Mark 7
1 And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which had come from Jerusalem,
And there were gathered unto Him the pharisees, and some of the scribes, from Jerusalem;
2 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.
and when they saw some of his disciples eating with impure (that is, unwashed) hands, they found fault:
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 indeed all the Jews, do not eat till they have washed their hands thoroughly, observing the tradition of the ancients.
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 when they come from the market, they do not eat till they have washed. And there are many other things, which they have received to observe, as the washing of cups, and pots, and brass-vessels, and seats.
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?
Then the pharisees and the scribes ask Him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but eat without washing their hands?
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 answered them, Well did Esaias 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 their] doctrines the precepts of men.
and in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the injunctions of men.
8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye retain the tradition of men, as the washings of pots and cups, and many other such like things.
9 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.
And ye expressly annul the commandment of God, that ye may retain your own tradition;
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 be put to death:
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 tell his father or mother, That which thou mightest be profited by from me is Corban, (that is, a gift to the temple) it sufficeth:
12 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;
and so ye allow him to do nothing more 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.
making void the word of God by your tradition, And many such like things ye do.
14 And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:
And calling all the people to Him, He said unto them,
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.
Hear me all of you, and understand, There is nothing without a man, which entring into him can defile him: but the things proceeding from him are those which defile a man.
If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.
And when He was come into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked Him concerning the meaning of 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, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not know, that whatsoever from without entreth into a man cannot 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 entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all his food.
20 And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.
But said He, What cometh out of a man, that defileth the man;
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
for out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts,
22 covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:
adulteries, fornications, murthers, thefts, avarice, malice, deceit, lasciviousness, envy, slander, pride, folly;
23 all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
all these evils come from within 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 He arose and went from thence to the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and going into a house He would have had no body know it, but He could not be concealed: for a woman,
25 But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
whose child was possessed by an evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell 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 Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, ) and she besought Him to cast out the demon from 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.
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not fit to take the children's bread, and throw it to the dogs.
28 But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord: even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
And she answered and said unto Him, True, Lord, yet the dogs under the table, eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
And He said unto her, For this saying, go thy way, the demon is gone 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 she went away to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter laid on the bed.
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 departing again out of the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, He came to the sea of Galilee thro' the midst of the coasts 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 brought to Him a deaf man, who had likewise an impediment in his speech, and pray Him to put his hand upon him.
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 He took him aside out of the croud, and He spit and put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue:
34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
and looking up to heaven He sighed, 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 immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake distinctly.
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 to tell no one, but the more He charged them, the more they published it:
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 were exceedingly astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
