And{G2532} there are gathered together{G4863} unto{G4314} him{G846} the Pharisees,{G5330} and{G2532} certain{G5100} of the scribes,{G1122} who had come{G2064} from{G575} Jerusalem,{G2414}

and{G2532} had seen{G1492} that{G5124} some{G5100} of{G3101} his{G846} disciples{G3101} ate{G2068} their bread{G740} with{G5495} defiled,{G2839} that{G5124} is,{G2076} unwashen,{G449} hands.{G5495}

(For{G1063} the Pharisees,{G5330} and{G2532} all{G3956} the Jews,{G2453} except{G1437} they wash{G3538} their hands{G5495} diligently,{G4435} eat{G2068} not,{G3756} holding{G2902} the tradition{G3862} of the elders;{G4245}

and{G2532} [when they come] from{G575} the marketplace,{G58} except{G3362} {G3361} they bathe{G907} themselves, they eat{G2068} not;{G3756} and{G2532} many{G4183} other things{G243} there are,{G2076} which{G3739} they have received{G3880} to hold,{G2902} washings{G909} of cups,{G4221} and{G2532} pots,{G3582} and{G2532} brasen vessels.){G5473}

And{G2532} the Pharisees{G5330} and{G2532} the scribes{G1122} ask{G1905} him,{G1223} Why{G5101} walk{G4043} not{G3756} thy{G4675} disciples{G3101} according to{G2596} the tradition{G3862} of the elders,{G4245} but{G235} eat{G2068} their bread{G740} with{G5495} defiled{G449} hands?{G5495}

And{G1161} he{G611} said{G2036} unto them,{G3754} Well{G2573} did{G4395} Isaiah{G2268} prophesy{G4395} of{G4012} you{G5216} hypocrites,{G5273} as{G5613} it is written,{G1125} This{G3778} people{G2992} honoreth{G5091} me{G3165} with{G5491} their lips,{G5491} But{G1161} their{G846} heart{G2588} is{G568} far{G4206} from{G575} me.{G1700}

But{G1161} in vain{G3155} do they worship{G4576} me,{G3165} Teaching{G1321} [as their] doctrines{G1319} the precepts{G1778} of men.{G444}

Ye{G1063} leave{G863} the commandment{G1785} of God,{G2316} and{G2532} hold{G2902} fast the tradition{G3862} of men.{G444}

And{G2532} he said{G3004} unto them,{G846} Full well{G2573} do ye reject{G114} the commandment{G1785} of God,{G2316} that{G2443} ye may keep{G5083} your{G5216} tradition.{G3862}

For{G1063} Moses{G3475} said,{G2036} Honor{G5091} thy{G4675} father{G3962} and{G2532} thy{G4675} mother;{G3384} and,{G2532} He that speaketh evil{G2551} of father{G3962} or{G2228} mother,{G3384} let him die{G5053} the death:{G2288}

but{G1161} ye{G5210} say,{G3004} If{G1437} a man{G444} shall say{G2036} to his father{G3962} or{G2228} his mother,{G3384} That{G3739} wherewith{G1437} thou mightest have been profited{G5623} by{G3739} me{G1700} is Corban,{G2878} that{G3739} is to say,{G2076} Given{G1435} [to God];

ye{G2532} no longer{G3765} suffer{G863} him{G846} to do{G4160} aught{G3762} for{G3962} his{G846} father{G3962} or{G2228} his{G846} mother;{G3384}

making{G208} void{G208} the word{G3056} of God{G2316} by your{G5216} tradition,{G3862} which{G3739} ye have delivered:{G3860} and{G2532} many{G4183} such{G5108} like things{G3946} ye do.{G4160}

And{G2532} he called{G4341} to him the{G3956} multitude{G3793} again, and said{G3004} unto them,{G846} Hear{G191} me{G3450} all{G3956} of you, and{G2532} understand:{G4920}

there is{G2076} nothing{G3762} from without{G1855} the man,{G444} that{G3739} going{G1531} into{G1519} him{G846} can{G1410} defile{G2840} him;{G846} but{G235} the things which proceed out{G1607} of{G575} the man{G846} are those{G1565} that{G2076} defile{G2840} the man.{G444}

And{G2532} when{G3753} he was entered{G1525} into{G1519} the house{G3624} from{G575} the multitude,{G3793} his{G846} disciples{G3101} asked{G1905} of him{G846} the{G4012} parable.{G3850}

And{G2532} he saith{G3004} unto them,{G846} Are{G2075} ye{G5210} so{G3779} without understanding{G801} also?{G2532} Perceive{G3539} ye{G3539} not,{G3756} that{G3754} whatsoever{G3956} from without{G1855} goeth{G1531} into{G1519} the man,{G444} [it] {G1410} cannot{G3756} defile{G2840} him;{G846}

because{G3754} it goeth{G1531} not{G3756} into{G1519} his{G846} heart,{G2588} but{G235} into{G1519} his belly,{G2836} and{G2532} goeth out{G1607} into{G1519} the draught?{G856} [This he said], making{G2511} all{G3956} meats{G1033} clean.

