1 ¶ Then came together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

2 w ho upon seeing some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they condemned them.

and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

3 ( For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands often, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;

4 A nd when they come from the market, unless they wash, they eat not. And there are many other things which they took upon themselves to hold such as the washing of cups and pots, brasen vessels and of tables.)

and when they come from the market-place, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)

5 T hen the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders but eat bread with unwashed hands?

And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?

6 H e answered and said unto them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.

7 H owbeit in vain do they honor me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

8 F or laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men as the washing of pots and cups, and many other such like things ye do.

Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.

9 A nd he also said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.

10 F or Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and, Whosoever curses father or mother shall most definitely die.

For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:

11 B ut ye say, It is enough if a man shall say to his father or mother, It is all Corban, (that is to say, my gift to God) whatever with which thou mightest be profited by me.

but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God;

12 A nd ye suffer him to do no more for his father or for his mother,

ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;

13 i nvalidating the word of God with your tradition, which ye have given; and many such like things do ye.

making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

14 A nd when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you and understand;

And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:

15 t here is nothing from outside the man that entering into him can defile him, but the things which come out of him, those are what defile the man.

there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

16 I f anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.

If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.

17 A nd when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.

18 A nd he said unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not understand that anything from outside that enters into the man cannot defile him?

And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him;

19 B ecause it enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and the man goes out to the privy and purges all foods.

because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean.

20 F or he had said that it is what comes out of the man that defiles the man.

And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 F or from within, out of the heart of men, come forth the evil thoughts, the adulteries, the fornications, the murders,

For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

22 t he thefts, the covetousness, the wickedness, the deceit, the lasciviousness, the evil eye, the slander, the pride, the unwiseness:

covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:

23 a ll these evil things come out from within and defile the man.

all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.

24 ¶ And from there he arose and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entering into a house, desired that no man know of it; but he could not be hid.

And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid.

25 F or a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him and came and fell at his feet;

But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

26 t he woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

27 B ut Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and to cast it unto the dogs.

And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

28 A nd she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.

But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

29 A nd he said unto her, For this word go; the demon has gone out of thy daughter.

And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.

30 A nd when she came to her house, she found that the demon had gone out, and the daughter lay upon the bed.

And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.

31 ¶ And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon unto the sea of Galilee through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

32 A nd they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.

33 A nd taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into the man’s ears; and spitting, he touched the man’s tongue with the saliva;

And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;

34 a nd looking up to heaven, he cried out, and said, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35 A nd straightway his ears were opened, and that which bound his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

36 A nd he charged them that they should tell no one; but the more he commanded them, so much more and more they published it

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.

37 a nd were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things well: he makes both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.

And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
