Mark 7
1 And there come together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem;
And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,
2 and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,
3 (for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands often, do not eat, holding fast the tradition of the elders;
(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;
4 and on coming from the marketplace, unless they bathe, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the dipping of cups, and pitchers, and brazen vessels; )
and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),
5 then the Pharisees and scribes ask him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with defiled hands?
then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?
6 And he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.
7 But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.
8 Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
[For], leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men [to keep] — washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said to them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition!
And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves [to keep].
10 For Moses said, “Honor thy father and thy mother;” and, “He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die.”
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.
11 But ye say, If a man say to his father or mother, Whatever thou mightst receive in aid from me is Corban, that is, a gift to God, [[he is not bound by the command. Thus]]
But ye say, If a man say to his father or his mother, [It is] corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by...
12 ye suffer him no longer to do anything for his father or his mother;
And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have handed down; and many such things ye do.
making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.
14 And again calling the multitude to him, he said to them, Hearken to me all of you, and understand.
And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:
15 Nothing that entereth into a man from without can defile him; but the things that come out of him are what defile a man.
There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.
If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he had gone into the house from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith to them, Are ye too so without discernment? Do ye not understand that whatever thing from without entereth into a man, cannot defile him?
And he says to them, Are ye also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,
19 because it entereth not into his heart, but into the stomach; and goeth out into the drain, which cleanseth all kinds of food.
because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.
And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth evil thoughts, fornications,
For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.
24 And rising up, he departed thence into the borders of Tyre; and entering into a house, he desired that no one should know it; but he could not escape notice.
And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know [it], and he could not be hid.
25 But a woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, immediately hearing of him, came in, and fell at his feet.
But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.
(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 And he said to her, Let the children be filled first; for it is not well to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.
But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
28 But she answered, and saith to him, Yea, Lord; even the little dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon hath gone out of thy daughter.
And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And going away to her house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
31 And again leaving the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the lake of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech, and beseech him to lay his hand upon him.
And they bring to him a deaf [man] who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.
33 And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spit, touched his tongue;
And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;
34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And his ears were opened; and the string of his tongue was immediately loosed, and he spoke plain.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.
36 And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more did they publish it.
And he charged them that they should speak to no one [of it]. But so much the more he charged them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it;
37 And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.
