King James Version
Then the Pharisees and some
of the scribes who
had
come
from Jerusalem gathered
around
Jesus,
Then came
together
unto
him
the Pharisees ,
and certain
of the scribes ,
which
came
from Jerusalem .
and they saw some of His disciples eating
with hands
that
were
defiled —
that is, unwashed
.
And when
they saw some of his disciples eat
bread
with defiled ,
that is to
say
, with
unwashen,
hands,
they
found
fault
.
Now
in
holding
to
the
tradition
of
the
elders,
the Pharisees and all the Jews do
not
eat
until
they wash their hands ceremonially
.
For
the Pharisees ,
and all the Jews ,
except
they wash their hands oft,
eat
not,
holding
the
tradition
of
the
elders
.
And on
returning
from the market, they
do
not
eat
unless
they wash. And there
are
many other traditions
for
them
to observe
, including
the washing of cups, pitchers
, kettles
, and couches
for
dining
.
And when
they
come
from the market, except
they wash ,
they
eat
not
. And many other things
there
be,
which
they
have
received
to hold
, as
the washing of cups, and
pots
, brasen
vessels
, and of
tables
.
So
the Pharisees and scribes questioned
Jesus:
“
Why do
Your
disciples
not
walk according to the tradition of the elders ?
Instead
, they
eat with defiled
hands .”
Then
the Pharisees and scribes asked
him,
Why walk not
thy
disciples
according to the tradition of the elders, but
eat bread
with unwashen
hands ?
Jesus
answered them, “Isaiah
prophesied correctly
about
you hypocrites, as it is written :
‘These
people honor
Me with their lips, but their hearts
are
far from Me.
He
answered and
said
unto
them, Well
hath
Esaias
prophesied of
you hypocrites, as it is written ,
This
people honoureth
me with their lips, but their heart
is
far from me.
They
worship
Me
in vain ;
they teach
as
doctrine
the precepts
of men. ’
Howbeit
in vain do
they worship
me,
teaching
for
doctrines
the commandments
of men.
You
have
disregarded
the commandment of God to
keep
the tradition of men. ”
For
laying
aside
the commandment of God ,
ye
hold
the tradition of men ,
as
the
washing
of
pots
and
cups:
and
many
other
such
like
things
ye
do
.
He went
on
to
say
, “You
neatly
set
aside
the command
of God to
maintain
your own tradition.
And
he said
unto
them
, Full
well
ye
reject
the commandment
of God ,
that
ye
may
keep
your own tradition.
For Moses said, ‘Honor
your
father and your
mother ’
and ‘Anyone
who
curses
his
father or mother must
be
put
to
death .’
For Moses said, Honour
thy
father and thy
mother ;
and ,
Whoso
curseth
father or mother ,
let
him
die
the
death :
But you
say that
if a man says
to his father or mother, ‘Whatever
you
would
have
received
from
me
is Corban ’
(
that is, a gift devoted
to
God)
,
But ye
say ,
If a man shall
say
to his father or mother, It
is Corban ,
that is to
say
, a gift, by
whatsoever
thou
mightest
be
profited
by
me;
he
shall
be
free.
he
is
no longer
permitted
to do anything
for his father or mother .
And
ye
suffer
him
no more
to do ought
for his father or his
mother ;
Thus
you
nullify
the word of God by
the
tradition you
have handed
down.
And you
do
so
in
many such matters
. ”
Making
the word of God of
none
effect
through
your
tradition ,
which
ye
have delivered:
and many such like
things
do
ye
.
Once
again
Jesus
called the crowd
to
Him and
said, “All
of you, listen
to
Me
and understand:
And
when
he
had
called all
the people
unto
him ,
he
said unto
them
, Hearken
unto
me
every
one
of you, and understand:
Nothing that
enters
a man from
the
outside
can defile him ;
but the things that
come out of a
man
, these
are what
defile him
. ”
There
is
nothing from
without
a man ,
that
entering
into
him
can defile him :
but the things which
come out of him
, those
are they
that
defile the
man
.

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
After
Jesus
had
left
the
crowd
and gone
into the house, His disciples inquired
about
the parable.
And when
he
was
entered
into the house from
the
people
, his disciples asked
him
concerning
the parable.
“
Are you
still
so dull
? ”
He
asked.
“
Do you
not understand?
Nothing
that enters
a
man
from the outside
can
defile him ,
And
he
saith
unto
them,
Are ye
so without
understanding
also
? Do ye
not perceive,
that whatsoever
thing
from without
entereth
into
the man,
it
cannot
defile him ;
because it does
not enter
his heart, but it
goes
into the stomach
and then
is
eliminated.”
