Then <G2532> came together <G4863> <G5743> unto <G4314> him <G0846> the Pharisees <G5330>, and <G2532> certain <G5100> of the scribes <G1122>, which came <G2064> <G5631> from <G0575> Jerusalem <G2414>.
2
And <G2532> when they saw <G1492> <G5631> some <G5100> of his <G0846> disciples <G3101> eat <G2068> <G5723> bread <G0740> with defiled <G2839>, that is to say <G5123> <G5748>, with unwashen <G0449>, hands <G5495>, they found fault <G3201> <G5662>.
3
For <G1063> the Pharisees <G5330>, and <G2532> all <G3956> the Jews <G2453>, except <G3362> they wash <G3538> <G5672> [their] hands <G5495> oft <G4435>, eat <G2068> <G5719> not <G3756>, holding <G2902> <G5723> the tradition <G3862> of the elders <G4245>.
4
And <G2532> [when they come] from <G0575> the market <G0058>, except <G3362> they wash <G0907> <G5672>, they eat <G2068> <G5719> not <G3756>. And <G2532> many <G4183> other things <G0243> there be <G2076> <G5748>, which <G3739> they have received <G3880> <G5627> to hold <G2902> <G5721>, [as] the washing <G0909> of cups <G4221>, and <G2532> pots <G3582>, <G2532> brasen vessels <G5473>, and <G2532> of tables <G2825>.
5
Then <G1899> the Pharisees <G5330> and <G2532> scribes <G1122> asked <G1905> <G5719> him <G0846>, Why <G1302> walk <G4043> <G5719> not <G3756> thy <G4675> disciples <G3101> according <G2596> to the tradition <G3862> of the elders <G4245>, but <G0235> eat <G2068> <G5719> bread <G0740> with unwashen <G0449> hands <G5495>?
6
He answered <G0611> <G5679> and <G1161> said <G2036> <G5627> unto them <G0846>, <G3754> Well <G2573> hath Esaias <G2268> prophesied <G4395> <G5656> of <G4012> you <G5216> hypocrites <G5273>, as <G5613> it is written <G1125> <G5769>, This <G3778> people <G2992> honoureth <G5091> <G5719> me <G3165> with [their] lips <G5491>, but <G1161> their <G0846> heart <G2588> is <G0568> <G5719> far <G4206> from <G0575> me <G1700>.
7
Howbeit <G1161> in vain <G3155> do they worship <G4576> <G5736> me <G3165>, teaching <G1321> <G5723> [for] doctrines <G1319> the commandments <G1778> of men <G0444>.
8
For <G1063> laying aside <G0863> <G5631> the commandment <G1785> of God <G2316>, ye hold <G2902> <G5719> the tradition <G3862> of men <G0444>, [as] the washing <G0909> of pots <G3582> and <G2532> cups <G4221>: and <G2532> many <G4183> other <G0243> such <G5108> like things <G3946> ye do <G4160> <G5719>.
9
And <G2532> he said <G3004> <G5707> unto them <G0846>, Full well <G2573> ye reject <G0114> <G5719> the commandment <G1785> of God <G2316>, that <G2443> ye may keep <G5083> <G5661> your own <G5216> tradition <G3862>.
10
For <G1063> Moses <G3475> said <G2036> <G5627>, Honour <G5091> <G5720> thy <G4675> father <G3962> and <G2532> thy <G4675> mother <G3384>; and <G2532>, Whoso curseth <G2551> <G5723> father <G3962> or <G2228> mother <G3384>, let him die <G5053> <G5720> the death <G2288>:
11
But <G1161> ye <G5210> say <G3004> <G5719>, If <G1437> a man <G0444> shall say <G2036> <G5632> to his father <G3962> or <G2228> mother <G3384>, [It is] Corban <G2878>, that <G3603> is to say <G2076> <G5748>, a gift <G1435>, by <G1537> whatsoever <G1437> thou mightest be profited by <G5623> <G5686> me <G1700>; [he shall be free].
