1 Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,
1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus
2 they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed.
2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.
3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders;
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 place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.)
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 the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?"
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 defiled hands?”

7 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.'
7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
8 You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men."
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
9 And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God, in order to keep your tradition!
9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observeyour own traditions!
10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him surely die';
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’
11 but you say, 'If a man tells his father or his mother, What you would have gained from me is Corban' (that is, given to God) --
11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—
12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,
12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.
13 thus making void the word of God through your tradition which you hand on. And many such 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 he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:
14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
15 there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."
15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”

17 And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.
18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him,
18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?
19 since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
20 And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man.
20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.
21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,
22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man."
23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
24 And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and would not have any one know it; yet he could not be hid.

25 But immediately a woman, whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell down at his feet.
25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoeni'cian by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 And he said to her, "Let the children first be fed, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
27 “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 the dogs.”
28 But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 And he said to her, "For this saying you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter."
29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”
30 And she went home, and found the child lying in bed, and the demon gone.

32 And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him.

33 And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue;
33 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.
34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Eph'phatha," that is, "Be opened."
34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).
35 And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.
35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
36 And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.
37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."
37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
