New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.
|
1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and
|
|
2 And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
|
2 saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were "unclean," that is, unwashed.
|
|
3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients.
|
3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.
|
|
4 And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots and of brazen vessels and of beds.
|
4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles. )
|
|
5 And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?
|
5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with 'unclean' hands?"
|
|
6 But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
|
6 He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: " 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
|
|
7 And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
|
7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'
|
|
8 For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.
|
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."
|
|
9 And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
|
9 And he said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!
|
|
10 For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother. And He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.
|
10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'
|
|
11 But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban (which is a gift) whatsoever is from me shall profit thee.
|
11 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban' (that is, a gift devoted to God),
|
|
12 And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,
|
12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.
|
|
13 Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
|
13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that."
|
|
14 And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all and understand.
|
14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
|
|
15 There is nothing from without a man that entering into him can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.
|
15 Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.' "
|
|
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
|
16 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.
|
|
17 And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.
|
17 "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'?
|
|
18 And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? Understand you not that every thing from without entering into a man cannot defile him:
|
18 For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")
|
|
19 Because it entereth not into his heart but goeth into his belly and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?
|
19 He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.'
|
|
20 But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.
|
20 For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
|
|
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
|
21 greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
|
|
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
|
22 All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "
|
|
23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.
|
23 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret.
|
|
24 And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it. And he could not be hid.
|
24 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an evil spirit came and fell at his feet.
|
|
25 For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.
|
25 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
|
|
26 For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
|
26 "First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
|
|
27 Who said to her: suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
|
27 "Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
|
|
28 But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
|
28 Then he told her, "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."
|
|
29 And he said to her: For this saying, go thy way. The devil is gone out of thy daughter.
|
29 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
|
|
30 And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed and that the devil was gone out.
|
30 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
|
|
31 And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst the of the coasts of Decapolis.
|
31 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man.
|
|
32 And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
|
32 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue.
|
|
33 And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears: and spitting, he touched his tongue.
|
33 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, ""Ephphatha!"" (which means, "Be opened!").
|
|
34 And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
|
34 At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
|
|
35 And immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right.
|
35 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.
|
|
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.
|
36 People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
|
|
37 And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well. He hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.
