¹ Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

² 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, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

⁴ 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 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 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 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

⁸ 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 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, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

¹¹ 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 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

¹³ Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

¹⁴ And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

¹⁵ 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.

¹⁶ If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁷ And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

¹⁸ 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 the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

²⁰ And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²² Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

²⁴ 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 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

²⁶ 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 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 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 unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

³⁰ And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

³¹ 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 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 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 to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

³⁵ 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 tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

³⁷ And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

¹ Then ^G2532 came together ^G4863 unto ^G4314 him ^G846 the Pharisees, ^G5330 and ^G2532 certain ^G5100 of the scribes, ^G1122 which came ^G2064 from ^G575 Jerusalem. ^G2414

² And ^G2532 when they saw ^G1492 some ^G5100 of his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 eat ^G2068 bread ^G740 with defiled, ^G2839 that is to say, ^G5123 with unwashen, ^G449 hands, ^G5495 they found fault. ^G3201

³ For ^G1063 the Pharisees, ^G5330 and ^G2532 all ^G3956 the Jews, ^G2453 except ^G3362 they wash ^G3538 their hands ^G5495 oft, ^G4435 eat ^G2068 not, ^G3756 holding ^G2902 the tradition ^G3862 of the elders. ^G4245

⁴ And ^G2532 when they come from ^G575 the market, ^G58 except ^G3362 they wash, ^G907 they eat ^G2068 not. ^G3756 And ^G2532 many ^G4183 other things ^G243 there be, ^G2076 which ^G3739 they have received ^G3880 to hold, ^G2902 as the washing ^G909 of cups, ^G4221 and ^G2532 pots, ^{G3582 G2532} brasen vessels, ^G5473 and ^G2532 of tables. ^G2825

⁵ Then ^G1899 the Pharisees ^G5330 and ^G2532 scribes ^G1122 asked ^G1905 him, ^G846 Why ^G1302 walk ^G4043 not ^G3756 thy ^G4675 disciples ^G3101 according ^G2596 to the tradition ^G3862 of the elders, ^G4245 but ^G235 eat ^G2068 bread ^G740 with unwashen ^G449 hands? ^G5495

⁶ He answered ^G611 and ^G1161 said ^G2036 unto them, ^{G846 G3754} Well ^G2573 hath Esaias ^G2268 prophesied ^G4395 of ^G4012 you ^G5216 hypocrites, ^G5273 as ^G5613 it is written, ^G1125 This ^G3778 people ^G2992 honoureth ^G5091 me ^G3165 with their lips, ^G5491 but ^G1161 their ^G846 heart ^G2588 is ^G568 far ^G4206 from ^G575 me. ^G1700

⁷ Howbeit ^G1161 in vain ^G3155 do they worship ^G4576 me, ^G3165 teaching ^G1321 for doctrines ^G1319 the commandments ^G1778 of men. ^G444

⁸ For ^G1063 laying aside ^G863 the commandment ^G1785 of God, ^G2316 ye hold ^G2902 the tradition ^G3862 of men, ^G444 as the washing ^G909 of pots ^G3582 and ^G2532 cups: ^G4221 and ^G2532 many ^G4183 other ^G243 such ^G5108 like things ^G3946 ye do. ^G4160

⁹ And ^G2532 he said ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Full well ^G2573 ye reject ^G114 the commandment ^G1785 of God, ^G2316 that ^G2443 ye may keep ^G5083 your own ^G5216 tradition. ^G3862

¹⁰ For ^G1063 Moses ^G3475 said, ^G2036 Honour ^G5091 thy ^G4675 father ^G3962 and ^G2532 thy ^G4675 mother; ^G3384 and, ^G2532 Whoso curseth ^G2551 father ^G3962 or ^G2228 mother, ^G3384 let him die ^G5053 the death: ^G2288

¹¹ But ^G1161 ye ^G5210 say, ^G3004 If ^G1437 a man ^G444 shall say ^G2036 to his father ^G3962 or ^G2228 mother, ^G3384 It is Corban, ^G2878 that is to say, ^G3603 a gift, ^G1435 by ^G1537 whatsoever ^{G3739 G1437} thou mightest be profited by ^G5623 me; ^G1700 he shall be free.

