Mark 7
1 And gathered together to Him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which had come from Jerusalem,
2 and having seen certain of His disciples with defiled hands—that is, unwashed—eating bread, they found fault;
and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.
3 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,
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders:
4 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.
and [when they come] from the marketplace, except they wash themselves, they eat not: and many other things there be, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.
5 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?”
And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?
6 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;
And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.
7 and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
But in vain do they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men.
8 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.”
Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
9 And He said to them, “Well do you put away the command of God that you may keep your tradition;
And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.
10 for Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:
11 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,
but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given [to God];
12 and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or for his mother,
ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;
13 setting aside the word of God for your tradition that you delivered; and many such like things you do.”
making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.
14 And having called near all the multitude, He said to them, “Listen to Me, you all, and understand;
And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:
15 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.
there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him: but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.
16 [[If any has ears to hear—let him hear.”]]
17 And when He entered into a house from the multitude, His disciples were questioning Him about the allegory,
And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.
18 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?
And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, [it] cannot defile him;
19 Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it goes out, purifying all the meats.”
because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? [This he said], making all meats clean.
20 And He said, “That which is coming out from the man, that defiles the man;
And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
22 thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, slander, pride, foolishness;
covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:
23 all these evils come forth from within, and they defile the man.”
all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
24 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,
And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it: and he could not be hid.
25 for a woman having heard about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at His feet—
But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
26 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.
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 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.”
And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
28 And she answered and says to Him, “Yes, Lord; for the little dogs under the table also eat of the children’s crumbs.”
But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord: even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29 And He said to her, “Because of this word, go; the demon has gone forth out of your daughter”;
And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid on the bed.
And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the devil gone out.
31 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,
And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
32 and they bring to Him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on Him that He may put the hand on him.
And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.
33 And having taken him away from the multitude by Himself, He put His fingers to his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue,
And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;
34 and having looked to the sky, He sighed, and says to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened”;
and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.
And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
36 He charged them that they may tell no one, but the more He was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [it],
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.
37 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.”
And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
