Tradition and Vain Worship
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,
and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.
and seeing some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands,
(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the traditions of the elders;
(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 when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of cups and pitchers and copper pots.)
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),
The Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?”
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 He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS,
BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS,
BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
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.
‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’
But in vain do they worship me, teaching [as their] teachings commandments of men.
“Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition 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.
He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.
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].
“For Moses said, ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER’; and, ‘HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH’;
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, he who speaks ill of father or mother, let him surely die.
but you say, ‘If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),’
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 ...
you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;
And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother;
thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do.
The Heart of Man
After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:
What Defiles a Man
And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:
And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand:
there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.
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.
When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.
And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
And He said to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,
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,
because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” (Thus He declared all foods clean.)
because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.
And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.
thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;
“All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.”
all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.

Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice.

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.
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.
But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.
But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet
Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
And He was saying to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
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 she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children’s crumbs.”
But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
And He said to her, “Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.

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.
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.
They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him.
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.
Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva;
And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers to his ears; and having spit, he touched his tongue;
and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
and looking up to heaven he groaned, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.
And immediately his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.
And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.
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;
