  • 1. And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,
  • 2. and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.
  • 3. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;
  • 4. and [when they come] from the market-place, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)
  • 5. And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?
  • 6. And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.
  • 7. But in vain do they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men.
  • 8. Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
  • 9. And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.
  • 10. For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:
  • 11. but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given [to God];
  • 12. ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;
  • 13. making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.
  • 14. And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:
  • 15. there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.
  • 16. [If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.]
  • 17. And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.
  • 18. And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, [it] cannot defile him;
  • 19. because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? [This he said], making all meats clean.
  • 20. And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.
  • 21. For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
  • 22. covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:
  • 23. all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
  • 24. And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid.
  • 25. But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
  • 26. Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.
  • 27. And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
  • 28. But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
  • 29. And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
  • 30. And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
  • 31. And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
  • 32. And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him.
  • 33. And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;
  • 34. and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
  • 35. And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
  • 36. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.
  • 37. And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
