Mark 7
1 AND the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, collected together around him.
And gathered together to Him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
2 And seeing some of his disciples eating bread with hands unclean, that is, unwashed, they found fault.
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 wash their hands to the wrist, eat 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 coming from the market, unless they have washed, they never eat. And there are many other things which they have by tradition received to observe, as the washings of cups, and pots, and vessels of brass, 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 the scribes asked him, Why do not thy disciples walk conformable to the tradition of the elders, but 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 Then he answering said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honoureth me with their 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 Now vainly do they worship me, while teaching doctrines the commandments of men.”
and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 For leaving the command of God, ye adhere to the tradition of men, the washings of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye practise.
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, Strangely do ye make void the command of God, that ye may observe your 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, “Honour thy father and thy mother:” and “he that curseth father or mother, let him assuredly be put to 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 ye affirm, If a man say to his father or mother, it is Corban (that is, a gift), which otherwise might have been advantageous to thee from 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 then ye permit him no more to do any thing for his father, or his mother;
and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or for his mother,
13 abrogating the word of God by the tradition, which ye have transmitted down; and many such like things ye do.
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that you delivered; and many such like things you do.”
14 And he called to him all the multitude, and said unto them, hear me all of you, and understand.
And having called near all the multitude, He said to them, “Listen to Me, you all, and understand;
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him, can make him unclean: but the things which come out from him, these are the things which make a man unclean.
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 man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
[[If any has ears to hear—let him hear.”]]
17 And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
And when He entered into a house from the multitude, His disciples were questioning Him about the allegory,
18 And he saith to them, Are ye also so defective of intelligence? Do you not consider, that every thing from without that entereth into a man, cannot make him unclean?
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 entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the vault, carrying off all the impurities of the food.
Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it goes out, purifying all the meats.”
20 But, said he, what cometh out of a man, that makes a man unclean.
And He said, “That which is coming out from the man, that defiles the man;
21 For from within out of the heart of men proceed wicked reasonings, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
22 thefts, inordinate cravings, mischievous actions, knavery, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly:
thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, slander, pride, foolishness;
23 all these wicked things come from within, and render a person unclean.
all these evils come forth from within, and they defile the man.”
24 And rising, he departed thence into the confines of Tyre and Sidon; and entering into a house, desired that no man should know it: yet he could not be hid.
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 of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came and fell at his feet.
for a woman having heard about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at His feet—
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by birth, and she entreated him that the devil might be cast 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 Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be fed, for it is not proper to take the children’s bread, and throw it to the 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 But she replied, and said to him, True, Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
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 unto her, For this speech, go home, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
And He said to her, “Because of this word, go; the demon has gone forth out of your daughter”;
30 And going to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid on a couch.
and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid on the bed.
31 And again departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of 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, who could scarcely articulate; and they entreat him to put his hand upon 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 he took him aside out of the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, 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 heaved a deep sigh, and saith unto him, Ephphatha! that is, Be opened.
and having looked to the sky, He sighed, and says to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened”;
35 And instantly his ears were opened, and the tie of his tongue loosed, and he spake 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 man: but the more he charged, the more abundantly they published it abroad.
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 they were astonished beyond all imagination, saying, He hath done all things admirably; he maketh even 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.”
