Mark 7

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

1And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.

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

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

2And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

2And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, 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;

3For the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients.

3Now 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:

4and [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),

4And 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.

4And 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.

5then 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?

5And 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?

5And 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?

6But 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.

6But 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.

6And 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.

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

7And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.

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

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

8For 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.

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

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

9And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.

9And 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.

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

10For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother. And He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.

10For 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:

11But 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...

11But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban (which is a gift) whatsoever is from me shall profit thee.

11But 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,

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

12And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,

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

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

13Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.

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

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

14And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all and understand.

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

15There 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.

15There 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.

15There 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.

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

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

16

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

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

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

18And 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,

18And 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:

18And 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,

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

19Because it entereth not into his heart but goeth into his belly and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?

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

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

20But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.

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

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

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

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

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

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

22The 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:

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

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

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

24And 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.

24And 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.

24And 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.

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

25For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.

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

26For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

26Now 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.

27But [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.

27Who 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.

27And 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.

28But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

28But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.

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

29And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

29And he said to her: For this saying, go thy way. The devil is gone out of thy daughter.

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

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

30And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed and that the devil was gone out.

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

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

31And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst the of the coasts of Decapolis.

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

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

32And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.

32And 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.

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

33And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears: and spitting, he touched his tongue.

33And 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;

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

34And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.

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

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

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

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

36And 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;

36And 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.

36And 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.

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

37And 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.

37And 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.
