1 Os fariseus e alguns dos escribas vindos de Jerusalém tinham sereunido em torno dele.
2 E perceberam que alguns dos seus discípulos comiam o pão com as mãos impuras, isto é, sem as lavar.
3 {Com efeito, os fariseus e todos os judeus, apegando-se à tradição dos antigos, não comem sem lavar cuidadosamente as mãos;
4 e, quando voltam do mercado, não comem sem ter feito abluções. E há muitos outros costumes que observam por tradição, como lavar os copos, os jarros e os pratos de metal.}
5 Os fariseus e os escribas perguntaram-lhe: Por que não andam os teus discípulos conforme a tradição dos antigos, mas comem o pão com as mãos impuras?
6 Jesus disse-lhes: Isaías com muita razão profetizou de vós, hipócritas, quando escreveu: Este povo honra-me com os lábios, mas o seu coração está longe de mim.
7 Em vão, pois, me cultuam, porque ensinam doutrinas e preceitos humanos {29,13}.
8 Deixando o mandamento de Deus, vos apegais à tradição dos homens.
9 E Jesus acrescentou: Na realidade, invalidais o mandamento de Deus para estabelecer a vossa tradição.
10 Pois Moisés disse: Honra teu pai e tua mãe; e: Todo aquele que amaldiçoar pai ou mãe seja morto.
11 Vós, porém, dizeis: Se alguém disser ao pai ou à mãe: Qualquer coisa que de minha parte te pudesse ser útil é corban, isto é, oferta,
12 e já não lhe deixais fazer coisa alguma a favor de seu pai ou de sua mãe,
13 anulando a palavra de Deus por vossa tradição que vós vos transmitistes. E fazeis ainda muitas coisas semelhantes.
14 Tendo chamado de novo a turba, dizia-lhes: Ouvi-me todos, e entendei.
15 Nada há fora do homem que, entrando nele, o possa manchar; mas o que sai do homem, isso é que mancha o homem.
16 {bom entendedor meia palavra basta.}
17 Quando deixou o povo e entrou em casa, os seus discípulos perguntaram-lhe acerca da parábola.
18 Respondeu-lhes: Sois também vós assim ignorantes? Não compreendeis que tudo o que de fora entra no homem não o pode tornar impuro,
19 porque não lhe entra no coração, mas vai ao ventre e dali segue sua lei natural? Assim ele declarava puros todos os alimentos. E acrescentava:
20 Ora, o que sai do homem, isso é que mancha o homem.
21 Porque é do interior do coração dos homens que procedem os maus pensamentos: devassidões, roubos, assassinatos,
22 adultérios, cobiças, perversidades, fraudes, desonestidade, inveja, difamação, orgulho e insensatez.
23 Todos estes vícios procedem de dentro e tornam impuro o homem.
24 Em seguida, deixando aquele lugar, foi para a terra de Tiro e de Sidônia. E tendo entrado numa casa, não quis que ninguém o soubesse. Mas não pôde ficar oculto,
25 pois uma mulher, cuja filha possuía um espírito imundo, logo que soube que ele estava ali, entrou e caiu a seus pés.
26 {Essa mulher era pagã, de origem siro-fenícia.} Ora, ela suplicava-lhe que expelisse de sua filha o demônio.
27 Disse-lhe Jesus: Deixa primeiro que se fartem os filhos, porque não fica bem tomar o pão dos filhos e lançá-lo aos cães.
28 Mas ela respondeu: É verdade, Senhor; mas também os cachorrinhos debaixo da mesa comem das migalhas dos filhos.
29 Jesus respondeu-lhe: Por causa desta palavra, vai-te, que saiu o demônio de tua filha.
30 Voltou ela para casa e achou a menina deitada na cama. O demônio havia saído.
31 Ele deixou de novo as fronteiras de Tiro e foi por Sidônia ao mar da Galiléia, no meio do território da Decápole.
32 Ora, apresentaram-lhe um surdo-mudo, rogando-lhe que lhe impusesse a mão.
33 Jesus tomou-o à parte dentre o povo, pôs-lhe os dedos nos ouvidos e tocou-lhe a língua com saliva.
34 E levantou os olhos ao céu, deu um suspiro e disse-lhe: Éfeta!, que quer dizer abre-te!
35 No mesmo instante os ouvidos se lhe abriram, a prisão da língua se lhe desfez e ele falava perfeitamente.
36 Proibiu-lhes que o dissessem a alguém. Mas quanto mais lhes proibia, tanto mais o publicavam.
37 E tanto mais se admiravam, dizendo: Ele fez bem todas as coisas. Fez ouvir os surdos e falar os mudos!
1 And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,
2 And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.
3 Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:
4 And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.
5 And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?
6 And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.
8 For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.
9 And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.
10 For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:
11 But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,
12 You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.
14 And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:
15 There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.
16 []
17 And when he had gone into the house away from all the people, his disciples put questions to him about the saying.
18 And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,
19 Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.
20 And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.
21 Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,
22 The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:
23 All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean.
24 And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.
25 But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.
27 And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.
28 But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.
29 And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.
30 And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.
31 And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.
32 And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.
33 And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;
34 And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.
35 And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.
36 And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.
37 And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.
