Mark 7
1 Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
And the Pharisees and certain ones of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Him.
2 Now when they saw that some of his disciples ate bread with defiled, that is, 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 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, unless they diligently wash their hands, do not eat, holding 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 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 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 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 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.
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 And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.
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, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold your own tradition.
10 For Moses 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 thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the 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 may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me;
12 then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
and you no longer permit him to do anything 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 void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things.
14 And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all 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 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 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.
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 came from the multitude into the house, His disciples asked Him the parable.
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 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 does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles.
20 He said, "That which proceeds 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 a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and 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 From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
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 But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit 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 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon 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 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."
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 But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat 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 He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has 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 went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
And having come into her house, she found the demon gone out, and the daughter lying on the bed.
31 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.
And having again come out from Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, amid the coasts of Decapolis.
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Jesus to lay his hand on him.
And they bring Him a deaf man, speaking with difficulty; and intreat Him that He may lay His hand on 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 taking him from the crowd privately, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spat, He touched his tongue;
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to 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 his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak distinctly.
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 that they should tell no one: and the more He charged them, the more abundantly they proclaimed 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 were astonished exceedingly, saying, He has done all things well: He makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
