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 of the Scribes who have come from Jerusalem gather themselves together unto him;
2 and seeing some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands,
and, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread, ——
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 with care they wash their hands, eat not, holding fast 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 market, unless they sprinkle themselves, they eat not, —and, many other things, there are, which they have accepted to hold fast—immersions of cups and measures and copper vessels——
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 so the Pharisees and the Scribes, question, him—For what cause do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but, with defiled hands, eat bread?
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, said unto them—Well, prophesied Isaiah concerning you, ye hypocrites, as it is written—This people, with the lips do honour me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me, —
7 But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments of men;
8 Laying aside, the commandment of God, ye hold fast the tradition of men.
Having, dismissed, the commandment, of God, ye, hold fast, 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 was saying to them—Well, do ye set aside the commandment of God, that, your own tradition, ye may observe;
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 revileth 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 shall say to his father or his mother, Korban! that is, A gift, whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
12 ye suffer him no longer to do anything for his father or his mother;
no longer, do ye suffer him to do, aught, 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.
cancelling the word of God by your tradition which ye have delivered. And, many such similar things, are ye doing!
14 And again calling the multitude to him, he said to them, Hearken to me all of you, and understand.
And, again calling near the multitude, he was saying unto them—Hearken to 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.
Nothing, is there, from without the man, entering into him, which can defile him; but, the things which, out of the man, come forth, are the things that defile the man.
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 multitudes, his disciples began to question him as to 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 unto them—Thus, are, ye also, without discernment? Perceive ye not that, nothing, from without, entering into the man, can 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 into his stomach, and, into the draught, is passed—purifying all foods?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man.
And he was saying—That which, out of the man, cometh forth, that, defileth 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 base designs, come forth, —fornications, thefts,
22 thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, knaveries, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, profane speaking, foolishness, —
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
all these wicked things, from within, come forth, 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, from thence arising, he departed into the bounds of Tyre [and Zidon]. And, entering into a house, he was wishing, no one, to know it, and yet could not escape notice, —
25 But a woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, immediately hearing of him, came in, and fell at his feet.
but, straightway, a woman hearing about him, whose daughter had an impure spirit, she came 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.
Now, the woman, was a Grecian, a Syrophoenician by race, —and she was requesting him that, the demon, he would cast forth 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 was saying to her—Suffer, the children, first, to be fed; for it is not seemly to take the bread of the children, and, unto the little dogs, to cast it;
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 saith to him—Yea, Lord! and yet, the little dogs under the table, do eat 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—Because of this word, go thy way, the demon hath gone forth 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, departing unto her house, she found the child laid prostrate on the couch, and the demon gone forth.
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 coming forth out of the bounds of Tyre, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the bounds 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 stammering, and beseech him that he would lay upon him his hand.
33 And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spit, touched his tongue;
And, taking him away from the multitude apart, he thrust his fingers into his ears, and, spitting, touched his tongue;
34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
and, looking up into the heaven, sighed deeply, 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 his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, —and he was speaking correctly.
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 be telling, no one, —but, as much as to them he gave charge, they, exceeding more abundantly, were making proclamation.
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, superabundantly, were they being struck with astonishment, saying—Well, hath he, all things, done, —both, the deaf, he causeth to hear, and, the dumb, to speak.
