1. The proud religious law-keepers and some of the teachers of the Law had come from Jerusalem. They gathered around Jesus.
|
1. Then G2532 came together G4863 unto G4314 him G846 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 , and G2532 certain G5100 of the G3588 scribes G1122 , which came G2064 from G575 Jerusalem G2414 .
|
|
2. They had seen some of His followers eat bread without washing their hands.
|
2. And G2532 when they saw G1492 some G5100 of his G846 disciples G3101 eat G2068 bread G740 with defiled G2839 , that is to say G5123 , with unwashen G449 , hands G5495 , they found fault G3201 .
|
|
3. The proud religious law-keepers and all the Jews never eat until they wash their hands. They keep the teaching that was given to them by their early fathers.
|
3. For G1063 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 Jews G2453 , except G3362 they wash G3538 their hands G5495 oft G4435 , eat G2068 not G3756 , holding G2902 the G3588 tradition G3862 of the G3588 elders G4245 .
|
|
4. When they come from the stores, they never eat until they wash. There are many other teachings they keep. Some are the washing of cups and pots and pans in a special way.
|
4. And G2532 when they come from G575 the market G58 , except G3362 they wash G907 , they eat G2068 not G3756 . And G2532 many G4183 other things G243 there be G2076 , which G3739 they have received G3880 to hold G2902 , as the washing G909 of cups G4221 , and G2532 pots G3582 G2532 , brazen vessels G5473 , and G2532 of tables G2825 .
|
|
5. Then the proud religious law-keepers and the teachers of the Law asked Jesus, "Why do Your followers not obey the teaching given to them by their early fathers? They eat bread without washing their hands."
|
5. Then G1899 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 and G2532 scribes G1122 asked G1905 him G846 , Why G1302 walk G4043 not G3756 thy G4675 disciples G3101 according G2596 to the G3588 tradition G3862 of the G3588 elders G4245 , but G235 eat G2068 bread G740 with unwashen G449 hands G5495 ?
|
|
6. He said to them, "Isaiah told about you who pretend to be someone you are not. Isaiah wrote, 'These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
|
6. G1161 He G3588 answered G611 and said G2036 unto them G846 , Well G2573 hath Isaiah G2268 prophesied G4395 of G4012 you G5216 hypocrites G5273 , as G5613 it is written G1125 , This G3778 people G2992 honoreth G5091 me G3165 with their lips G5491 , but G1161 their G846 heart G2588 is far G568 G4206 from G575 me G1700 .
|
|
7. Their worship of Me is worth nothing. They teach what men say must be done.' (Isaiah 29:13)
|
7. Howbeit G1161 in vain G3155 do they worship G4576 me G3165 , teaching G1321 for doctrines G1319 the commandments G1778 of men G444 .
|
|
8. You put away the Laws of God and obey the laws made by men."
|
8. For G1063 laying aside G863 the G3588 commandment G1785 of God G2316 , ye hold G2902 the G3588 tradition G3862 of men G444 , as the washing G909 of pots G3582 and G2532 cups G4221 : and G2532 many G4183 other G243 such G5108 like things G3946 ye do G4160 .
|
|
9. Jesus said to them, "You put away the Laws of God but keep your own teaching.
|
9. And G2532 he said G3004 unto them G846 , Full well G2573 ye reject G114 the G3588 commandment G1785 of God G2316 , that G2443 ye may keep G5083 your own G5216 tradition G3862 .
|
|
10. Moses said, 'Respect your father and mother.' (Exodus 20:12) 'He who curses his father and mother will be put to death!' (Exodus 21:17)
|
10. For G1063 Moses G3475 said G2036 , Honor G5091 thy G4675 father G3962 and G2532 thy G4675 mother G3384 ; and, whoso curseth G2551 father G3962 or G2228 mother G3384 , let him die G5053 the death G2288 :
|
|
11. But you say that it is right if a man does not help his father and mother because he says he has given to God what he could have given to them.
|
11. But G1161 ye G5210 say G3004 , If G1437 a man G444 shall say G2036 to his father G3962 or G2228 mother G3384 , It is Corban G2878 , that is to say G3603 , a gift G1435 , by whatsoever G3739 G1437 thou mightest be profited G5623 by G1537 me G1700 ; he shall be free .
