< Mark 7 >

1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
και συναγονται προσ αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και τινεσ των γραμματεων ελθοντεσ απο ιεροσολυμων
2 and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
και ιδοντεσ τινασ των μαθητων αυτου κοιναισ χερσιν τουτ εστιν ανιπτοισ εσθιοντασ αρτουσ εμεμψαντο
3 Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
οι γαρ φαρισαιοι και παντεσ οι ιουδαιοι εαν μη πυγμη νιψωνται τασ χειρασ ουκ εσθιουσιν κρατουντεσ την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων
4 And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.
και απο αγορασ εαν μη βαπτισωνται ουκ εσθιουσιν και αλλα πολλα εστιν α παρελαβον κρατειν βαπτισμουσ ποτηριων και ξεστων και χαλκιων και κλινων
5 So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”
επειτα επερωτωσιν αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεισ δια τι οι μαθηται σου ου περιπατουσιν κατα την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων αλλα ανιπτοισ χερσιν εσθιουσιν τον αρτον
6 Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ οτι καλωσ προεφητευσεν ησαιασ περι υμων των υποκριτων ωσ γεγραπται ουτοσ ο λαοσ τοισ χειλεσιν με τιμα η δε καρδια αυτων πορρω απεχει απ εμου
7 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’
ματην δε σεβονται με διδασκοντεσ διδασκαλιασ ενταλματα ανθρωπων
8 You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”
αφεντεσ γαρ την εντολην του θεου κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων βαπτισμουσ ξεστων και ποτηριων και αλλα παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε
9 He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
και ελεγεν αυτοισ καλωσ αθετειτε την εντολην του θεου ινα την παραδοσιν υμων τηρησητε
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
μωσησ γαρ ειπεν τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω
11 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),
υμεισ δε λεγετε εαν ειπη ανθρωποσ τω πατρι η τη μητρι κορβαν ο εστιν δωρον ο εαν εξ εμου ωφεληθησ
12 he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
και ουκετι αφιετε αυτον ουδεν ποιησαι τω πατρι αυτου η τη μητρι αυτου
13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”
ακυρουντεσ τον λογον του θεου τη παραδοσει υμων η παρεδωκατε και παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε
14 Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:
και προσκαλεσαμενοσ παντα τον οχλον ελεγεν αυτοισ ακουετε μου παντεσ και συνιετε
15 Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”
ουδεν εστιν εξωθεν του ανθρωπου εισπορευομενον εισ αυτον ο δυναται αυτον κοινωσαι αλλα τα εκπορευομενα απ αυτου εκεινα εστιν τα κοινουντα τον ανθρωπον
ει τισ εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.
και οτε εισηλθεν εισ οικον απο του οχλου επηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου περι τησ παραβολησ
18 “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,
και λεγει αυτοισ ουτωσ και υμεισ ασυνετοι εστε ου νοειτε οτι παν το εξωθεν εισπορευομενον εισ τον ανθρωπον ου δυναται αυτον κοινωσαι
19 because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)
οτι ουκ εισπορευεται αυτου εισ την καρδιαν αλλ εισ την κοιλιαν και εισ τον αφεδρωνα εκπορευεται καθαριζον παντα τα βρωματα
20 He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him.
ελεγεν δε οτι το εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενον εκεινο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
21 For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
εσωθεν γαρ εκ τησ καρδιασ των ανθρωπων οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι εκπορευονται μοιχειαι πορνειαι φονοι
22 greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
κλοπαι πλεονεξιαι πονηριαι δολοσ ασελγεια οφθαλμοσ πονηροσ βλασφημια υπερηφανια αφροσυνη
23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”
παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εκπορευεται και κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
24 Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.
και εκειθεν αναστασ απηλθεν εισ τα μεθορια τυρου και σιδωνοσ και εισελθων εισ οικιαν ουδενα ηθελεν γνωναι και ουκ ηδυνηθη λαθειν
25 Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.
ακουσασα γαρ γυνη περι αυτου ησ ειχεν το θυγατριον αυτησ πνευμα ακαθαρτον ελθουσα προσεπεσεν προσ τουσ ποδασ αυτου
26 Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
ην δε η γυνη ελληνισ συραφοινικισσα τω γενει και ηρωτα αυτον ινα το δαιμονιον εκβαλη εκ τησ θυγατροσ αυτησ
27 “First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
ο δε ιησουσ ειπεν αυτη αφεσ πρωτον χορτασθηναι τα τεκνα ου γαρ καλον εστιν λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και βαλειν τοισ κυναριοισ
28 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
η δε απεκριθη και λεγει αυτω ναι κυριε και γαρ τα κυναρια υποκατω τησ τραπεζησ εσθιει απο των ψιχιων των παιδιων
29 Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”
και ειπεν αυτη δια τουτον τον λογον υπαγε εξεληλυθεν το δαιμονιον εκ τησ θυγατροσ σου
30 And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.
και απελθουσα εισ τον οικον αυτησ ευρεν το δαιμονιον εξεληλυθοσ και την θυγατερα βεβλημενην επι τησ κλινησ
31 Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
και παλιν εξελθων εκ των οριων τυρου και σιδωνοσ ηλθεν προσ την θαλασσαν τησ γαλιλαιασ ανα μεσον των οριων δεκαπολεωσ
32 Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.
και φερουσιν αυτω κωφον μογγιλαλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον ινα επιθη αυτω την χειρα
33 So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.
και απολαβομενοσ αυτον απο του οχλου κατ ιδιαν εβαλεν τουσ δακτυλουσ αυτου εισ τα ωτα αυτου και πτυσασ ηψατο τησ γλωσσησ αυτου
34 And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).
και αναβλεψασ εισ τον ουρανον εστεναξεν και λεγει αυτω εφφαθα ο εστιν διανοιχθητι
35 Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.
και ευθεωσ διηνοιχθησαν αυτου αι ακοαι και ελυθη ο δεσμοσ τησ γλωσσησ αυτου και ελαλει ορθωσ
36 Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
και διεστειλατο αυτοισ ινα μηδενι ειπωσιν οσον δε αυτοσ αυτοισ διεστελλετο μαλλον περισσοτερον εκηρυσσον
37 The people were utterly astonished and said, “He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
και υπερπερισσωσ εξεπλησσοντο λεγοντεσ καλωσ παντα πεποιηκεν και τουσ κωφουσ ποιει ακουειν και τουσ αλαλουσ λαλειν
