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, who came from Jerusalem, collected together around him.
2 and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
And seeing some of his disciples eating bread with hands unclean, that is, unwashed, 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, unless they wash their hands to the wrist, eat not, 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 coming from the market, unless they have washed, they never eat. And there are many other things which they have by tradition received to observe, as the washings of cups, and pots, and vessels of brass, 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 asked him, Why do not thy disciples walk conformable to the tradition of the elders, but 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.
Then he answering said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning 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.”
Now vainly do they worship me, while teaching doctrines the commandments of men.”
8 Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
For leaving the command of God, ye adhere to the tradition of men, the washings of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye practise.
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, Strangely do ye make void the command of God, that ye may observe your 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 curseth father or mother, let him assuredly be put to 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 ye affirm, If a man say to his father or mother, it is Corban (that is, a gift), which otherwise might have been advantageous to thee from me;
12 ye suffer him no longer to do anything for his father or his mother;
then ye permit him no more to do any thing 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.
abrogating the word of God by the tradition, which ye have transmitted down; 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 he called to him all the multitude, and said unto 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 without a man, that entering into him, can make him unclean: but the things which come out from him, these are the things which make a man unclean.
If any man hath 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 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 saith to them, Are ye also so defective of intelligence? Do you not consider, that every thing from without that entereth into a man, cannot make him unclean?
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 into his belly, and goeth out into the vault, carrying off all the impurities of the food.
20 And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.
But, said he, what cometh out of a man, that makes a man unclean.
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 wicked reasonings, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
22 thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
thefts, inordinate cravings, mischievous actions, knavery, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
all these wicked things come from within, and render a person unclean.
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, he departed thence into the confines of Tyre and Sidon; and entering into a house, desired that no man should know it: yet 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 hearing of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, 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.
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by birth, and she entreated him that the devil might be cast 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 Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be fed, for it is not proper to take the children’s bread, and throw 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 replied, and said to him, True, Lord, yet 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 unto her, For this speech, go home, 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 going to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid on a couch.
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 departing from the coasts 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 him a deaf man, who could scarcely articulate; and they entreat him to put 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 he took him aside out of the crowd, and 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 heaved a deep sigh, and saith unto 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 instantly his ears were opened, and the tie of his tongue loosed, and he spake 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 man: but the more he charged, the more abundantly they published it abroad.
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 beyond all imagination, saying, He hath done all things admirably; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
