Mark 7
1 AND the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, collected together around him.
And the Pharisees and certain of the Scribes who have come from Jerusalem gather themselves together unto him;
2 And seeing some of his disciples eating bread with hands unclean, that is, unwashed, they found fault.
and, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread, ——
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, unless with care they wash their hands, eat not, holding fast 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 market, unless they sprinkle themselves, they eat not, —and, many other things, there are, which they have accepted to hold fast—immersions of cups and measures and copper vessels——
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?
and so the Pharisees and the Scribes, question, him—For what cause do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but, with defiled hands, eat bread?
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.
But, he, said unto them—Well, prophesied Isaiah concerning you, ye hypocrites, as it is written—This people, with the lips do honour me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me, —
7 Now vainly do they worship me, while teaching doctrines the commandments of men.”
But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments 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.
Having, dismissed, the commandment, of God, ye, hold fast, the tradition, of men.
9 And he said to them, Strangely do ye make void the command of God, that ye may observe your tradition.
And he was saying to them—Well, do ye set aside the commandment of God, that, your own tradition, ye may observe;
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—Honour thy father and thy mother, and—He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die, —
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;
But, ye, say—If a man shall say to his father or his mother, Korban! that is, A gift, whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
12 then ye permit him no more to do any thing for his father, or his mother;
no longer, do ye suffer him to do, aught, for his father or his mother, —
13 abrogating the word of God by the tradition, which ye have transmitted down; and many such like things ye do.
cancelling the word of God by your tradition which ye have delivered. And, many such similar things, are ye doing!
14 And he called to him all the multitude, and said unto them, hear me all of you, and understand.
And, again calling near the multitude, he was saying unto them—Hearken to me, 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.
Nothing, is there, from without the man, entering into him, which can defile him; but, the things which, out of the man, come forth, are the things that defile the man.
16 If any man hath 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 multitudes, his disciples began to question him as to the parable;
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 saith unto them—Thus, are, ye also, without discernment? Perceive ye not that, nothing, from without, entering into the man, can 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 entereth not into his heart, but into his stomach, and, into the draught, is passed—purifying all foods?
20 But, said he, what cometh out of a man, that makes a man unclean.
And he was saying—That which, out of the man, cometh forth, that, defileth 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 base designs, come forth, —fornications, thefts,
22 thefts, inordinate cravings, mischievous actions, knavery, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly:
murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, knaveries, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, profane speaking, foolishness, —
23 all these wicked things come from within, and render a person unclean.
all these wicked things, from within, come forth, and 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 thence arising, he departed into the bounds of Tyre [and Zidon]. And, entering into a house, he was wishing, no one, to know it, and yet could not escape notice, —
25 For a woman hearing of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came and fell at his feet.
but, straightway, a woman hearing about him, whose daughter had an impure spirit, she came and fell down 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.
Now, the woman, was a Grecian, a Syrophoenician by race, —and she was requesting him that, the demon, he would cast forth 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 he was saying to her—Suffer, the children, first, to be fed; for it is not seemly to take the bread of the children, and, unto the little dogs, to cast it;
28 But she replied, and said to him, True, Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
but she answered and saith to him—Yea, Lord! and yet, the little dogs under the table, do eat of the crumbs of the children;
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 thy way, the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;
30 And going to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid on a couch.
and, departing unto her house, she found the child laid prostrate on the couch, and the demon gone forth.
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 coming forth out of the bounds of Tyre, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the bounds 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 one deaf and stammering, and beseech him that he would lay upon him his hand.
33 And he took him aside out of the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue;
And, taking him away from the multitude apart, he thrust his fingers into his ears, and, spitting, touched his tongue;
34 and looking up to heaven, he heaved a deep sigh, and saith unto him, Ephphatha! that is, Be opened.
and, looking up into the heaven, sighed deeply, and saith unto 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 his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, —and he was speaking correctly.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged, the more abundantly they published it abroad.
And he charged them that they should be telling, no one, —but, as much as to them he gave charge, they, exceeding more abundantly, were making proclamation.
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, superabundantly, were they being struck with astonishment, saying—Well, hath he, all things, done, —both, the deaf, he causeth to hear, and, the dumb, to speak.
