Mark 7
1 And gathered together to Him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
Then came together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem.
2 and having seen certain of His disciples with defiled hands—that is, unwashed—eating bread, they found fault;
And when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.
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 often, 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 market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there are, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, and of brasen vessels, and tables.
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?”
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed 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;
He answered and said to them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied concerning 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 for doctrines the commandments 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.”
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And He said to them, “Well do you put away the command of God that you may keep your tradition;
And he said to them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own 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, Whoever curseth 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 mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or for his mother,
And ye permit him no more to do any thing 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 the word of God of no effect through 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 when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Hearken to me each one 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 outside of a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 [[If any has ears to hear—let him hear.”]]
If any man hath 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 had entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning 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 to them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from outside entereth 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 entereth not into his heart, but into the stomach, and goeth out into the draught, purging all foods?
20 And He said, “That which is coming out from the man, that defiles the man;
And he said, That which cometh 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, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, slander, pride, foolishness;
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 all these evils come forth from within, and they defile the man.”
All these evil things come 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 there 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.
25 for a woman having heard about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at His feet—
For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell 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.
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon 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.”
But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not good to take the children’s bread, and to 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.”
And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet 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 to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon 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 when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter lying upon the bed.
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, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region 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 to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put 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, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, 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 to 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 immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke 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 proclaimed 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 were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
