Mark 7
1 And the Pharisees and certain of the Scribes who have come from Jerusalem gather themselves together unto him;
And the Pharisees and certain ones of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, gather to Him.
2 and, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread, ——
And seeing certain ones of His disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands.
3 For, the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless with care they wash their hands, eat not, holding fast the tradition of the elders;
For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they diligently wash their hands, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 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——
And from the forum, unless they may baptize themselves, they do not eat: and many other things which they have received to hold, the baptism of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.
5 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?
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Wherefore do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders: but they eat bread with unwashed hands?
6 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, —
And responding He said to them, Beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as has been written, This people honor me with lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments of men;
In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 Having, dismissed, the commandment, of God, ye, hold fast, the tradition, of men.
For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.
9 And he was saying to them—Well, do ye set aside the commandment of God, that, your own tradition, ye may observe;
And He said to them, Truly, you make void the commandment of God, that you may hold your own tradition.
10 For, Moses, said—Honour thy father and thy mother, and—He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die, —
For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and let the one speaking evil of father and mother die the death.
11 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,
But you say, If a man may say to father or mother, Corban, that is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me;
12 no longer, do ye suffer him to do, aught, for his father or his mother, —
and you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother;
13 cancelling the word of God by your tradition which ye have delivered. And, many such similar things, are ye doing!
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have given: and you do many such similar things.
14 And, again calling near the multitude, he was saying unto them—Hearken to me, all! and understand:
And calling the crowd to Him again, He said to them, Hear all ye, and understand.
15 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.
There is nothing without a man coming into him, which is competent to defile him: but those things coming out from him, these are the things which defile the man.
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And, when he entered into a house from the multitudes, his disciples began to question him as to the parable;
And when He came from the multitude into the house, His disciples asked Him the parable.
18 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;
And He says to them, Are you still without understanding? Do you not know that everything external entering into a man is not able to defile him?
19 because it entereth not into his heart, but into his stomach, and, into the draught, is passed—purifying all foods?
Because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is cast out into the excrement, purifying all edibles.
20 And he was saying—That which, out of the man, cometh forth, that, defileth the man;
And He said, Everything proceeding out from the man, that defiles the man.
21 For, from within, out of the heart of men, the base designs, come forth, —fornications, thefts,
For within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, knaveries, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, profane speaking, foolishness, —
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, impurity, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly.
23 all these wicked things, from within, come forth, and defile, the man.
All these evils proceed out from within, and defile the man.
24 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, —
And rising up, He departed thence into the regions of Tyre and Sidon. And having entered into a house, and He wished no one to know it: and He was not able to be hidden.
25 but, straightway, a woman hearing about him, whose daughter had an impure spirit, she came and fell down at his feet.
For a woman hearing concerning Him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, having come worshiped at His feet.
26 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.
For the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by race; and asked Him that He may cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 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;
And He said to her, Permit the children first to be fed: for It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to little dogs.
28 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;
And she responded and says to Him, Yea, Lord: for even the little dogs eat the crumbs of the children under the table.
29 and he said to her—Because of this word, go thy way, the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;
And He said to her, On account of this word go; the demon has already gone out from thy daughter.
30 and, departing unto her house, she found the child laid prostrate on the couch, and the demon gone forth.
And having come into her house, she found the demon gone out, and the daughter lying on the bed.
31 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.
And having again come out from Tyre and Sidon, He came to the Sea of Galilee, amid the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring to him one deaf and stammering, and beseech him that he would lay upon him his hand.
And they bring Him a deaf man, speaking with difficulty; and intreat Him that He may lay His hand on him.
33 And, taking him away from the multitude apart, he thrust his fingers into his ears, and, spitting, touched his tongue;
And taking him from the crowd privately, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spat, He touched his tongue;
34 and, looking up into the heaven, sighed deeply, and saith unto him—Ephphatha! that is, Be opened!
and looking up to heaven, he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, which is, Be thou opened.
35 and his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, —and he was speaking correctly.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue loosed, and he continued to speak distinctly.
36 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.
And He charged them that they should tell no one: and the more He charged them, the more abundantly they proclaimed it.
37 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.
And were astonished exceedingly, saying, He has done all things well: He makes the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
