Mark 7
1 And there came together to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem:
And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.
2 and when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands:
And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
3 (for the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not, unless they wash their hands carefully, because they hold the tradition of the elders:
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients:
4 and when they come from the market, they do not eat, unless they immerse themselves. And there are many other things, which they have received to hold, as the immersion of cups and pitchers and brazen vessels and beds: )
And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.
5 then the Pharisees and the scribes asked him: Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?
6 He answered and said to them: Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 In vain do they worship me, teaching precepts, the commandments of men.
And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
8 For, neglecting the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the immersion of pitchers and cups; and many other things like these you do.
For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.
9 And he said to them: Well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said: Honor your father and your mother; and, He that curses father or mother shall surely be put to death.
For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.
11 But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Whatever of mine might benefit you, is Corban, (which means, a gift, )
But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift, ) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.
12 you no longer suffer him to do any thing for his father or mother,
And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,
13 making the word of God of no effect by your tradition, which you have delivered; and many things like these you do.
Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
14 And he called the whole multitude to him, and said to them: Hear me, all of you, and understand.
And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.
15 There is nothing without that, by entering into a man, can defile him. But those things which come out of the man, defile him.
There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.
16 If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he had gone into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the dark saying.
And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.
18 And he said to them: Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing from without, by entering into a man, can defile him?
And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him:
19 Because it does not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the sink, cleansing all food.
Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?
20 And he said: What comes out of the man, is that which defiles the man.
But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders,
For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 thefts, schemes for extortion, wicked deeds, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, calumny, haughtiness, impiety.
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
23 All these evil things come forth from within, and defile the man.
All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
24 And he arose and departed thence to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and desired that no one should know it; but he could not escape notice.
And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid.
25 For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet;
For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.
26 (the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, ) and she besought him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said to her: Let the children be satisfied first; for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.
Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.
28 She answered and said to him: Yes, Lord; and yet you can help me, for the little dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
29 And he said to her: For this saying, go your way: the demon has gone out of your daughter.
And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And she went to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying upon the bed.
And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
31 And again he went out from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they brought to him a deaf man, who spoke with difficulty; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.
And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:
34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him: Ephphatha, which means, Be opened.
And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.
36 And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more earnestly they published it.
And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.
37 And they were amazed beyond measure, and said: He Las done all things well: he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.
And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
