Mark 7
1 Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Urishlim.
And there came together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem:
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
and when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands:
3 (For the Pharisees, and all Jewish people, do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the Tradition of the Elders.
(for the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not, unless they wash their hands carefully, because they hold the tradition of the elders:
4 They do not eat when they come from the marketplace unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold to, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels and dining couches.)
and when they come from the market, they do not eat, unless they immerse themselves. And there are many other things, which they have received to hold, as the immersion of cups and pitchers and brazen vessels and beds: )
5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not walk according to the Tradition of the Elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"
then the Pharisees and the scribes asked him: Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
6 He said to them, "Well did Eshaya prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
He answered and said to them: Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
In vain do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.
8 "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
For, neglecting the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the immersion of pitchers and cups; and many other things like these you do.
9 He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
And he said to them: Well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
10 For Mushe said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.
11 But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'
But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Whatever of mine might benefit you, is Corban, (which means, a gift, )
12 then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
you no longer suffer him to do any thing for his father or mother,
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
making the word of God of no effect by your tradition, which you have delivered; and many things like these you do.
14 And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.
And he called the whole multitude to him, and said to them: Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 There is nothing from outside of the person, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the person are what defile the person."
There is nothing without that, by entering into a man, can defile him. But those things which come out of the man, defile him.
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
And when he had gone into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the dark saying.
18 He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him,
And he said to them: Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing from without, by entering into a man, can defile him?
19 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
Because it does not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the sink, cleansing all food.
20 He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
And he said: What comes out of the man, is that which defiles the man.
21 For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
thefts, schemes for extortion, wicked deeds, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, calumny, haughtiness, impiety.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
All these evil things come forth from within, and defile the man.
24 From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tsur and Tsaidan. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
And he arose and departed thence to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and desired that no one should know it; but he could not escape notice.
25 But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet.
For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet;
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
(the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, ) and she besought him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 But he said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
But Jesus said to her: Let the children be satisfied first; for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.
28 But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
She answered and said to him: Yes, Lord; and yet you can help me, for the little dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29 He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
And he said to her: For this saying, go your way: the demon has gone out of your daughter.
30 And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
And she went to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying upon the bed.
31 Again he departed from the borders of Tsur, and came through Tsaidan to the lake of Galila, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.
And again he went out from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Yeshua to lay his hand on him.
And they brought to him a deaf man, who spoke with difficulty; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.
33 He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and 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 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Pethakh." that is, "Be opened."
and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him: Ephphatha, which means, Be opened.
35 And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more earnestly they published it.
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
And they were amazed beyond measure, and said: He Las done all things well: he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.
