Mark 7
1 And the Pharisees and certain ones of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Him.
And gathered together to Him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
2 And seeing certain ones of His disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands.
and having seen certain of His disciples with defiled hands—that is, unwashed—eating bread, they found fault;
3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they diligently wash their hands, do not eat, 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 from the forum, unless they may baptize themselves, they do not eat: and many other things which they have received to hold, the baptism of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.
and [coming] from the marketplace, if they do not immerse themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, immersions of cups, and pots, and bronze vessels, and couches.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Wherefore do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders: but they eat bread with unwashed hands?
Then the Pharisees and the scribes question Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat the bread with unwashed hands?”
6 And responding He said to them, Beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as has been written, This people honor me with lips, but their heart is far from me.
And He answering said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it has been written: This people honors Me with the lips, and their heart is far from Me;
7 In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.
for having put away the command of God, you hold the tradition of men, immersions of pots and cups; and many other such like things you do.”
9 And He said to them, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold your own tradition.
And He said to them, “Well do you put away the command of God that you may keep your tradition;
10 For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the death.
for Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;
11 But you say, If a man may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me;
and you say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever you may be profited out of mine,
12 and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother;
and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or for his mother,
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things.
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that you delivered; and many such like things you do.”
14 And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, and understand.
And having called near all the multitude, He said to them, “Listen to Me, you all, and understand;
15 There is nothing without a man coming into him, which is competent to defile him: but those things coming out from him, these are the things which defile the man.
there is nothing from outside 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 one has ears to hear, let him hear.
[[If any has ears to hear—let him hear.”]]
17 And when He came from the multitude into the house, His disciples asked Him the parable.
And when He entered into a house from the multitude, His disciples were questioning Him about the allegory,
18 And He says to them, Are you still without understanding? Do you not know that everything external entering into a man is not able to defile him?
and He says to them, “So also you are without understanding! Do you not perceive that nothing from outside entering into the man is able to defile him?
19 Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles.
Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it goes out, purifying all the meats.”
20 And He said, Everything proceeding out from the man, that defiles the man.
And He said, “That which is coming out from the man, that defiles the man;
21 For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders,
for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, impurity, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly.
thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, slander, pride, foolishness;
23 All these evils proceed out from within, and defile the man.
all these evils come forth from within, and they defile the man.”
24 And rising up, He departed thence into the regions of Tyre and Sidon. And having entered into a house, and He wished no one to know it: and He was not able to be hidden.
And from there 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 woman hearing concerning Him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, having come worshiped at His feet.
for a woman having heard about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at His feet—
26 For the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by race; and asked Him that He may cast the demon out of her daughter.
and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by nation—and was asking Him that He may cast forth the demon out of her daughter.
27 And He said to her, Permit the children first to be fed: for It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to little dogs.
And Jesus said to her, “First permit 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 And she responded and says to Him, Yea, Lord: for even the little dogs eat the crumbs of the children under the table.
And she answered and says to Him, “Yes, Lord; for the little dogs under the table also eat of the children’s crumbs.”
29 And He said to her, On account of this word go; the demon has already gone out from thy daughter.
And He said to her, “Because of this word, go; the demon has gone forth out of your daughter”;
30 And having come into her house, she found the demon gone out, and the daughter lying on the bed.
and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid on the bed.
31 And having again come out from Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, amid the coasts of Decapolis.
And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,
32 And they bring Him a deaf man, speaking with difficulty; and intreat Him that He may lay His hand on him.
and they bring to Him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on Him that He may put the hand on him.
33 And taking him from the crowd privately, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spat, He 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 up to heaven, he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, which is, Be thou opened.
and having looked to the sky, He sighed, and says to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened”;
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak distinctly.
and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.
36 And He charged them that they should tell no one: and the more He charged them, the more abundantly they proclaimed it.
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 astonished exceedingly, saying, He has done all things well: He makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
and they were being astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes both the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.”
