Mark 7
1 Then gathered vnto him the Pharises, and certaine of the Scribes which came from Hierusalem.
And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
2 And when they sawe some of his disciples eate meate with common hands, (that is to say, vnwashen) they complained.
and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands — that is, unwashed — eating bread, they found fault;
3 (For the Pharises, and all the Iewes, except they wash their hands oft, eate not, holding the tradition of the Elders.
for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eate not: and many other things there be, which they haue taken vpon them to obserue, as the washing of cups, and pots, and of brasen vessels, and of beds.)
and, [coming] from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.
5 Then asked him the Pharises and Scribes, Why walke not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eate meate with vnwashen hands?
Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, 'Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'
6 Then hee answered and sayd vnto them, Surely Esay hath prophecied well of you, hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth mee with lippes, but their heart is farre away from me.
and he answering said to them — 'Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honour Me, and their heart is far from Me;
7 But they worship me in vaine, teaching for doctrines the commandements of men.
and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 For ye lay the commandement of God apart, and obserue the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and of cups, and many other such like things ye doe.
for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'
9 And he sayd vnto them, Well, ye reiect the commandement of God, that ye may obserue your owne tradition.
And he said to them, 'Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;
10 For Moses sayd, Honour thy father and thy mother: and Whosoeuer shall speake euill of father or mother, let him die the death.
for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother — let him die the death;
11 But yee say, If a man say to father or mother, Corban, that is, By the gift that is offered by mee, thou mayest haue profite, hee shall be free.
and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,
12 So ye suffer him no more to doe any thing for his father, or his mother,
and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,
13 Making the worde of God of none authoritie, by your tradition which ye haue ordeined: and ye doe many such like things.
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'
14 Then he called the whole multitude vnto him, and sayd vnto them, Hearken you all vnto me, and vnderstand.
And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, 'Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;
15 There is nothing without a man, that can defile him, when it entreth into him: but the things which proceede out of him, are they which defile the man.
there is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.
16 If any haue eares to heare, let him heare.
If any hath ears to hear — let him hear.'
17 And when hee came into an house, away from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,
18 And he sayde vnto them, What? are ye without vnderstanding also? Doe ye not knowe that whatsoeuer thing from without entreth into a man, cannot defile him,
and he saith to them, 'So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?
19 Because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught which is the purging of all meates?
because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'
20 Then he sayd, That which commeth out of man, that defileth man.
And he said — 'That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;
21 For from within, euen out of the heart of men, proceede euill thoughtes, adulteries, fornications, murthers,
for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
22 Theftes, couetousnes, wickednes, deceite, vncleannes, a wicked eye, backbiting, pride, foolishnesse.
thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;
23 All these euill things come from within, and defile a man.
all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'
24 And from thence he rose, and went into the borders of Tyrus and Sidon, and entred into an house, and woulde that no man should haue knowen: but he could not be hid.
And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,
25 For a certaine woman, whose litle daughter had an vncleane spirit, heard of him, and came, and fell at his feete,
for a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, —
26 (And the woman was a Greeke, a Syrophenissian by nation) and she besought him that he would cast out the deuill out of her daughter.
and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation — and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.
27 But Iesus saide vnto her, Let the children first be fedde: for it is not good to take the childrens bread, and to cast it vnto whelpes.
And Jesus said to her, 'Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to the little dogs.'
28 Then shee answered, and saide vnto him, Trueth, Lord: yet in deede the whelpes eate vnder the table of the childrens crommes.
And she answered and saith to him, 'Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.'
29 Then he said vnto her, For this saying goe thy way: the deuil is gone out of thy daughter.
And he said to her, 'Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;'
30 And when shee was come home to her house, shee founde the deuill departed, and her daughter lying on the bed.
and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch.
31 And hee departed againe from the coastes of Tyrus and Sidon, and came vnto the sea of Galile, through the middes of the coastes of Decapolis.
And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,
32 And they brought vnto him one that was deafe and stambered in his speache, and prayed him to put his hand vpon him.
and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.
33 Then hee tooke him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers in his eares, and did spit, and touched his tongue.
And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,
34 And looking vp to heauen, hee sighed, and said vnto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, 'Ephphatha,' that is, 'Be thou opened;'
35 And straightway his eares were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and hee spake plaine.
and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.
36 And he commanded them, that they should tell no man: but howe much soeuer hee forbad them, the more a great deale they published it,
And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [it],
37 And were beyonde measure astonied, saying, Hee hath done all thinges well: he maketh both the deafe to heare, and the domme to speake.
and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, 'Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'
