Mark Chapter 7

7^:1And the Pharisees and some of-the scribes, having-come from Jerusalem, are-gathering to-him; ² and having-seen some of-the disciples of-him that they-are/were-eating [the] loaves/[the] bread[s] with-common/defiled hands ³ —for the Pharisees and all the Jews unless² they-wash the/their hands vigorously, do┘not└eat, holding-onto the tradition of-the elders; ⁴ and from (the) marketplace unless² they-bathe themselves, they-do┘not└eat, and many other-things there-are that they-received to-hold-onto, washing of-cups and pitchers and copper-pots [and bed-rolls]^ms— ⁵ and the Pharisees and the scribes began-to-ask him, “On-account-of what do┘the disciples of-you not└walk according-to the tradition of-the elders, but eat [the] bread with common/defiled hands?”

⁶ And the/he said to-them,

“Isaiah well prophesied concerning you [the] hypocrites, when he-has-written [that]^ms,

‘This [the] people honors me with the/their lips,

                        but the heart of-them is far from me;

            ⁷ but vainly they-worship me,

                        teaching as-doctrines commandments of-men.’

⁸ Having-left the commandment of-[the] God, you-hold-onto the tradition of-[the] ‘men.’”

⁹ And he-was-saying to-them, “Well you-set-aside the commandment of-[the] God in-order-that you-may-establish the tradition of-you. ¹⁰ For Moses said,

‘Honor the father of-you and the mother of-you,’

and

‘Let┘the-one speaking-evil-of father and mother

└die with death/surely-be-put-to-death.’

¹¹ But you say, ‘If (a) man says to-the/his father or the/his mother, “Corban,” (that is, “(It-is) (a) gift,”) whatever² from me you-would-be-helped, ¹² you no-longer allow him to-do nothing/anything for-the/his father or for-the/his mother,’ ¹³ annulling the word of-[the] God by-the tradition of-you which you-handed-down; and you-do many such similar-things.”

¹⁴ And having-summoned the crowd again, he-began-to-say to them, “Hear me all and understand. ¹⁵Nothing is from-outside the/a man entering into him that is-able to-defile him, but the-things coming out-of the/a man are the-things defiling the/a man.”

[[¹⁶ ]] ¹⁷ And when he-entered in (a) house from the crowd, the disciples of-him started-asking him about the parable/illustration. ¹⁸ And he-says to-them,

“Thus also you are without-understanding? Do-you┘not└know that everything [the] from-outside entering into the/a man is┘not└able to-defile him, ¹⁹ because it-does┘not└enter into the heart of-him, but into the/his stomach, and comes-out in the stool (cleansing all [the] foods)?^{” 20} And he-continued-saying [that], “The-thing coming-out of the/a man—that defiles the/a man.” ²¹ For from-inside—from the heart of-[the] men—come [the] evil [the] imaginings, fornications, thefts, murders, ²² adulteries, greed-acts, wicked-acts, deceit, sensuality, (an) evil-eye, blasphemy/slander, arrogance, foolishness; ²³ all these [the] evil-things come from-inside and defile the/a man.”

²⁴ And having-arisen from-there, he-went-away into the-regions of-Tyre. And having-entered into (a) house, he-was-wanting nobody to-know, and he-was┘not└able to-escape-notice. ²⁵ But immediately (a) woman having-heard about him, whose [the] little-daughter [of-her] was-having (an) unclean spirit, having-come, fell-down at the feet of-him. ²⁶ Now the woman was (a) Greek, (a) Syro-Phoenician by-[the] nationality; and she-kept-asking him in-order-that he-might-cast the demon out-of the daughter of-her.

²⁷ And he-was-saying to-her, “Let the children first be-fed, for it-is not good to-take the bread of-the children and to-toss (it) to-the house-dogs.”

²⁸ And the/she answered and says to-him, “Sir, even the house-dogs under the table eat from the crumbs of-the children.”

²⁹ And he-said to-her, “On-account-of this [the] word, go; the demon has-gone-out of the daughter of-you.”

³⁰ And having-gone-away into the house of-her, she-found the little-child laid on the bed and the demon gone.

³¹ And again having-come-out of the regions of-Tyre, he-went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee in-the-midst² of-the regions of-Decapolis. ³² And they-were-bringing to him (a) deaf and mute-(man), and they-were-appealing-to him in-order-that he-might-lay┘the/his hand└on him. ³³ And having-taken him away-from the crowd by himself/privately², he-put the fingers of-him into the ears of-him and, having-spit, he-touched the tongue of-him, ³⁴ and having-looked-up to the sky, he-groaned, and says to-him, “Ephphatha,” (that is, “Be-opened.”) ³⁵ And [immediately]^ms the ears of-him were-opened, and the bond of-the tongue of-him was-untied and he-began-to-speak plainly. ³⁶ And he-charged them in-order-that they-tell nobody. But as-much-as he-would-charge them, they-would-proclaim (it) more instead. ³⁷ They-were┘utterly└astonished, saying, “He-has-done all-things well; he┘even└makes the deaf to-hear and the mute to-speak.”