12
And <G2532> ye suffer <G0863> <G5719> him <G0846> no more <G3765> to do <G4160> <G5658> ought <G3762> for his <G0848> father <G3962> or <G2228> his <G0848> mother <G3384>;
13
Making <G0208> <G0000> the word <G3056> of God <G2316> of none effect <G0208> <G5723> through your <G5216> tradition <G3862>, which <G3739> ye have delivered <G3860> <G5656>: and <G2532> many <G4183> such <G5108> like things <G3946> do ye <G4160> <G5719>.
14
And <G2532> when he had called <G4341> <G5666> all <G3956> the people <G3793> [unto him], he said <G3004> <G5707> unto them <G0846>, Hearken <G0191> <G5720> unto me <G3450> every one <G3956> [of you], and <G2532> understand <G4920> <G5720>:
15
There is <G2076> <G5748> nothing <G3762> from without <G1855> a man <G0444>, that entering <G1531> <G5740> into <G1519> him <G0846> can <G1410> <G5736> defile <G2840> <G5658> him <G0846>: but <G0235> the things which come <G1607> <G5740> out of <G0575> him <G0846>, those <G1565> are they <G2076> <G5748> that defile <G2840> <G5723> the man <G0444>.
16
If any man <G1536> have <G2192> <G5719> ears <G3775> to hear <G0191> <G5721>, let him hear <G0191> <G5720>.
17
And <G2532> when <G3753> he was entered <G1525> <G5627> into <G1519> the house <G3624> from <G0575> the people <G3793>, his <G0846> disciples <G3101> asked <G1905> <G5707> him <G0846> concerning <G4012> the parable <G3850>.
18
And <G2532> he saith <G3004> <G5719> unto them <G0846>, Are <G2075> <G5748> ye <G5210> so <G3779> without understanding <G0801> also <G2532>? Do ye <G3539> <G0000> not <G3756> perceive <G3539> <G5719>, that <G3754> whatsoever thing <G3956> from without <G1855> entereth <G1531> <G5740> into <G1519> the man <G0444>, [it] cannot <G3756> <G1410> <G5736> defile <G2840> <G5658> him <G0846>;
19
Because <G3754> it entereth <G1531> <G5736> not <G3756> into <G1519> his <G0846> heart <G2588>, but <G0235> into <G1519> the belly <G2836>, and <G2532> goeth out <G1607> <G5736> into <G1519> the draught <G0856>, purging <G2511> <G5723> all <G3956> meats <G1033>?
20
And <G1161> he said <G3004> <G5707>, <G3754> That which cometh <G1607> <G5740> out of <G1537> the man <G0444>, that <G1565> defileth <G2840> <G5719> the man <G0444>.
21
For <G1063> from within <G2081>, out of <G1537> the heart <G2588> of men <G0444>, proceed <G1607> <G5736> evil <G2556> thoughts <G1261>, adulteries <G3430>, fornications <G4202>, murders <G5408>,
All <G3956> these <G5023> evil things <G4190> come <G1607> <G5736> from within <G2081>, and <G2532> defile <G2840> <G5719> the man <G0444>.
24
And <G2532> from thence <G1564> he arose <G0450> <G5631>, and went <G0565> <G5627> into <G1519> the borders <G3181> of Tyre <G5184> and <G2532> Sidon <G4605>, and <G2532> entered <G1525> <G5631> into <G1519> an house <G3614>, and would have <G2309> <G5707> no man <G3762> know <G1097> <G5629> [it]: but <G2532> he could <G1410> <G5675> not <G3756> be hid <G2990> <G5629>.
25
For <G1063> a [certain] woman <G1135>, whose <G3739> <G0846> young daughter <G2365> had <G2192> <G5707> an unclean <G0169> spirit <G4151>, heard <G0191> <G5660> of <G4012> him <G0846>, and came <G2064> <G5631> and fell <G4363> <G5627> at <G4314> his <G0846> feet <G4228>:
26
The woman <G1135> was <G2258> <G5713> a Greek <G1674>, a Syrophenician <G4949> by nation <G1085>; and <G2532> she besought <G2065> <G5707> him <G0846> that <G2443> he would cast forth <G1544> <G5725> the devil <G1140> out of <G1537> her <G0848> daughter <G2364>.
