Mark 7
1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
And there were gathered unto Him the pharisees, and some of the scribes, from Jerusalem;
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
and when they saw some of his disciples eating with impure (that is, unwashed) hands, they found fault:
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.
for the pharisees, and indeed all the Jews, do not eat till they have washed their hands thoroughly, observing the tradition of the ancients.
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.)
And when they come from the market, they do not eat till they have washed. And there are many other things, which they have received to observe, as the washing of cups, and pots, and brass-vessels, and seats.
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?”
Then the pharisees and the scribes ask Him, Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but eat without washing their hands?
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.
But He answered them, Well did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me:
7 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
and in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the injunctions of men.
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.”
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye retain the tradition of men, as the washings of pots and cups, and many other such like things.
9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
And ye expressly annul the commandment of God, that ye may retain your own tradition;
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.’
for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that revileth father or mother, let him be put to death:
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,
but ye say, If a man tell his father or mother, That which thou mightest be profited by from me is Corban, (that is, a gift to the temple) it sufficeth:
12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
and so ye allow him to do nothing more for his father or his mother:
13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
making void the word of God by your tradition, And many such like things ye do.
14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
And calling all the people to Him, He said unto them,
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.
Hear me all of you, and understand, There is nothing without a man, which entring into him can defile him: but the things proceeding from him are those which defile a man.
16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
And when He was come into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked Him concerning the meaning of the parable.
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,
And He saith unto them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not know, that whatsoever from without entreth into a man cannot defile him?
19 because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all his food.
20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
But said He, What cometh out of a man, that defileth the man;
21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
for out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts,
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
adulteries, fornications, murthers, thefts, avarice, malice, deceit, lasciviousness, envy, slander, pride, folly;
23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
all these evils come from within and defile the man.
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.
And He arose and went from thence to the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and going into a house He would have had no body know it, but He could not be concealed: for a woman,
25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
whose child was possessed by an evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell at his feet,
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
(now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, ) and she besought Him to cast out the demon from her daughter.
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.”
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not fit to take the children's bread, and throw it to the dogs.
28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
And she answered and said unto Him, True, Lord, yet the dogs under the table, eat of the children's crumbs.
29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
And He said unto her, For this saying, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
And she went away to her house, and found the demon gone out, and her daughter laid on the bed.
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.
And departing again out of the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, He came to the sea of Galilee thro' the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
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.
And they brought to Him a deaf man, who had likewise an impediment in his speech, and pray Him to put his hand upon him.
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
And He took him aside out of the croud, and He spit and put his fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue:
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
and looking up to heaven He sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, be opened:
35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake distinctly.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
And He charged them to tell no one, but the more He charged them, the more they published it:
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
and were exceedingly astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