¹² And ^G2532 ye suffer ^G863 him ^G846 no more ^G3765 to do ^G4160 ought ^G3762 for his ^G846 father ^G3962 or ^G2228 his ^G846 mother; ^G3384

¹³ Making ^G208 the word ^G3056 of God ^G2316 of none effect ^G208 through your ^G5216 tradition, ^G3862 which ^G3739 ye have delivered: ^G3860 and ^G2532 many ^G4183 such ^G5108 like things ^G3946 do ye. ^G4160

¹⁴ And ^G2532 when he had called ^G4341 all ^G3956 the people ^G3793 unto him, he said ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Hearken ^G191 unto me ^G3450 every one ^G3956 of you, and ^G2532 understand: ^G4920

¹⁵ There is ^G2076 nothing ^G3762 from without ^G1855 a man, ^G444 that ^G3739 entering ^G1531 into ^G1519 him ^G846 can ^G1410 defile ^G2840 him: ^G846 but ^G235 the things which come ^G1607 out of ^G575 him, ^G846 those ^G1565 are they ^G2076 that defile ^G2840 the man. ^G444

¹⁶ If any man ^G1536 have ^G2192 ears ^G3775 to hear, ^G191 let him hear. ^G191

¹⁷ And ^G2532 when ^G3753 he was entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 the house ^G3624 from ^G575 the people, ^G3793 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 asked ^G1905 him ^G846 concerning ^G4012 the parable. ^G3850

¹⁸ And ^G2532 he saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Are ^G2075 ye ^G5210 so ^G3779 without understanding ^G801 also? ^G2532 Do ye ^G3539 not ^G3756 perceive, ^G3539 that ^G3754 whatsoever thing ^G3956 from without ^G1855 entereth ^G1531 into ^G1519 the man, ^G444 it cannot ^{G3756 G1410} defile ^G2840 him; ^G846

¹⁹ Because ^G3754 it entereth ^G1531 not ^G3756 into ^G1519 his ^G846 heart, ^G2588 but ^G235 into ^G1519 the belly, ^G2836 and ^G2532 goeth out ^G1607 into ^G1519 the draught, ^G856 purging ^G2511 all ^G3956 meats? ^G1033

²⁰ And ^G1161 he said, ^{G3004 G3754} That which cometh ^G1607 out of ^G1537 the man, ^G444 that ^G1565 defileth ^G2840 the man. ^G444

²¹ For ^G1063 from within, ^G2081 out of ^G1537 the heart ^G2588 of men, ^G444 proceed ^G1607 evil ^G2556 thoughts, ^G1261 adulteries, ^G3430 fornications, ^G4202 murders, ^G5408

²² Thefts, ^G2829 covetousness, ^G4124 wickedness, ^G4189 deceit, ^G1388 lasciviousness, ^G766 an evil ^G4190 eye, ^G3788 blasphemy, ^G988 pride, ^G5243 foolishness: ^G877

²³ All ^G3956 these ^G5023 evil things ^G4190 come ^G1607 from within, ^G2081 and ^G2532 defile ^G2840 the man. ^G444

²⁴ And ^G2532 from thence ^G1564 he arose, ^G450 and went ^G565 into ^G1519 the borders ^G3181 of Tyre ^G5184 and ^G2532 Sidon, ^G4605 and ^G2532 entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 an house, ^G3614 and would have ^G2309 no man ^G3762 know ^G1097 it: but ^G2532 he could ^G1410 not ^G3756 be hid. ^G2990

²⁵ For ^G1063 a certain woman, ^G1135 whose ^{G3739 G846} young daughter ^G2365 had ^G2192 an unclean ^G169 spirit, ^G4151 heard ^G191 of ^G4012 him, ^G846 and came ^G2064 and fell ^G4363 at ^G4314 his ^G846 feet: ^G4228

^{26 G1161} The woman ^G1135 was ^G2258 a Greek, ^G1674 a Syrophenician ^G4949 by nation; ^G1085 and ^G2532 she besought ^G2065 him ^G846 that ^G2443 he would cast forth ^G1544 the devil ^G1140 out of ^G1537 her ^G846 daughter. ^G2364

