Mark 7
1 One day the Pharisees came to him in a body with some Scribes who had come from Jerusalem.
και συναγονται προς αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και τινες των γραμματεων ελθοντες απο ιεροσολυμων
2 They had noticed that some of his disciples were eating with "common," that is to say, unwashed hands.
και ιδοντες τινας των μαθητων αυτου οτι κοιναις χερσιν τουτ εστιν ανιπτοις εσθιουσιν τους αρτους
3 For the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat until they have ceremoniously washed their hands in obedience to the tradition of the elders;
οι γαρ φαρισαιοι και παντες οι ιουδαιοι εαν μη πυγμη νιψωνται τας χειρας ουκ εσθιουσιν κρατουντες την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων
4 and when they come from the market-place they do not eat without bathing first. and they have many other customs which they have received and observe, such as the washing of cups and jugs and copper pans.
και απ αγορας εαν μη {VAR1: ραντισωνται } {VAR2: βαπτισωνται } ουκ εσθιουσιν και αλλα πολλα εστιν α παρελαβον κρατειν βαπτισμους ποτηριων και ξεστων και χαλκιων {VAR2: [και κλινων] }
5 So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with ‘common’ unwashed hands?"
και επερωτωσιν αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις δια τι ου περιπατουσιν οι μαθηται σου κατα την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων αλλα κοιναις χερσιν εσθιουσιν τον αρτον
6 "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, hypocrites," he answered. "As it is written, "This people honor me with their lips, While their hearts are far from me;
ο δε ειπεν αυτοις καλως επροφητευσεν ησαιας περι υμων των υποκριτων ως γεγραπται {VAR1: οτι } {VAR2: [οτι] } ουτος ο λαος τοις χειλεσιν με τιμα η δε καρδια αυτων πορρω απεχει απ εμου
7 But in vain do they worship me, For their teaching is only human precepts.
ματην δε σεβονται με διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων
8 "You neglect the commandment of God, and hold fast the traditions of men."
αφεντες την εντολην του θεου κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων
9 "It is praiseworthy, is it," he exclaimed, "to reject the command of God that you may keep your tradition!
και ελεγεν αυτοις καλως αθετειτε την εντολην του θεου ινα την παραδοσιν υμων {VAR1: τηρησητε } {VAR2: στησητε }
10 For although Moses said, Honor your father and mother, and Let him who curses father or mother suffer death,
μωυσης γαρ ειπεν τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω
11 you say that if a man tells his father or mother, ‘This money which otherwise you would have received from me, is Korban’ (that is, a thing devoted to God),
υμεις δε λεγετε εαν ειπη ανθρωπος τω πατρι η τη μητρι κορβαν ο εστιν δωρον ο εαν εξ εμου ωφεληθης
12 you exempt him from doing any service for his father or mother.
ουκετι αφιετε αυτον ουδεν ποιησαι τω πατρι η τη μητρι
13 Thus by your tradition which you have handed down you set at naught the word of God; and you do many other things like that."
ακυρουντες τον λογον του θεου τη παραδοσει υμων η παρεδωκατε και παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε
14 Then again he called the crowd to him and said.
και προσκαλεσαμενος παλιν τον οχλον ελεγεν αυτοις ακουσατε μου παντες και συνετε
15 "Listen to me, all of you, and understand; there is nothing outside a man which by entering in can defile him; but it is what comes from him that defiled him."
ουδεν εστιν εξωθεν του ανθρωπου εισπορευομενον εις αυτον ο δυναται κοινωσαι αυτον αλλα τα εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενα εστιν τα κοινουντα τον ανθρωπον
17 After he had left the crowd and gone indoors his disciples began asking him about the parable.
και οτε εισηλθεν εις οικον απο του οχλου επηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου την παραβολην
18 "Are even you without understanding?" he said. "Do you not perceive that nothing whatever from without can defile a man by entering him,
και λεγει αυτοις ουτως και υμεις ασυνετοι εστε ου νοειτε οτι παν το εξωθεν εισπορευομενον εις τον ανθρωπον ου δυναται αυτον κοινωσαι
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and passes away, ejected from him?" By these words he pronounced all foods clean.
