Глава 7

1. ¶ THEN there gathered to him Pharisees and scribes who had come from Jerusalem.
2. And they saw some of his disciples eating bread with their hands unwashed, and they reproached them.
3. For all the Jews, even the Pharisees, unless their hands were washed carefully, would not eat, because they strictly observed the tradition of the elders.
4. Even the things from the market, if they were not washed, they would not eat. And there are a great many other things which they have accepted to obey, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper utensils and the bedding of dead men.
5. And the scribes and Pharisees asked him, Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with their hands unwashed?
6. He said to them, The prophet Isaiah well prophesied about you, O hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me.
7. And they worship me in vain when they teach the doctrines of the commandments of men.
8. For you have ignored the commandment of God, and you observe the tradition of men, such as the washing of cups and pots and a great many other things like these.
9. He said to them, You certainly do injustice to the commandment of God so as to sustain your own tradition.
10. For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and he who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.
11. But you say, A man may say to his father or his mother, What is left over is Corban (my offering);
12. And yet you do not let him do anything for his father or mother.
13. So you dishonor the word of God for the sake of the tradition which you have established; and you do a great many other things like these.
14. Then Jesus called all the people and said to them, Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15. There is nothing outside of a man, if it should enter into him, which can defile him; but what goes out of him, that defiles the man.
16. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
17. When Jesus entered into the house because of the people, his disciples asked him concerning that parable.
18. And he said to them, So even you find it hard to understand? Do .you not know that whatever enters into a man from outside cannot defile him?
19. Because it does not enter into his heart, but into his stomach, and then is thrown out through the intestines, thereby purifying the food.
20. It is what goes out of man which defiles the man.
21. For from within, from the hearts of men come evil thoughts, such as fornication, adultery, theft, murder,
22. Extortion, wickedness, deceit, lust, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness;
23. All these evils come from within, and they defile the man.
24. ¶ Jesus moved away from thence, and came to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and he entered into a house, and did not want any one to know about him. And yet he could not hide himself.
25. For immediately a woman heard about him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit; and she came and fell at his feet.
26. But the woman was a heathen, from Phoenicia in Syria; and she besought him to cast out the demon from her daughter.
27. And Jesus said to her, Let the children be first filled; for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.
28. But she answered, saying to him, Yes, my Lord; even the dogs eat the children’s crumbs under the tables.
29. Jesus said to her, Go your way; just because of this word, the demon has gone out of your daughter.
30. So she went to her house and found her daughter lying in bed, and the demon gone out of her.
31. ¶ Again Jesus went out from the border of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, to the border of the ten cities.
32. And they brought to him a deaf and dumb man; and they asked him to lay his hand on him.
33. So he drew him aside from the people, and put his fingers into his ears; then he spat, and touched his tongue;
34. And he looked up to heaven and sighed, and he said to him, Ethpatakh, which means, Be opened.
35. And in that very hour his ears were opened, and his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.
36. And he warned them not to tell this to any man; but the more he warned them, so much the more they published it.
37. And they were greatly astonished, saying, He does everything so well. He makes the deaf hear and the dumb to speak.
