Mark 7
1 And there come together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem;
And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.
2 and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
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 eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of 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 when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.
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?
And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common 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 Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
8 Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.
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 you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
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 that shall curse father or mother, dying let him 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 you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift, ) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.
12 ye suffer him no longer to do anything for his father or his mother;
And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or 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 own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
14 And again calling the multitude to him, he said to them, Hearken to me all of you, and understand.
And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, 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 without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.
If any man 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 was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him 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 saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a 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 entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.
But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a 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 proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
All these evil things come from within, and defile a 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 rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should 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.
For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down 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.
For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil 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.
Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, 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 said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
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: For this saying go thy way, the devil 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 when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
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 going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon 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 one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
33 And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spit, touched his tongue;
And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, 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 said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou 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 string 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 tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish 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 so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