And{G1161} he said,{G3754} That which proceedeth out{G1607} of{G1537} the man,{G444} that{G1565} defileth{G2840} the man.{G444}

For{G1063} from within,{G2081} out{G1537} of the heart{G2588} of men,{G444} evil{G2556} thoughts{G1261} proceed,{G1607} fornications,{G4202} thefts,{G2829} murders,{G5408} adulteries,{G3430}

covetings,{G4124} wickednesses,{G4189} deceit,{G1388} lasciviousness,{G766} an{G3788} evil{G4189} eye,{G3788} railing,{G988} pride,{G5243} foolishness:{G877}

all{G3956} these{G5023} evil things{G4190} proceed{G1607} from within,{G2081} and{G2532} defile{G2840} the man.{G444}

And{G2532} from thence{G1564} he arose,{G450} and went{G565} away into{G1519} the borders{G3181} of Tyre{G5184} and{G2532} Sidon.{G4605} And{G2532} he entered{G1525} into{G1519} a house,{G3614} and would have{G2309} no man{G3762} know{G1097} it; and{G2532} he could{G1410} not{G3756} be hid.{G2990}

But{G1063} straightway a{G1135} woman,{G1135} whose{G3739} little daughter{G2365} had{G2192} an{G4151} unclean{G169} spirit,{G4151} having{G2192} heard{G191} of{G4012} him,{G846} came{G2064} and fell{G4363} down at{G4314} his{G846} feet.{G4228}

Now the woman{G1135} was{G2258} a Greek,{G1674} a Syrophoenician{G4949} by race.{G1085} And{G2532} she besought{G2065} him{G846} that{G2443} he would cast forth{G1544} the demon{G1140} out{G1537} of{G2364} her{G846} daughter.{G2364}

And{G1161} he{G2424} said{G2036} unto her,{G846} Let{G863} the children{G5043} first{G4412} be filled:{G5526} for{G1063} it is{G2076} not{G3756} meet{G2570} to take{G2983} the children's{G5043} bread{G740} and{G2532} cast{G906} it to the dogs.{G2952}

But{G1161} she answered{G611} and{G2532} saith{G3004} unto him,{G846} Yea,{G3483} Lord;{G2532} even{G1063} the dogs{G2952} under{G5270} the table{G5132} eat{G2068} of{G575} the children's{G3813} crumbs.{G5589}

And{G2532} he said{G2036} unto her,{G846} For{G1223} this{G5126} saying{G3056} go thy way;{G5217} the demon{G1140} is gone out{G1831} of{G1537} thy{G4675} daughter.{G2364}

And{G2532} she went{G565} away unto{G1519} her{G846} house,{G3624} and{G2532} found{G2147} the child laid{G906} upon{G1909} the bed,{G2825} and{G2532} the demon{G1140} gone out.{G1831}

And{G2532} again{G3825} he went{G1831} out from{G1537} the borders{G3725} of Tyre,{G5184} and{G2532} came{G2064} through Sidon{G4605} unto{G4314} the sea{G2281} of Galilee,{G1056} through{G303} the midst{G3319} of the borders{G3725} of Decapolis.{G1179}

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} lay{G2007} his hand{G5495} upon{G2007} him.{G846}

And{G2532} he took{G618} him{G846} aside{G2596} {G2398} from{G575} the multitude{G3793} privately, and put{G906} his{G846} fingers{G1147} into{G1519} his{G846} ears,{G3775} and{G2532} he spat,{G4429} and touched{G680} his{G846} tongue;{G1100}

and{G2532} looking up{G308} to{G1519} heaven,{G3772} he sighed,{G4727} and{G2532} saith{G3004} unto him,{G846} Ephphatha,{G2188} that{G3739} is,{G2076} Be opened.{G1272}

And{G2532} {G2112} his{G846} ears{G189} were opened,{G1272} and{G2532} the bond{G1199} of{G1100} his{G846} tongue{G1100} was loosed,{G3089} and{G2532} he spake{G2980} plain.{G3723}

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.

And{G2532} they were{G1605} beyond measure{G5249} astonished,{G1605} saying,{G3004} He hath done{G4160} all things{G3956} well;{G2573} he maketh{G4160} even{G2532} the deaf{G2974} to hear,{G191} and{G2532} the dumb{G216} to speak.{G2980}
