Mark 7
1 And there come together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem;
And gathered together to Him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,
2 and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
and having seen certain of His disciples with defiled hands—that is, unwashed—eating bread, 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, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, 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 [coming] from the marketplace, if they do not immerse themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, immersions of cups, and pots, and bronze 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 the scribes question Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat the 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 He answering said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it has been written: This people honors Me with the lips, and their heart is far from Me;
7 But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;
8 Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
for having put away the command of God, you hold the tradition of men, immersions of pots and cups; and many other such like things you 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 you put away the command of God that you may keep 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, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him 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]]
and you say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), [is] whatever you may be profited out of mine,
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 for his mother,
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have handed down; and many such things ye do.
setting aside the word of God for your tradition that you delivered; and many 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 having called near all the multitude, He said to them, “Listen to Me, you 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 outside the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.
[[If any 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 entered into a house from the multitude, His disciples were questioning Him about the allegory,
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, “So also you are without understanding! Do you not perceive that nothing from outside entering into the man is 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 enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it goes out, purifying all the meats.”
20 And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.
And He said, “That which is coming out from 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, the evil reasonings come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,
22 thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, slander, pride, foolishness;
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
all these evils come forth from within, and they 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 from there having risen, He went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, He wished none to know, and He was not able to 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 having heard about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, 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, a Syro-Phoenician by nation—and was asking Him that He may cast forth 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 Jesus said to her, “First permit the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to the 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 answered and says to Him, “Yes, Lord; for the little dogs under the table also 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; the demon has gone forth out of your daughter”;
30 And going away to her house, she found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid 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 gone forth 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 to Him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on Him that He may put the 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 multitude by Himself, 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 having looked to the sky, He sighed, 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 string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.
36 And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more did they publish it.
He charged them that they may tell no one, but the more He was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming [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 being astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes both the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.”
