1 And were gathered to him the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem;
2 and seeing some of the disciples of him with common hands, that is unwashed, eating loaves;
3 (the for Pharisees and all the Jews, if not with fist they may wash the hands, not they eat, holding the tradition of the elders;
4 and from a market, if not they might dip, not they eat; and other many things is, which they received to hold, dippings of cup, and of pots, and of copper vessels, and of couches);
5 then asked him the Pharisees and the scribes: Why the disciples of thee not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with common hands they eat the loaf?
6 He but answering said to them: That well prophesied Esaias about you the hypocrites, as it is written: This the people with the lips me honor, the but heart of them far off is removed from me.
7 In vain but they worship me, teaching teachings, commandments of men.
8 Leaving for the commandment of the God, you hold the tradition of the men, dippings of pots and of cups; and other similar such like many things you do.
9 And he said to them: Well you set aside the commandment of the God, that the tradition of you you may keep.
10 Moses for said: Honor the father of thee and the mother of thee; and: He cursing father or mother, a death let him die.
11 You but say: If should say man to the father or the mother, Corban (which is, a gift), whatever out of me thou mightest be profited;
12 and no more you suffer him any thing to do for the father of himself, or for the mother of himself
13 making void the word of the God for the tradition of you, which you delivered; and similar such like many things you do.
14 And having called all the crowd, he said to them: Hear me all, and be instructed.
15 Nothing is outside of the man, entering into him, which is able him to make common; but the things proceeding from him, those is the things making common the man.
16 If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he entered into a house from the crowd, asked him the disciples of him concerning the parable.
18 And he says to them: Thus also you without understanding are? Not know you, that all that without, entering into the man, not is able him to make common?
19 that not goes of it into the heart, but into the belly; and into the privy goes out, cleansing all the foods.
20 He said and: That the out of the man, proceeding forth, that makes common the man.
21 Within for out of the heart of the men the purposes the evil proceeds; adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 thefts, covetousnesses, villianies, deceit, intemperance, eye evil, evil speaking, pride, folly;
23 all these the things evil within comes forth, and makes common the man.
24 And thence arising, he went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and entering into the house, no one he wished to know; and not he was able to be concealed.
25 Having heard for a woman about him, of whom had the little daughter of herself a spirit unclean, having come fell down to the feet of him;
26 (was now the woman a Greek, a Syrophenician to the birth;) and she besought him, that the demon he would cast out of the daughter of herself.
27 The but Jesus said to her: Let alone first to be filled the children; not for good it is, to take the bread of the children, and to cast to the dogs.
28 She but answered, and says to him: Yes, sir; even for the dogs under the table eatest from of the crumbs of the children.
29 And he said to her: Through this the word go; has come out the demon from the daughter of thee.
30 And having gone into the house of her, she found the demon having gone out, and the daughter having been laid upon the bed.
31 And again coming out from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of the Galilee, through midst of the borders of Decapolis.
32 And they bring to him a deaf man a stammerer, and they entreat him that he might place to him the hand.
33 And having taken him from the crowd privately, he put the fingers of himself into the ears of him, and spitting he touched the tongue of him;
34 and looking up to the heaven, he groaned, and says to him: Ephphatha, that is, be opened.
35 And immediately were opened of him the ears; and was loosed the bond of the tongue of him, and he spoke plainly.
36 And he charged them, that no one they should tell; what but he to them charged, more abundantly they published.
37 And beyond measure they were astonished, saying: Well all (things) he has done; and the deaf ones he makes to hear, and the dumb ones to speak.
1 The Pharisees and some of the scribes came from Jerusalem to gather around Jesus.
2 They saw that some of his disciples ate their bread with unwashed defiled hands.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat until they wash their hands. They practice the tradition of the elders.
4 When they come from the marketplace they wash themselves before they eat. They follow many other rules. They wash their cups, and brass pots, and other vessels.
5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked: »Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders. Instead they eat their bread with defiled hands?«
6 He told them: »Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites. It is written: This people honor me with their lips but their heart is far from me.
7 They worship me in vain teaching as doctrines the commands of men.«
8 Speaking to the Pharisees and scribes He said: »You abandon the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
9 »You totally reject the commandment of God that you may keep your tradition.
10 »Moses said: Honor your father and your mother. He also said: He that speaks evil of father or mother must die.
11 »But you say: If a man says to his father or his mother that which would benefit you is a gift to God,
12 he no longer has to do anything for his father or mother.
13 »You make the word of God invalid by your tradition.«
14 He called the crowd again and said: »Listen and understand!
15 »Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. That which comes from inside of a man can make him unclean.
16 »If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.«
17 When he entered the house away from the crowd his disciples asked him to explain.
18 He replied: »Do you not understand? Do you not know that which goes into the man from the outside cannot defile him?
19 »It is because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach and is eliminated? All foods are clean.
20 »That which comes out of the man defiles the man.
21 »It is from the heart that evil thoughts come such as: fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, loose conduct, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
23 »All these evil things come from within and defile the man.«
24 Jesus went to the territory of Tyre and Sidon. He did not want anyone to know that he was staying in a house there. However it could not be kept a secret.
25 A woman whose little daughter had an evil spirit heard about Jesus. She went to him and bowed down.
26 The woman was a Greek Syrophoenician by race. She wanted him to drive out the demon out of her daughter.
27 He said to her: »Let the children be fed first. It is not proper to take the childrens bread and cast it to the dogs.«
28 She answered: »Yes Lord, even the dogs under the table eat from the childrens crumbs.«
29 Then he replied: »Thanks to your answer you may leave for the demon has gone out of your daughter.«
30 She went to her house and found the child on the bed with the demon gone.
31 He left the borders of Tyre through Sidon, through the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.
32 They brought a deaf man with an impediment in his speech to him and asked him to lay his hands on him.
33 Jesus took him aside from the crowd privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
34 Looking up to heaven he sighed and said to him: »Ephphatha, that is, be opened.«
35 His ears were opened. His tongue was freed and he spoke plainly.
36 Jesus told them not to tell anyone. The more he told them not to talk the more they talked.
37 They were beside themselves with amazement saying: He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak.
