Mark 7
1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
And the Pharisees and certain ones of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Him.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.
And seeing certain ones of His disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they diligently wash their hands, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables.
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.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
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?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
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.
7 Nevertheless in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, all of you hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things all of you do.
For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.
9 And he said unto them, Full well all of you reject the commandment of God, that all of you may keep your own tradition.
And He said to them, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour your father and your mother; and, Whoso curses father or mother, let him die the death:
For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the death.
11 But all of you say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited by me; he shall be free.
But you say, If a man may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me;
12 And all of you suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother;
13 Making the word (logos) of God of no effect through your tradition, which all of you have delivered: and many such like things do all of you.
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, and understand.
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
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.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
And when He came from the multitude into the house, His disciples asked Him the parable.
18 And he says unto them, Are all of you so without understanding also? Do all of you not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without enters into the man, it cannot defile him;
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?
19 Because it enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles.
20 And he said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.
And He said, Everything proceeding out from the man, that defiles the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, impurity, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
All these evils proceed out from within, and defile the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
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.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, (pneuma) heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
For a woman hearing concerning Him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, having come worshiped at His feet.
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
For the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by race; and asked Him that He may cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
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.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
And she responded and says to Him, Yea, Lord: for even the little dogs eat the crumbs of the children under the table.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying (logos) go your way; the devil is gone out of your daughter.
And He said to her, On account of this word go; the demon has already gone out from thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
And having come into her house, she found the demon gone out, and the daughter lying on the bed.
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
And having again come out from Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, amid the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an barrier in his speech; and they plead to him to put his hand upon him.
And they bring Him a deaf man, speaking with difficulty; and intreat Him that He may lay His hand on him.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
And taking him from the crowd privately, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spat, He touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and says unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
and looking up to heaven, he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, which is, Be thou opened.
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plain.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak distinctly.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
And He charged them that they should tell no one: and the more He charged them, the more abundantly they proclaimed it.
37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things well: he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
And were astonished exceedingly, saying, He has done all things well: He makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