²⁷ But ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto her, ^G846 Let ^G863 the children ^G5043 first ^G4412 be filled: ^G5526 for ^G1063 it is ^G2076 not ^G3756 meet ^G2570 to take ^G2983 the children's ^G5043 bread, ^G740 and ^G2532 to cast ^G906 it unto the dogs. ^G2952

²⁸ And ^G1161 she answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Yes, ^G3483 Lord: ^G2962 yet ^{G2532 G1063} the dogs ^G2952 under ^G5270 the table ^G5132 eat ^G2068 of ^G575 the children's ^G3813 crumbs. ^G5589

²⁹ And ^G2532 he said ^G2036 unto her, ^G846 For ^G1223 this ^G5126 saying ^G3056 go thy way; ^G5217 the devil ^G1140 is gone ^G1831 out of ^G1537 thy ^G4675 daughter. ^G2364

³⁰ And ^G2532 when she was come ^G565 to ^G1519 her ^G846 house, ^G3624 she found ^G2147 the devil ^G1140 gone out, ^G1831 and ^G2532 her daughter ^G2364 laid ^G906 upon ^G1909 the bed. ^G2825

³¹ And ^G2532 again, ^G3825 departing ^G1831 from ^G1537 the coasts ^G3725 of Tyre ^G5184 and ^G2532 Sidon, ^G4605 he came ^G2064 unto ^G4314 the sea ^G2281 of Galilee, ^G1056 through ^G303 the midst ^G3319 of the coasts ^G3725 of Decapolis. ^G1179

³² And ^G2532 they bring ^G5342 unto him ^G846 one that was deaf, ^G2974 and had an impediment in his speech; ^G3424 and ^G2532 they beseech ^G3870 him ^G846 to ^G2443 put ^G2007 his hand ^G5495 upon him. ^G846

³³ And ^G2532 he took ^G618 him ^G846 aside ^{G2596 G2398} from ^G575 the multitude, ^G3793 and put ^G906 his ^G846 fingers ^G1147 into ^G1519 his ^G846 ears, ^G3775 and ^G2532 he spit, ^G4429 and touched ^G680 his ^G846 tongue; ^G1100

³⁴ And ^G2532 looking up ^G308 to ^G1519 heaven, ^G3772 he sighed, ^G4727 and ^G2532 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Ephphatha, ^G2188 that is, ^G3603 Be opened. ^G1272

³⁵ And ^G2532 straightway ^G2112 his ^G846 ears ^G189 were opened, ^G1272 and ^G2532 the string ^G1199 of his ^G846 tongue ^G1100 was loosed, ^G3089 and ^G2532 he spake ^G2980 plain. ^G3723

³⁶ And ^G2532 he charged ^G1291 them ^G846 that ^G2443 they should tell ^G2036 no man: ^G3367 but ^G1161 the more ^G3745 he ^G846 charged ^G1291 them, ^G846 so much the more ^G3123 a great deal ^G4054 they published ^G2784 it;

³⁷ And ^G2532 were beyond measure ^G5249 astonished, ^G1605 saying, ^G3004 He hath done ^G4160 all things ^G3956 well: ^G2573 he maketh ^G4160 both ^G2532 the deaf ^G2974 to hear, ^G191 and ^G2532 the dumb ^G216 to speak. ^G2980

¹ And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

² and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

³ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;

⁴ and `when they come' from the market-place, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)

⁵ And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?

⁶ And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.

⁷ But in vain do they worship me, Teaching `as their' doctrines the precepts of men.

⁸ Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.

⁹ And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.

¹⁰ For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:

¹¹ but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given `to God';

¹² ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;

¹³ making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

¹⁴ And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:

¹⁵ there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

¹⁶ `If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.'

¹⁷ And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.

¹⁸ And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, `it' cannot defile him;

¹⁹ because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? `This he said', making all meats clean.

²⁰ And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.

²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

²² covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:

²³ all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.

²⁴ And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid.

²⁵ But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

²⁶ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷ And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

²⁸ But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the 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.

³⁰ And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.

³¹ And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

³² And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

³³ And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;

³⁴ and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

³⁵ And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

³⁶ 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 they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

---

¹ And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

² and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands -- that is, unwashed -- eating bread, they found fault;

³ for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

⁴ and, `coming' from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

⁵ Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'

⁶ and he answering said to them -- `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me;

⁷ and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

⁸ for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'

⁹ And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

¹⁰ for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

¹¹ and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), `is' whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,

¹² and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,

¹³ setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'

¹⁴ And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

¹⁵ there is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.

