said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and whosoever curseth father and mother, the death he shall die.
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),
But you say, If a man shall say to his father, or to his mother, My oblation, (be that) whatever from me thou mayest profit;
12 he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
and you permit him not to do any thing for his father and his mother.
13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
But you reject the word of Aloha for the sake of the tradition which you have delivered: and many similar (observances) to these you practise.
14 Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:
And Jeshu called the whole multitude, and said to them, Hear me, all of you, and understand:
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.”
It is not that which is without the man, and which entereth into him, that can defile him: but that which proceedeth from him, that defileth a man.
He who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
But when Jeshu had gone into the house (apart) from the multitude, his disciples asked him concerning that parable.
18 “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
He said to them, How dull are even you! Know you not, that nothing from without that entereth a man can defile him,
19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)
because it entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and is cast out in the purgation which all food purgeth?
20 He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
But that which proceedeth from a man, that polluteth a man.
21 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
For from within, from the heart of the sons of men, go forth evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, robbery, murder,
22 greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
rapacity, malice, fraud, obscenity, an evil eye, blasphemy, vain-glory, folly;
23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
all these evils come from within, and they 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.
FROM thence Jeshu arose and went to the confine of Tsur and of Tsaidon, and entered into a certain house: and he was unwilling that any man should know of him, but he could not conceal.
25 Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
For immediately heard a certain woman concerning him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit; and she came, (and) fell before his feet.
26 Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
But that woman was a Gentile of Phuniki of Suria, and she prayed of him to cast out the demon from her daughter.
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.”
But Jeshu said to her, Let the children first be filled; for it is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
28 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
But she answering said to him, Yes, my Lord, yet the dogs also from beneath the table eat the crumbs of the children.
29 Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
Jeshu saith to her, Go; on account of that word, the demon hath gone forth from thy daughter.
30 And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.
And she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on the couch, and the demon had gone out from her.
31 Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
Jeshu again departed from the confine of Tsur and of Tsaidon, and came to the sea of Galila, on the confine of the Ten Cities;
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.
and they brought to him a blind man, a stammerer, and besought him to lay upon him the hand.
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.
And he took him aside from the crowd by himself, and put his fingers in his ears, and spat, and touched his tongue.
34 And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).
And he looked up to heaven, and sighed, and said to him, Be opened:
35 Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
and in that hour his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plainly.
36 Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
And he charged them that to no man they should tell this. But so much as he charged them, they the more 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!”
and they were exceedingly astonished, and said, He doeth every thing well; the deaf he maketh to hear, and them who spoke not, to speak.
