Mark 7
1 And the Pharisees and certain of the Scribes who have come from Jerusalem gather themselves together unto him;
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 and, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread, ——
And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
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, except they wash [their] hands oft, eat not, 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 [when they come] from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, [as] the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
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, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen 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, —
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of 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 pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments of men;
Howbeit 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 laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, [as] the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
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 unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep 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, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him 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 ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; [he shall be free].
12 no longer, do ye suffer him to do, aught, for his father or his mother, —
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 cancelling the word of God by your tradition which ye have delivered. And, many such similar things, are ye doing!
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And, again calling near the multitude, he was saying unto them—Hearken to me, all! and understand:
And when he had called all the people [unto him], he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one [of you], 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 from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
If any man have 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 was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning 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 saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, [it] cannot 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 entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he was saying—That which, out of the man, cometh forth, that, defileth the man;
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For, from within, out of the heart of men, the base designs, come forth, —fornications, thefts,
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, knaveries, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, profane speaking, foolishness, —
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 all these wicked things, from within, come forth, and defile, the man.
All these evil things come 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 from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know [it]: but he could not be hid.
25 but, straightway, a woman hearing about him, whose daughter had an impure spirit, she came and fell down at his feet.
For a [certain] woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell 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.
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil 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;
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] unto the 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 answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
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 unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 and, departing unto her house, she found the child laid prostrate on the couch, and the demon gone forth.
And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon 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 again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of 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 unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33 And, taking him away from the multitude apart, he thrust his fingers into his ears, and, spitting, touched his tongue;
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and 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 sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 and his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, —and he was speaking correctly.
And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
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 man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published [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 beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
