1And there are gathered together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, 2and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with common hands, that is unwashed. 3--For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, don't eat, holding the tradition of the elders; 4and [when they come] from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they don't eat; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and bronze vessels, and beds.-- 5And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why don't your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with common hands? 6And he said to them, Isaiah prophesied well of you{+} hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me. 7But in vain they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men. 8You{+} leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. 9And he said to them, Full well do you{+} reject the commandment of God, that your{+} tradition might be established. 10For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him die the death: 11but you{+} say, If a man will say to his father or his mother, That with which you might have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given [to God]; 12you{+} no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13making void the word of God by your{+} tradition, which you{+} have delivered: and many such like things you{+} do. 14And he called to him the multitude again, and said to them, Hear me all of you{+}, and understand: 15there is nothing from outside 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[] 17And when he had entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable. 18And he says to them, Are you{+} so without understanding also? Don't you{+} perceive, that whatever from outside goes into the man, [it] can't defile him; 19because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the latrine? [This he said], making all meats clean. 20And he said, That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man. 21For from inside, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22greed, wickednesses, deceit, sexual immorality, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 23all these evil things proceed from inside, and defile the man. 24And from there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid. 25But right away a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she implored him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27And he said to her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. 28But she answered and says to him, Lord, even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 29And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter. 30And she went away to her house, and found the child laid on the bed, and the demon gone out. 31And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the middle of the borders of Decapolis. 32And they bring to him one who was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they urge him to lay his hand on him. 33And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue; 34and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 35And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plain. 36And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it. 37And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, He has done all things well; he makes even the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.
