1 Ja fariseukset ja muutamat kirjanoppineet, jotka olivat tulleet Jerusalemista, kokoontuivat hänen luoksensa.

2 Ja he näkivät, että muutamat hänen opetuslapsistaan söivät leipää epäpuhtailla, se on pesemättömillä, käsillä.

3 Sillä eivät fariseukset eivätkä ketkään juutalaiset syö, ennenkuin ovat tarkoin pesseet kätensä, noudattaen vanhinten perinnäissääntöä,

4 ja torilta tultuaan he eivät syö, ennenkuin ovat itseään vedellä vihmoneet; ja paljon muuta on, mitä he ovat ottaneet noudattaakseen, niinkuin maljain ja kiviastiain ja vaskiastiain pesemisiä.

7 mutta turhaan he palvelevat minua opettaen oppeja, jotka ovat ihmiskäskyjä'.

10 Sillä Mooses on sanonut: 'Kunnioita isääsi ja äitiäsi', ja: 'Joka kiroaa isäänsä tai äitiänsä, sen pitää kuolemalla kuoleman'.

11 Mutta te sanotte, että jos ihminen sanoo isälleen tai äidilleen: 'Se, minkä sinä olisit saava minulta hyväksesi, on korban' -se on uhrilahja--

12 ja niin te ette enää salli hänen antaa mitään avustusta isälleen tai äidilleen.

15 ei mikään, mikä ihmisen ulkopuolelta menee hänen sisäänsä, voi häntä saastuttaa, vaan mikä ihmisestä lähtee ulos, se saastuttaa ihmisen.

17 Ja kun hän kansasta erottuaan oli mennyt erääseen taloon, kysyivät hänen opetuslapsensa häneltä sitä vertausta.

21 Sillä sisästä, ihmisten sydämestä, lähtevät pahat ajatukset, haureudet, varkaudet, murhat,

22 aviorikokset, ahneus, häijyys, petollisuus, irstaus, pahansuonti, jumalanpilkka, ylpeys, mielettömyys.

24 Ja hän nousi ja lähti sieltä Tyyron ja Siidonin alueelle. Ja hän meni erääseen taloon eikä tahtonut, että kukaan saisi sitä tietää; mutta hän ei saanut olla salassa,

25 vaan heti kun eräs vaimo, jonka pienessä tyttäressä oli saastainen henki, kuuli hänestä, tuli hän ja lankesi hänen jalkojensa juureen.

26 Ja se vaimo oli kreikatar, syntyään syyrofoinikialainen; ja hän pyysi häntä ajamaan ulos riivaajan hänen tyttärestään.

30 Ja vaimo meni kotiinsa ja havaitsi lapsen makaavan vuoteella ja riivaajan lähteneen hänestä.

31 Ja hän lähti jälleen Tyyron alueelta ja kulkien Siidonin kautta tuli Galilean järven ääreen Dekapolin alueen keskitse.

32 Ja hänen tykönsä tuotiin kuuro, joka oli melkein mykkä, ja he pyysivät häntä panemaan kätensä hänen päälleen.

33 Niin hän otti hänet erilleen kansasta, pisti sormensa hänen korviinsa, sylki ja koski hänen kieleensä

35 Niin hänen korvansa aukenivat, ja hänen kielensä side irtautui, ja hän puhui selkeästi.

36 Ja Jeesus kielsi heitä sitä kenellekään sanomasta; mutta mitä enemmän hän heitä kielsi, sitä enemmän he julistivat.

1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem. 2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.) 5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"

6 He answered 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.

7 They worship me in vain,

teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

8 "For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things." 9 He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,"’" that is to say, given to God, 12 "then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother, 13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this."

14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand. 15 There is nothing from outside of 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 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 He said to them, "Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him, 19 because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?" 20 He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man. 21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts, 22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man."

24 From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice. 25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs."

28 But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs."

29 He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."

30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

31 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis. 32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him. 33 He took him aside from the multitude 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 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly. 36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it. 37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!"
