< Mark 7 >

1 Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem were gathered around Jesus.
και συναγονται προσ αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και τινεσ των γραμματεων ελθοντεσ απο ιεροσολυμων
2 When they saw some of his disciples eating bread with hands that were defiled (that is, unwashed), they criticized them.
και ιδοντεσ τινασ των μαθητων αυτου κοιναισ χερσιν τουτ εστιν ανιπτοισ εσθιοντασ αρτουσ εμεμψαντο
3 (For none of the Pharisees or Jews eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders.
οι γαρ φαρισαιοι και παντεσ οι ιουδαιοι εαν μη πυγμη νιψωνται τασ χειρασ ουκ εσθιουσιν κρατουντεσ την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων
4 And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed. There are also many other traditions they observe, such as the washing of cups, pots, copper vessels, and dining couches.)
και απο αγορασ εαν μη βαπτισωνται ουκ εσθιουσιν και αλλα πολλα εστιν α παρελαβον κρατειν βαπτισμουσ ποτηριων και ξεστων και χαλκιων και κλινων
5 Now the Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, “Why do yoʋr disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed 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 He answered them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is 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, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
ματην δε σεβονται με διδασκοντεσ διδασκαλιασ ενταλματα ανθρωπων
8 For you have neglected the commandment of God and are holding to the tradition of men, such as various washings of pots and cups. And you do many other similar things such as these.”
αφεντεσ γαρ την εντολην του θεου κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων βαπτισμουσ ξεστων και ποτηριων και αλλα παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε
9 Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commandment of God so that you may keep your tradition!
και ελεγεν αυτοισ καλωσ αθετειτε την εντολην του θεου ινα την παραδοσιν υμων τηρησητε
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’
μωσησ γαρ ειπεν τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω
11 But you teach that it is acceptable for a man to say to his father or mother, ‘Whatever benefit yoʋ might 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 “In this way you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother,
και ουκετι αφιετε αυτον ουδεν ποιησαι τω πατρι αυτου η τη μητρι αυτου
13 thus nullifying the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many similar things such as these.”
ακυρουντεσ τον λογον του θεου τη παραδοσει υμων η παρεδωκατε και παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε
14 Then Jesus called over the entire crowd and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand:
και προσκαλεσαμενοσ παντα τον οχλον ελεγεν αυτοισ ακουετε μου παντεσ και συνιετε
15 There is nothing outside of a person that can defile him by going into him, but the things that come out of a person 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
16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
ει τισ εχει ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into a house, his disciples asked him about the parable.
και οτε εισηλθεν εισ οικον απο του οχλου επηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου περι τησ παραβολησ
18 He said to them, “So are you also without understanding? Do you not understand that whatever goes into a person from the outside cannot 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 For it does not go into his heart but into his stomach; then it goes out into the latrine, thus purifying all foods.”
οτι ουκ εισπορευεται αυτου εισ την καρδιαν αλλ εισ την κοιλιαν και εισ τον αφεδρωνα εκπορευεται καθαριζον παντα τα βρωματα
20 He also said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles a person.
ελεγεν δε οτι το εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενον εκεινο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
21 For from within, from the hearts of men, come evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, murder,
εσωθεν γαρ εκ τησ καρδιασ των ανθρωπων οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι εκπορευονται μοιχειαι πορνειαι φονοι
22 theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
κλοπαι πλεονεξιαι πονηριαι δολοσ ασελγεια οφθαλμοσ πονηροσ βλασφημια υπερηφανια αφροσυνη
23 All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εκπορευεται και κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
24 Then Jesus rose from there and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know it, yet he could not escape notice.
και εκειθεν αναστασ απηλθεν εισ τα μεθορια τυρου και σιδωνοσ και εισελθων εισ οικιαν ουδενα ηθελεν γνωναι και ουκ ηδυνηθη λαθειν
25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him and 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 (This woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth.) She asked Jesus to cast 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 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children first be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw 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 She answered him, “Yes, Lord, yet 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 he said to her, “Because of this reply, yoʋ may go; the demon has come out of yoʋr daughter.”
και ειπεν αυτη δια τουτον τον λογον υπαγε εξεληλυθεν το δαιμονιον εκ τησ θυγατροσ σου
30 And when she went to her house, she found the demon gone and her daughter lying in bed.
και απελθουσα εισ τον οικον αυτησ ευρεν το δαιμονιον εξεληλυθοσ και την θυγατερα βεβλημενην επι τησ κλινησ
31 Then Jesus came back from the region of Tyre and Sidon and went to the Sea of Galilee, within 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 deaf man who had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on the man.
και φερουσιν αυτω κωφον μογγιλαλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον ινα επιθη αυτω την χειρα
33 So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd. Then he put his fingers into the man's ears, 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 and said to him, “Ephphatha” (that is, “Be opened”).
και αναβλεψασ εισ τον ουρανον εστεναξεν και λεγει αυτω εφφαθα ο εστιν διανοιχθητι
35 Immediately the man's ears were opened, the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking clearly.
και ευθεωσ διηνοιχθησαν αυτου αι ακοαι και ελυθη ο δεσμοσ τησ γλωσσησ αυτου και ελαλει ορθωσ
36 Then Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But as much as he ordered them not to do so, they proclaimed it all the more.
και διεστειλατο αυτοισ ινα μηδενι ειπωσιν οσον δε αυτοσ αυτοισ διεστελλετο μαλλον περισσοτερον εκηρυσσον
37 And they were completely astonished, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
και υπερπερισσωσ εξεπλησσοντο λεγοντεσ καλωσ παντα πεποιηκεν και τουσ κωφουσ ποιει ακουειν και τουσ αλαλουσ λαλειν