27
But <G1161> Jesus <G2424> said <G2036> <G5627> unto her <G0846>, Let <G0863> <G5628> the children <G5043> first <G4412> be filled <G5526> <G5683>: for <G1063> it is <G2076> <G5748> not <G3756> meet <G2570> to take <G2983> <G5629> the children's <G5043> bread <G0740>, and <G2532> to cast <G0906> <G5629> [it] unto the dogs <G2952>.
28
And <G1161> she answered <G0611> <G5662> and <G2532> said <G3004> <G5719> unto him <G0846>, Yes <G3483>, Lord <G2962>: yet <G2532> <G1063> the dogs <G2952> under <G5270> the table <G5132> eat <G2068> <G5719> of <G0575> the children's <G3813> crumbs <G5589>.
29
And <G2532> he said <G2036> <G5627> unto her <G0846>, For <G1223> this <G5126> saying <G3056> go thy way <G5217> <G5720>; the devil <G1140> is gone <G1831> <G5758> out of <G1537> thy <G4675> daughter <G2364>.
30
And <G2532> when she was come <G0565> <G5631> to <G1519> her <G0848> house <G3624>, she found <G2147> <G5627> the devil <G1140> gone out <G1831> <G5761>, and <G2532> her daughter <G2364> laid <G0906> <G5772> upon <G1909> the bed <G2825>.
31
And <G2532> again <G3825>, departing <G1831> <G5631> from <G1537> the coasts <G3725> of Tyre <G5184> and <G2532> Sidon <G4605>, he came <G2064> <G5627> unto <G4314> the sea <G2281> of Galilee <G1056>, through <G0303> the midst <G3319> of the coasts <G3725> of Decapolis <G1179>.
32
And <G2532> they bring <G5342> <G5719> unto him <G0846> one that was deaf <G2974>, and had an impediment in his speech <G3424>; and <G2532> they beseech <G3870> <G5719> him <G0846> to <G2443> put <G2007> <G5632> his hand <G5495> upon him <G0846>.
33
And <G2532> he took <G0618> <G5642> him <G0846> aside <G2596> <G2398> from <G0575> the multitude <G3793>, and put <G0906> <G5627> his <G0848> fingers <G1147> into <G1519> his <G0846> ears <G3775>, and <G2532> he spit <G4429> <G5660>, and touched <G0680> <G5662> his <G0846> tongue <G1100>;
34
And <G2532> looking up <G0308> <G5660> to <G1519> heaven <G3772>, he sighed <G4727> <G5656>, and <G2532> saith <G3004> <G5719> unto him <G0846>, Ephphatha <G2188>, that <G3603> is <G2076> <G5748>, Be opened <G1272> <G5682>.
35
And <G2532> straightway <G2112> his <G0846> ears <G0189> were opened <G1272> <G5681>, and <G2532> the string <G1199> of his <G0846> tongue <G1100> was loosed <G3089> <G5681>, and <G2532> he spake <G2980> <G5707> plain <G3723>.
36
And <G2532> he charged <G1291> <G5668> them <G0846> that <G2443> they should tell <G2036> <G5632> no man <G3367>: but <G1161> the more <G3745> he charged <G1291> <G5710> them <G0846>, so much the more <G3123> a great deal <G4054> they published <G2784> <G5707> [it];
37
And <G2532> were beyond measure <G5249> astonished <G1605> <G5712>, saying <G3004> <G5723>, He hath done <G4160> <G5758> all things <G3956> well <G2573>: he maketh <G4160> <G5719> both <G2532> the deaf <G2974> to hear <G0191> <G5721>, and <G2532> the dumb <G0216> to speak <G2980> <G5721>.
