Mark 7
1 And there come together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem;
And the Pharisees and certain ones of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Him.
2 and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
And seeing certain ones of His disciples eating 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 diligently wash their hands, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.
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 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 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 scribes asked Him, Wherefore do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders: but they eat bread with unwashed 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.
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 But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.
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, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold 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, Honor thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the death.
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 may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me;
12 ye suffer him no longer 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 ye have handed down; and many such things ye do.
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things.
14 And again calling the multitude to him, he said to them, Hearken to me all of you, and understand.
And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, 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 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 And when he had gone into the house from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
And when He came from the multitude into the house, 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 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 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 go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles.
20 And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.
And He said, Everything proceeding out from the man, that defiles the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth evil thoughts, fornications,
For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, impurity, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly.
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
All these evils proceed out 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 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 a woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, immediately hearing of him, came in, and fell at his feet.
For a woman hearing concerning Him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, having come worshiped 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 Greek, a Syrophenician by race; and asked Him that He may 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.
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, and saith to him, Yea, Lord; even the little dogs under the table eat of 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 And he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon hath gone out of thy daughter.
And He said to her, On account of this word go; the demon has already gone out from thy daughter.
30 And going away to her house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
And having come into her house, she found the demon gone out, and the 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 having again come out from Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, amid 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 Him a deaf man, speaking with difficulty; and intreat Him that He may 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 taking him from the crowd privately, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spat, 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, 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 bond of his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak distinctly.
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 one: and the more He charged them, 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 were astonished exceedingly, saying, He has done all things well: He makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
