And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,
And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem, are gathered together to him,
Traditions and Commandments
Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,
Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,
and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,
they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.
(for the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding what has been delivered by the ancients;
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),
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?
And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?”
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.
And 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;
“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.
in vain do they worship me,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
[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.
You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”
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].
And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!
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, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’
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 ...
And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;
then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,
making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.
thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
What Defiles a Man
And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:

What Defiles a Person
And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand:

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.
And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
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,
And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,
because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.
And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.
For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;
coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.
All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
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.
And he said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
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, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.”
And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;
And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue.
and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”
And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.
And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.
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;