(Thus
all foods
are
clean.)
Because it entereth
not into
his heart, but into the belly,
and goeth
out
into
the
draught,
purging
all meats?
He continued:
“What
comes
out of a
man, that is
what
defiles
him
.
And
he said,
That
which
cometh
out of the
man, that defileth
the
man
.
For from within the hearts
of men come
evil thoughts, sexual
immorality,
theft
, murder
, adultery
,
For from within ,
out
of
the heart
of men ,
proceed
evil thoughts, adulteries
, fornications
, murders
,
greed
, wickedness, deceit, debauchery
, envy
, slander
, arrogance
, and
foolishness .
Thefts
, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness
, an
evil
eye
, blasphemy
, pride
, foolishness :
All these evils
come from within, and these
are
what
defile a
man. ”
All these evil
things
come from within, and defile the
man.
Jesus
left
that
place
and went to
the region
of Tyre .
Not
wanting
anyone
to
know
He
was
there
, He
entered a
house, but was
unable
to
escape
their
notice
.
And from
thence
he
arose,
and
went into
the borders
of Tyre and
Sidon
, and
entered into
an
house, and
would
have
no
man
know
it:
but he
could
not
be
hid
.
Instead,
a woman whose little
daughter had an unclean spirit soon
heard about
Jesus
, and she
came and fell at His feet .
For
a certain
woman ,
whose young
daughter had an unclean spirit ,
heard of
him
, and came and fell at his feet :
Now
she
was a Greek woman
of
Syrophoenician
origin
, and she kept
asking
Jesus
to
drive
the demon
out of her daughter.
The
woman
was a Greek, a
Syrophenician
by
nation;
and she besought
him
that
he
would
cast
forth
the devil
out of her daughter.
“First
let the children have
their
fill,”
He
said.
“
For it is not right
to take the children’s
bread and toss
it
to the dogs. ”
But
Jesus
said
unto
her,
Let the children first
be
filled:
for it is not meet
to take the children's
bread ,
and to cast
it
unto
the dogs.
“
Yes, Lord ,”
she
replied,
“even
the dogs under the table eat the children’s
crumbs. ”
And
she
answered
and
said
unto
him,
Yes, Lord :
yet
the dogs under the table eat of
the children's
crumbs.
Then
Jesus
told
her, “Because
of
this answer,
you
may
go .
The demon
has
left
your
daughter. ”
And
he
said
unto
her, For
this saying
go thy
way;
the devil
is
gone
out
of
thy
daughter.
And she went
home
and
found
her child
lying
on
the bed
, and the demon
was
gone
.
And when
she was
come
to
her house,
she
found
the devil
gone
out
, and her
daughter
laid
upon
the bed
.
Then
Jesus
left
the region
of Tyre and went
through
Sidon to
the Sea of Galilee and
into
the region
of the Decapolis.
And
again,
departing
from
the coasts
of Tyre and Sidon ,
he
came
unto
the sea of Galilee ,
through
the midst
of the coasts
of
Decapolis.
Some
people
brought
to
Him a
man
who
was deaf and
hardly
able
to
speak
, and they begged
Jesus
to place
His hand on
him.
And
they
bring
unto
him one
that
was deaf, and had
an
impediment
in
his
speech;
and
they beseech
him
to put
his hand upon
him.
So
Jesus
took him aside privately,
away
from the crowd
, and put His fingers into the
man’s
ears .
Then
He spit and touched the
man’s
tongue .
And
he
took him aside from the multitude
, and put his fingers into his
ears ,
and
he spit ,
and touched his
tongue ;
And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply
and said
to
him, “
Ephphatha !”
(which
means
, “
Be opened !”)
.
And looking up to heaven, he sighed ,
and saith
unto
him, Ephphatha, that
is,
Be opened.
Immediately
the
man’s
ears were opened and his tongue was released
, and he began
to
speak
plainly
.
And
straightway
his
ears were opened ,
and the
string
of
his tongue was loosed
, and he spake
plain
.
Jesus
ordered
them not
to
tell anyone.
But the more He ordered
them, the more widely
they proclaimed
it .
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 ;
The
people
were utterly
astonished and
said
, “
He has
done all things well !
He makes
even
the deaf hear and the mute
speak !”
And
were beyond
measure
astonished, saying,
He hath
done all things well :
he maketh
both
the deaf to
hear ,
and the dumb
to
speak .
