< Mark 7 >

1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
και συναγονται προσ αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και τινεσ των γραμματεων ελθοντεσ απο ιεροσολυμων
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
και ιδοντεσ τινασ των μαθητων αυτου κοιναισ χερσιν τουτ εστιν ανιπτοισ εσθιοντασ αρτουσ εμεμψαντο
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.
οι γαρ φαρισαιοι και παντεσ οι ιουδαιοι εαν μη πυγμη νιψωνται τασ χειρασ ουκ εσθιουσιν κρατουντεσ την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων
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.)
και απο αγορασ εαν μη βαπτισωνται ουκ εσθιουσιν και αλλα πολλα εστιν α παρελαβον κρατειν βαπτισμουσ ποτηριων και ξεστων και χαλκιων και κλινων
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?”
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, “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.
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 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.”
αφεντεσ γαρ την εντολην του θεου κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων βαπτισμουσ ξεστων και ποτηριων και αλλα παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε
9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, 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 your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him 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, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,
υμεισ δε λεγετε εαν ειπη ανθρωποσ τω πατρι η τη μητρι κορβαν ο εστιν δωρον ο εαν εξ εμου ωφεληθησ
12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
και ουκετι αφιετε αυτον ουδεν ποιησαι τω πατρι αυτου η τη μητρι αυτου
13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
ακυρουντεσ τον λογον του θεου τη παραδοσει υμων η παρεδωκατε και παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε
14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
και προσκαλεσαμενοσ παντα τον οχλον ελεγεν αυτοισ ακουετε μου παντεσ και συνιετε
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.
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 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, 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, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t 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 doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
οτι ουκ εισπορευεται αυτου εισ την καρδιαν αλλ εισ την κοιλιαν και εισ τον αφεδρωνα εκπορευεται καθαριζον παντα τα βρωματα
20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
ελεγεν δε οτι το εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενον εκεινο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
εσωθεν γαρ εκ τησ καρδιασ των ανθρωπων οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι εκπορευονται μοιχειαι πορνειαι φονοι
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
κλοπαι πλεονεξιαι πονηριαι δολοσ ασελγεια οφθαλμοσ πονηροσ βλασφημια υπερηφανια αφροσυνη
23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εκπορευεται και κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
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.
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, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
ακουσασα γαρ γυνη περι αυτου ησ ειχεν το θυγατριον αυτησ πνευμα ακαθαρτον ελθουσα προσεπεσεν προσ τουσ ποδασ αυτου
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would 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 be filled first, for it is not appropriate 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 But 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 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
και ειπεν αυτη δια τουτον τον λογον υπαγε εξεληλυθεν το δαιμονιον εκ τησ θυγατροσ σου
30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
και απελθουσα εισ τον οικον αυτησ ευρεν το δαιμονιον εξεληλυθοσ και την θυγατερα βεβλημενην επι τησ κλινησ
31 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis.
και παλιν εξελθων εκ των οριων τυρου και σιδωνοσ ηλθεν προσ την θαλασσαν τησ γαλιλαιασ ανα μεσον των οριων δεκαπολεωσ
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.
και φερουσιν αυτω κωφον μογγιλαλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον ινα επιθη αυτω την χειρα
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
και απολαβομενοσ αυτον απο του οχλου κατ ιδιαν εβαλεν τουσ δακτυλουσ αυτου εισ τα ωτα αυτου και πτυσασ ηψατο τησ γλωσσησ αυτου
34 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 his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
και ευθεωσ διηνοιχθησαν αυτου αι ακοαι και ελυθη ο δεσμοσ τησ γλωσσησ αυτου και ελαλει ορθωσ
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
και διεστειλατο αυτοισ ινα μηδενι ειπωσιν οσον δε αυτοσ αυτοισ διεστελλετο μαλλον περισσοτερον εκηρυσσον
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “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