¹⁶ If any hath ears to hear -- let him hear.'

¹⁷ And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

¹⁸ and he saith to them, `So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?

¹⁹ because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'

²⁰ And he said -- `That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;

²¹ for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

²² thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;

²³ all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'

²⁴ And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,

²⁵ for a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, --

²⁶ and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation -- and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.

²⁷ And Jesus said to her, `Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast `it' to the little dogs.'

²⁸ And she answered and saith to him, `Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.'

²⁹ And he said to her, `Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;'

³⁰ and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch.

³¹ And again, having gone forth 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 a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.

³³ And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

³⁴ and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, `Ephphatha,' that is, `Be thou opened;'

³⁵ and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.

³⁶ And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming `it',

³⁷ and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, `Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'

---

¹ And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,

² and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,

³ (for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;

⁴ and [on coming] from the market-place, unless they are washed, they do not eat; and there are many other things which they have received to hold, the washing of cups and vessels, and brazen utensils, and couches),

⁵ then the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to what has been delivered by the ancients, but eat the bread with defiled hands?

⁶ But he answering said to them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.

⁷ But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.

⁸ [For], leaving the commandment of God, ye hold what is delivered by men [to keep] -- washings of vessels and cups, and many other such like things ye do.

⁹ And he said to them, Well do ye set aside the commandment of God, that ye may observe what is delivered by yourselves [to keep].

¹⁰ For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.

¹¹ But *ye* say, If a man say to his father or his mother, [It is] corban (that is, gift), whatsoever thou mightest have profit from me by ...

¹² And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;

¹³ making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.

¹⁴ And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:

¹⁵ There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man.

¹⁶ If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁷ And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

¹⁸ And he says to them, Are *ye* also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,

¹⁹ because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?

²⁰ And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.

²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²² thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;

²³ all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.

²⁴ And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know [it], and he could not be hid.

²⁵ But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet

²⁶ (and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷ But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

²⁸ But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even 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 is gone out of thy daughter.

³⁰ And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.

³¹ And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

³² And they bring to him a deaf [man] who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.

³³ And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;

³⁴ and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

³⁵ And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.

³⁶ And he charged them that they should speak to no one [of it]. But so much the more *he* charged them, so much the more abundantly *they* proclaimed it;

³⁷ and they were astonished above measure, saying, He does all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.

¹ Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

² Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

³ (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don't eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

⁴ They don't eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

⁵ The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"

⁶ He answered 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.

⁷ But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'

⁸ "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men--the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things."

⁹ He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

¹⁰ For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

¹¹ But you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban{Corban is a Hebrew word for an offering devoted to God.}, that is to say, given to God;"'

¹² then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

¹³ making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."

¹⁴ He called all the multitude to himself, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.

¹⁵ There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

¹⁶ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

¹⁷ When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

¹⁸ He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Don't you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can't defile him,

¹⁹ because it doesn't go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus making all foods clean?"

²⁰ He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

²¹ For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

²² covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

²⁴ From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn't want anyone to know it, but he couldn't escape notice.

²⁵ For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

²⁶ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷ But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

²⁸ But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

²⁹ He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."

³⁰ She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

³¹ Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.

³² They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

³³ He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.

³⁴ Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!"

³⁵ Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

³⁶ He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

³⁷ They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!"

---

¹ And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

² And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

³ Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:

⁴ And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

⁵ And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?

⁶ And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁷ But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

⁸ For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.

⁹ And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.

¹⁰ For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:

¹¹ But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

¹² You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother;

¹³ Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

¹⁴ And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:

¹⁵ There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

¹⁶ []

¹⁷ And when he had gone into the house away from all the people, his disciples put questions to him about the saying.

¹⁸ And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,

¹⁹ Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.

²⁰ And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.

²¹ Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

²² The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:

²³ All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean.

²⁴ And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.

²⁵ But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

²⁶ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.

²⁷ And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.

²⁸ But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.

²⁹ And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.

³⁰ And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.

³¹ And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.

³² And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

³³ And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;

³⁴ And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.

³⁵ And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.

³⁶ And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.

³⁷ And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.