οτι ουκ εισπορευεται αυτου εις την καρδιαν αλλ εις την κοιλιαν και εις τον αφεδρωνα εκπορευεται καθαριζων παντα τα βρωματα
20 "What comes out of a man," he continued, "is what defiles him.
ελεγεν δε οτι το εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενον εκεινο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
21 From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes -
εσωθεν γαρ εκ της καρδιας των ανθρωπων οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι εκπορευονται πορνειαι κλοπαι φονοι
22 fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly -
μοιχειαι πλεονεξιαι πονηριαι δολος ασελγεια οφθαλμος πονηρος βλασφημια υπερηφανια αφροσυνη
23 all these wicked things issue from within and defile a man."
παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εκπορευεται και κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
24 After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid.
εκειθεν δε αναστας απηλθεν εις τα ορια τυρου {VAR1: [και σιδωνος] } και εισελθων εις οικιαν ουδενα ηθελεν γνωναι και ουκ {VAR1: ηδυνασθη } {VAR2: ηδυνηθη } λαθειν
25 Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet
αλλ ευθυς ακουσασα γυνη περι αυτου ης ειχεν το θυγατριον αυτης πνευμα ακαθαρτον ελθουσα προσεπεσεν προς τους ποδας αυτου
26 (the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
η δε γυνη ην ελληνις συροφοινικισσα τω γενει και ηρωτα αυτον ινα το δαιμονιον εκβαλη εκ της θυγατρος αυτης
27 "Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs."
και ελεγεν αυτη αφες πρωτον χορτασθηναι τα τεκνα ου γαρ εστιν καλον λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και τοις κυναριοις βαλειν
28 "True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the children’s crumbs."
η δε απεκριθη και λεγει αυτω {VAR1: ναι } κυριε και τα κυναρια υποκατω της τραπεζης εσθιουσιν απο των ψιχιων των παιδιων
29 "For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter."
και ειπεν αυτη δια τουτον τον λογον υπαγε εξεληλυθεν εκ της θυγατρος σου το δαιμονιον
30 So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.
και απελθουσα εις τον οικον αυτης ευρεν το παιδιον βεβλημενον επι την κλινην και το δαιμονιον εξεληλυθος
31 Again he left the region of Tyre, and passed through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, crossing the District of the Ten Towns.
και παλιν εξελθων εκ των οριων τυρου ηλθεν δια σιδωνος εις την θαλασσαν της γαλιλαιας ανα μεσον των οριων δεκαπολεως
32 And they brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hands upon him.
και φερουσιν αυτω κωφον και μογιλαλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον ινα επιθη αυτω την χειρα
33 So Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put his finger in the man’s ears, and moistened his tongue with saliva;
και απολαβομενος αυτον απο του οχλου κατ ιδιαν εβαλεν τους δακτυλους αυτου εις τα ωτα αυτου και πτυσας ηψατο της γλωσσης αυτου
34 then looking up to heaven with a sigh, he said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened.")
και αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον εστεναξεν και λεγει αυτω εφφαθα ο εστιν διανοιχθητι
35 And his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.
και {VAR2: [ευθεως] } ηνοιγησαν αυτου αι ακοαι και ελυθη ο δεσμος της γλωσσης αυτου και ελαλει ορθως
36 Then Jesus charged them not to tell any one, but the more he charged them, the more they published it;
και διεστειλατο αυτοις ινα μηδενι λεγωσιν οσον δε αυτοις διεστελλετο αυτοι μαλλον περισσοτερον εκηρυσσον
37 and people were amazed beyond measure saying. "How successfully he does things! Even the deaf he makes to hear, and the dumb to speak."
και υπερπερισσως εξεπλησσοντο λεγοντες καλως παντα πεποιηκεν και τους κωφους ποιει ακουειν και {VAR2: [τους] } αλαλους λαλειν
