Mark 7
1 And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which had come from Jerusalem,
And the Pharisees and certain of the Scribes who have come from Jerusalem gather themselves together unto him;
2 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, 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, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding 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 [when they come] from the marketplace, except they wash themselves, they eat not: and many other things there be, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen 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 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their 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 unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth 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 their] doctrines the precepts of men.
But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments of men;
8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
Having, dismissed, the commandment, of God, ye, hold fast, the tradition, of men.
9 And he said unto 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, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:
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 shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given [to God];
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 no longer suffer him to do aught 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 delivered: and many such like 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 he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:
And, again calling near the multitude, he was saying unto them—Hearken to me, all! and understand:
15 there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him: but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the 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 was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him 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 unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, [it] 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 goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? [This he said], making all meats clean.
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 proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the 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, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
For, from within, out of the heart of men, the base designs, come forth, —fornications, thefts,
22 covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:
murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, knaveries, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, profane speaking, foolishness, —
23 all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
all these wicked things, from within, come forth, and defile, the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it: and he could not be hid.
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 straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down 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 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of 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 unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the 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 unto him, Yea, Lord: even the 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 unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is 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 she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the devil gone out.
and, departing unto her house, she found the child laid prostrate on the couch, and the demon gone forth.
31 And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea 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 unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they 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 he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and 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 unto 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 bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
and his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, —and he was speaking correctly.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published 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 even 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.