|
|
12. You are not making him do anything for his father and mother.
|
12. And G2532 ye suffer G863 him G846 no more G3765 to do G4160 aught G3762 for his G848 father G3962 or G2228 his G848 mother G3384 ;
|
|
13. You are putting away the Word of God to keep your own teaching. You are doing many other things like this."
|
13. Making the word of God of none effect G208 G3588 G3056 G2316 through your G5216 tradition G3862 , which G3739 ye have delivered G3860 : and G2532 many G4183 such G5108 like things G3946 do G4160 ye.
|
|
14. Jesus called the people to Him again. He said, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand this.
|
14. And G2532 when he had called G4341 all G3956 the G3588 people G3793 unto him, he said G3004 unto them G846 , Hearken G191 unto me G3450 every one G3956 of you, and G2532 understand G4920 :
|
|
15. It is not what goes into a man's mouth from the outside that makes his mind and heart sinful. It is what comes out from the inside that makes him sinful.
|
15. There is G2076 nothing G3762 from without G1855 a man G444 , that G3739 entering G1531 into G1519 him G846 can G1410 defile G2840 him G846 : but G235 the things which come G1607 out of G575 him G846 , those G1565 are G2076 they that defile G2840 the G3588 man G444 .
|
|
16. You have ears, then listen!"
|
16. If any man G1536 have G2192 ears G3775 to hear G191 , let him hear G191 .
|
|
17. He went into the house away from all the people. His followers began to ask about the picture-story.
|
17. And G2532 when G3753 he was entered G1525 into G1519 the house G3624 from G575 the G3588 people G3793 , his G846 disciples G3101 asked G1905 him G846 concerning G4012 the G3588 parable G3850 .
|
|
18. He said to them, "Do you not understand yet? Do you not under-stand that whatever goes into a man cannot make him sinful?
|
18. And G2532 he saith G3004 unto them G846 , Are G2075 ye G5210 so G3779 without understanding G801 also G2532 ? Do ye not G3756 perceive G3539 , that G3754 whatsoever thing G3956 from without G1855 entereth G1531 into G1519 the G3588 man G444 , it cannot G1410 G3756 defile G2840 him G846 ;
|
|
19. It does not go into his heart, but into his stomach and then on out of his body." In this way, He was saying that all food is clean.
|
19. Because G3754 it entereth G1531 not G3756 into G1519 his G846 heart G2588 , but G235 into G1519 the G3588 belly G2836 , and G2532 goeth out G1607 into G1519 the G3588 draught G856 , purging G2511 all G3956 meats G1033 ?
|
|
20. He said, "Whatever comes out of a man is what makes the man sinful.
|
20. And G1161 he said G3004 G3754 , That which cometh G1607 out of G1537 the G3588 man G444 , that G1565 defileth G2840 the G3588 man G444 .
|
|
21. From the inside, out of the heart of men come bad thoughts, sex sins of a married person, sex sins of a person not married, killing other people,
|
21. For G1063 from within G2081 , out of G1537 the G3588 heart G2588 of men G444 , proceed G1607 evil G2556 thoughts G1261 , adulteries G3430 , fornications G4202 , murders G5408 ,
|
|
22. stealing, wanting something that belongs to someone else, doing wrong, lying, having a desire for sex sins, having a mind that is always looking for sin, speaking against God, think-ing you are better than you are and doing foolish things.
|
22. Thefts G2829 , covetousness G4124 , wickedness G4189 , deceit G1388 , lasciviousness G766 , an evil G4190 eye G3788 , blasphemy G988 , pride G5243 , foolishness G877 :
|
|
23. All these bad things come from the inside and make the man sinful."
|
23. All G3956 these G5023 evil things G4190 come G1607 from within G2081 , and G2532 defile G2840 the G3588 man G444 .
|
|
24. Jesus went from their towns and cities to the cities of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and wanted to stay there without people knowing where He was. But He could not hide Himself.
|
24. And G2532 from thence G1564 he arose G450 , and went G565 into G1519 the G3588 borders G3181 of Tyre G5184 and G2532 Sidon G4605 , and G2532 entered G1525 into G1519 a house G3614 , and would G2309 have no man G3762 know G1097 it, but G2532 he could G1410 not G3756 be hid G2990 .
|
|
25. A woman who had a daughter with a demon heard of Him. She came and got down at His feet.
|
25. For G1063 a certain woman G1135 , whose G3739 young daughter G2365 had G2192 an unclean G169 spirit G4151 , heard G191 of G4012 him G846 , and came G2064 and fell G4363 at G4314 his G846 feet G4228 :
|
|
26. The woman was not a Jew. She was from the country of Syrophenicia. She asked Jesus if He would put the demon out of her daughter.
