Mark 7
1 Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem were gathered around Jesus.
And there were gathered unto Him the pharisees, and some of the scribes, from Jerusalem;
2 When they saw some of his disciples eating bread with hands that were defiled (that is, unwashed), they criticized them.
and when they saw some of his disciples eating with impure (that is, unwashed) hands, they found fault:
3 (For none of the Pharisees or Jews eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to 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, they do not eat unless they have washed. There are also many other traditions they observe, such as the washing of cups, pots, copper vessels, and dining couches.)
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 Now the Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, “Why do yoʋr disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed 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 He answered them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors 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 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
and in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the injunctions of men.
8 For you have neglected the commandment of God and are holding to the tradition of men, such as various washings of pots and cups. And you do many other similar things such as these.”
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 Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commandment of God so that you may keep your tradition!
And ye expressly annul the commandment of God, that ye may retain your own tradition;
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’
for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that revileth father or mother, let him be put to death:
11 But you teach that it is acceptable for a man to say to his father or mother, ‘Whatever benefit yoʋ might have received from me is Corban’” (that is, a gift devoted 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 “In this way you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother,
and so ye allow him to do nothing more for his father or his mother:
13 thus nullifying the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many similar things such as these.”
making void the word of God by your tradition, And many such like things ye do.
14 Then Jesus called over the entire crowd and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand:
And calling all the people to Him, He said unto them,
15 There is nothing outside of a person that can defile him by going into him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.
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.
16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into a house, his disciples asked him about 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 He said to them, “So are you also without understanding? Do you not understand that whatever goes into a person from the outside 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 For it does not go into his heart but into his stomach; then it goes out into the latrine, thus purifying all foods.”
because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all his food.
20 He also said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles a person.
But said He, What cometh out of a man, that defileth the man;
21 For from within, from the hearts of men, come evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, murder,
for out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts,
22 theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
adulteries, fornications, murthers, thefts, avarice, malice, deceit, lasciviousness, envy, slander, pride, folly;
23 All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
all these evils come from within and defile the man.
24 Then Jesus rose from there and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know it, yet he could not escape notice.
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 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him and came and fell at his feet.
whose child was possessed by an evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell at his feet,
26 (This woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth.) She asked Jesus to cast the demon 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 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children first be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw 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 She answered him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under the table eat 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 Then he said to her, “Because of this reply, yoʋ may go; the demon has come out of yoʋr daughter.”
And He said unto her, For this saying, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she went to her house, she found the demon gone and her daughter lying in bed.
And she went away to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter laid on the bed.
31 Then Jesus came back from the region of Tyre and Sidon and went to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of the 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 Some people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on the man.
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 So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd. Then he put his fingers into the man's ears, spit, and touched the man's 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 said to him, “Ephphatha” (that is, “Be opened”).
and looking up to heaven He sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, be opened:
35 Immediately the man's ears were opened, the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking clearly.
and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake distinctly.
36 Then Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But as much as he ordered them not to do so, they proclaimed it all the more.
And He charged them to tell no one, but the more He charged them, the more they published it:
37 And they were completely astonished, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
and were exceedingly astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
