1 A nd gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

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

2 a nd having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands -- that is, unwashed -- eating bread, they found fault;

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

3 f or the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

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

4 a nd, from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches.

And 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.)

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

Then 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?

6 a nd he answering said to them -- `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me;

He 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.

7 a nd in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

Howbeit in vain do they honor me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

8 f or, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'

For 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.

9 A nd he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

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

10 f or Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

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

11 a nd ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban (that is, a gift), whatever thou mayest be profited out of mine,

But 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.

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

And ye suffer him to do no more for his father or for his mother,

13 s etting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'

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

14 A nd having called near all the multitude, he said to them, `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

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

15 t here is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man.

there 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.

16 I f any hath ears to hear -- let him hear.'

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.

17 A nd when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

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

18 a nd he saith to them, `So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?

And 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?

19 b ecause it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.'

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

20 A nd he said -- `That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;

For he had said that it is what comes out of the man that defiles the man.

21 f or from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth the evil thoughts, the adulteries, the fornications, the murders,

22 t hefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;

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

23 a ll these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'

all these evil things come out from within and defile the man.

24 A nd from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,

¶ 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.

25 f or a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, --

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

26 a nd the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation -- and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.

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

27 A nd Jesus said to her, `Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'

But 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.

28 A nd she answered and saith to him, `Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.'

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

29 A nd he said to her, `Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;'

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

30 a nd having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch.

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

31 A nd again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,

¶ 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.

32 a nd they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.

And 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.

33 A nd having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

And 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;

34 a nd having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, `Ephphatha,' that is, `Be thou opened;'

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

35 a nd immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain.

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

36 A nd he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming,

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

37 a nd they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, `Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'

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