Mark 7
1 And there were gathered unto Him the pharisees, and some of the scribes, from Jerusalem;
And the Pharisees, and some of the scholars, having come from Jerusalem, gathered in to him.
2 and when they saw some of his disciples eating with impure (that is, unwashed) hands, they found fault:
And having seen some of his disciples eating their loaves with profane hands, that is, unwashed, they accused them.
3 for the pharisees, and indeed all the Jews, do not eat till they have washed their hands thoroughly, observing the tradition of the ancients.
(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands carefully, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 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.
And coming from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they bathe. And there are many other things that they have taken in to retain: washings of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and beds.)
5 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?
Then the Pharisees and the scholars demand of him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?
6 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:
And having answered, he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far distant from me.
7 and in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the injunctions of men.
But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
8 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.
For having set aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men: washings of pots and cups and many other such like things ye do.
9 And ye expressly annul the commandment of God, that ye may retain your own tradition;
And he said to them, Well do ye reject the commandment of God, so that ye may keep your tradition.
10 for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that revileth father or mother, let him be put to death:
For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother, and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him perish in death.
11 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:
But ye say, If a man should say to his father or mother, Whatever ye might be benefited from me is Corban, that is, an offering,
12 and so ye allow him to do nothing more for his father or his mother:
then ye no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 making void the word of God by your tradition, And many such like things ye do.
annulling the word of God by your tradition that ye have delivered. And many such like things ye do.
14 And calling all the people to Him, He said unto them,
And having summoned all the people, he said to them, Hear me all of you, and understand.
15 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.
There is nothing outside the man, entering into him that can defile him, but the things coming out of him those are the things that defile the man.
16 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when He was come into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked Him concerning the meaning of the parable.
And when he entered into a house from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.
18 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?
And he says to them, Are also ye so without understanding? Do ye not perceive that everything outside that enters into the man cannot defile him,
19 because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all his food.
because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the toilet (making all foods clean)?
20 But said He, What cometh out of a man, that defileth the man;
And he said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 for out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts,
For from inside the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts,
22 adulteries, fornications, murthers, thefts, avarice, malice, deceit, lasciviousness, envy, slander, pride, folly;
covetings, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, reviling, pride, foolishness.
23 all these evils come from within and defile the man.
All these evil things come from inside, and defile the man.
24 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,
And having risen from there, he went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And having entered into a house, he wanted no man to know it, and yet he could not be hid.
25 whose child was possessed by an evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell at his feet,
For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, after hearing about him, having come, she fell down at his feet.
26 (now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, ) and she besought Him to cast out the demon from her daughter.
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.
27 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.
And Jesus said to her, Allow the children first be filled, for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the house dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto Him, True, Lord, yet the dogs under the table, eat of the children's crumbs.
But she answered and says to him, Yes, Lord, for even the house dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And He said unto her, For this saying, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
And he said to her, Because of this saying, go thou. The demon has gone out of thy daughter.
30 And she went away to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter laid on the bed.
And having departed to her house, she found the demon having gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31 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.
And again having departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee in the midst of the regions of Decapolis.
32 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.
And they bring a deaf, tongue-tied man to him, and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.
33 And He took him aside out of the croud, and He spit and put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue:
And having taken him from the multitude in private, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spat, he touched his tongue.
34 and looking up to heaven He sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, be opened:
And having looked up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake distinctly.
And straightaway his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.
36 And He charged them to tell no one, but the more He charged them, the more they published it:
And he commanded them that they should tell no man, but as much as he commanded them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it.
37 and were exceedingly astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
And they were exceedingly astonished, saying, He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.
