1 And there were gathered unto Him the pharisees,
and some of the scribes, note from Jerusalem;
2 and when
they saw some of his disciples eating note with note impure
(that is, unwashed) hands, they found fault:
3 for the
pharisees, and indeed all the Jews, do not eat till they
have washed their hands note thoroughly, note observing the
tradition of the ancients.
4 And when they come from the
note market, they do not eat till they have washed. And
there are many other things, which they have received
to observe, as the washing of cups, and pots, and
brass-vessels, and note seats.
5 Then the pharisees and the
scribes ask Him, Why do not thy disciples walk according
to the tradition of the ancients, but eat note without
washing their hands?
6 But He answered note them, note Well
did Esaias prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is
written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but
their heart is note far from me:
7 note and in vain do they
worship me, teaching for doctrines the injunctions of
-- --
men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye
retain the tradition of men, as the washings of pots and
cups, and many other such like things note.
9 And note ye
note expressly annul the commandment of God, that ye
may retain your own tradition;
10 for Moses said, Honour
thy father and thy mother; and, He that revileth
father or mother, let him be put to death:
11 but ye say,
If a man tell his father or mother, That which thou
mightest be profited by from me is Corban, (that is, a
gift to the temple) it sufficeth:
12 and so ye allow him to do
nothing more for his father or his mother:
13 making void
the word of God by your tradition, note. And many such
like things ye do.
14 And calling all the people to Him, He said unto
them,
15 Hear me all of you, and understand, There is
nothing note without a man, which entring into him can
defile him: but the things proceeding from him are
those which defile a man.
16 If any one hath ears to hear,
let him hear.
17 And when He was come into the house,
away from the multitude, his disciples asked Him concerning
the meaning of the parable.
18 And He saith unto
them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye
not note know, that whatsoever from without entreth into
a man cannot defile him?
19 because it entreth not into
his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the
draught, purging all his food.
20 But said He, What
cometh out of a man, that defileth the man;
21 for note out of
the heart of men proceed evil note thoughts,
22 adulteries, fornications,
murthers, thefts, note avarice, note malice, deceit,
lasciviousness, note envy, slander, pride, folly;
23 all these
evils come from within and defile the man.
24 And He arose and went from thence to the borders of
Tyre and Sidon; and going into a house He would
have had no body know it, note but He could not be concealed:
for a woman,
25 whose note child was possessed by
an note evil spirit, having heard of Him, came and fell at
his feet,
26 (now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician
by nation,) and she besought Him to cast out the demon
from her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let
-- --
the children first be satisfied: for it is not note fit to take
the children's bread, and throw it to the note dogs.
28 And
she answered and said unto Him, True, Lord, yet the
note dogs under the table, eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And He said unto her, For this saying, go thy way,
the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And she went
away to her house, and found the demon gone out, and
her daughter laid on the bed.
31 And departing again out of the coasts of Tyre and
Sidon, He came to the sea of Galilee thro' the midst of
the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they note brought to Him a
deaf man, who had likewise an impediment in his speech,
and pray Him to put his hand upon him.
33 And He took
him aside note out of the croud, and He spit and put his
fingers into his ears, and touched his tongue:
34 and looking
up to heaven He sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha,
that is, be opened:
35 and immediately his ears
were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed,
and he spake note distinctly.
36 And He charged them to tell
no one, but note the more He charged them, the more note
they published it:
37 and were note exceedingly astonished,
saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both
the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
