Mark 7
1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,
Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,
Now when they saw some of his talmidim eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
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;
(For the Pharisees, and all Jewish people, do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the Tradition of the Elders.
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),
They do not eat when they come from the marketplace unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold to, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels and dining 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?
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your talmidim not walk according to the Tradition of the Elders, but eat their bread with unwashed 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.
He said to 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 their] teachings commandments of men.
And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
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.
"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
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].
He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.
For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
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...
But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'
12 And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;
then you no longer allow 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.
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
14 And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:
And he called the crowd to himself again, and 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.
There is nothing from outside of the person, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the person are what defile the person."
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.
When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his talmidim asked him about 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,
He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into the person from outside 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?
because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
20 And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.
He said, "That which proceeds 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,
For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.
All these evil things come 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.
From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
25 But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet
But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and 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.
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, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
But he 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 and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat 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.
He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
30 And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
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.
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Lake of Galil, through the midst of the region 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.
They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Yeshua to 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;
He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
34 and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said 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.
And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
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;
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely 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.
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