|
26. G1161 The G3588 woman G1135 was G2258 a Greek G1674 , a Syrophenician G4949 by nation G1085 ; and G2532 she besought G2065 him G846 that G2443 he would cast forth G1544 the G3588 devil G1140 out of G1537 her G848 daughter G2364 .
|
|
27. Jesus said to her, "Let the children have what they want first. It is wrong to take children's food and throw it to the dogs."
|
27. But G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto her G846 , Let G863 the G3588 children G5043 first G4412 be filled G5526 : for G1063 it is G2076 not G3756 meet G2570 to take G2983 the G3588 children G5043 's bread G740 , and G2532 to cast G906 it unto the G3588 dogs G2952 .
|
|
28. She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the pieces that fall from the children's table."
|
28. And G1161 she G3588 answered G611 and G2532 said G3004 unto him G846 , Yes G3483 , Lord G2962 : yet G1063 G2532 the G3588 dogs G2952 under G5270 the G3588 table G5132 eat G2068 of G575 the G3588 children G3813 's crumbs G5589 .
|
|
29. He said to her, "Because of what you have said, go your way. The demon is gone out of your daughter."
|
29. And G2532 he said G2036 unto her G846 , For G1223 this G5126 saying G3056 go thy way G5217 ; the G3588 devil G1140 is gone G1831 out of G1537 thy G4675 daughter G2364 .
|
|
30. So she went to her house and found the demon was gone and her daughter was lying on the bed. Who Could Not Hear Or Speak Well
|
30. And G2532 when she was come G565 to G1519 her G848 house G3624 , she found G2147 the G3588 devil G1140 gone out G1831 , and G2532 her daughter G2364 laid G906 upon G1909 the G3588 bed G2825 .
|
|
31. Then Jesus left the cities of Tyre and Sidon. He came back to the Sea of Galilee by way of the land of Decapolis.
|
31. And G2532 again G3825 , departing G1831 from G1537 the G3588 coasts G3725 of Tyre G5184 and G2532 Sidon G4605 , he came G2064 unto G4314 the G3588 sea G2281 of Galilee G1056 , through G303 the midst G3319 of the G3588 coasts G3725 of Decapolis G1179 .
|
|
32. They took a man to Him who could not hear or speak well. They asked Jesus to put His hand on him.
|
32. And G2532 they bring G5342 unto him G846 one that was deaf G2974 , and had an impediment in his speech G3424 ; and G2532 they beseech G3870 him G846 to G2443 put his hand upon G2007 G5495 him G846 .
|
|
33. Jesus took him away from the other people. He put His fingers into the man's ears. He spit and put His finger on the man's tongue.
|
33. And G2532 he took G618 him G846 aside G2596 G2398 from G575 the G3588 multitude G3793 , and put G906 his G848 fingers G1147 into G1519 his G846 ears G3775 , and G2532 he spit G4429 , and touched G680 his G846 tongue G1100 ;
|
|
34. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and breathed deep within. He said to the man, "Be opened!"
|
34. And G2532 looking up G308 to G1519 heaven G3772 , he sighed G4727 , and G2532 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Ephphatha G2188 , that is G3603 , Be opened G1272 .
|
|
35. At once his ears were opened. His tongue was made loose and he spoke as other people.
|
35. And G2532 straightway G2112 his G846 ears G189 were opened G1272 , and G2532 the G3588 string G1199 of his G846 tongue G1100 was loosed G3089 , and G2532 he spake G2980 plain G3723 .
|
|
36. Then Jesus told them they should tell no one. The more He told them this, the more they told what He had done.
|
36. And G2532 he charged G1291 them G846 that G2443 they should tell G2036 no man G3367 : but G1161 the more G3745 he G846 charged G1291 them G846 , so much the more G3123 a great deal G4054 they published G2784 it ;
|
|
37. They were very much surprised and wondered about it. They said, "He has done all things well. He makes those who could not hear so they can hear. He makes those who could not speak so they can speak."
|
37. And G2532 were beyond measure G5249 astonished G1605 , saying G3004 , He hath done G4160 all things G3956 well G2573 : he maketh G4160 both G2532 the G3588 deaf G2974 to hear G191 , and G2532 the G3588 dumb G216 to speak G2980 .
