YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Then
the Pharisees and some
of the scribes who
had
come from Jerusalem gathered
around
Jesus
,
And
gathered
together
unto
him
are
the Pharisees ,
and certain
of the scribes ,
having
come from Jerusalem,
and they
saw
some
of His disciples eating
with hands
that
were
defiled —
that is, unwashed .
and having
seen
certain
of his disciples with defiled hands
--
that is, unwashed --
eating
bread,
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 ,
if
they
do not wash the
hands to
the
wrist,
do
not
eat,
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 ,
`coming'
from the market -place
, if
they do not baptize
themselves,
they do
not
eat;
and many other things
there
are
that
they
received
to hold
, baptisms
of cups, and
pots
, and
brazen
vessels
, and couches.
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
question
him
do
the Pharisees and the
scribes ,
`Wherefore
do thy
disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but
with unwashed
hands do
eat
the
bread?'
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 .
and
he
answering
said
to
them --
`Well
did
Isaiah prophesy
concerning
you ,
hypocrites, as it hath
been
written ,
This
people with the
lips doth
honor
Me
, and
their heart
is
far from Me ;
They
worship
Me
in vain ;
they teach
as
doctrine
the
precepts
of men .’
and
in vain do
they worship
Me,
teaching
teachings,
commands
of men ;
You
have
disregarded
the commandment
of God to
keep
the tradition of men. ”
for,
having
put
away
the command
of God ,
ye
hold
the tradition of men ,
baptisms
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
to them
, `Well
do
ye
put
away
the command of God that
your tradition ye
may
keep;
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 ,
He
who is
speaking
evil
of
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
),
and
ye
say ,
If a man may
say
to father or to
mother, Korban
(that is, a gift), `is'
whatever
thou
mayest
be
profited
out
of
mine,
he
is
no longer
permitted
to do anything for his father or mother .
and
no more
do
ye
suffer
him
to do anything for his father or for
his
mother ,
Thus
you
nullify
the word of God by
the
tradition you
have
handed
down.
And you
do
so
in
many such matters
. ”
setting
aside
the word of God for
your
tradition that
ye
delivered;
and many such like
things
ye
do
. '
Once
again
Jesus
called the crowd
to
Him
and
said
, “All
of
you
, listen
to Me and understand :
And
having
called near
all
the multitude
, he
said
to
them
, `Hearken
to me ,
ye
all,
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
the man
entering
into
him
that
is
able
to
defile him ,
but the things coming
out from
him
, those
are the
things
defiling
the
man
.
Not present in BSB
If any hath 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
entered
into a
house from
the
multitude
, his disciples were
questioning
him
about the simile,
“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
to
them,
`So
also
ye
are
without
understanding!
Do ye
not perceive
that nothing
from without
entering
into
the man
is
able
to
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 doth
not enter into
his heart, but into the belly,
and into
the
drain
it
doth
go
out,
purifying
all the
meats
. '
He continued:
“What
comes
out of
a
man, that is
what
defiles
him.
And
he said
--
`That
which
is
coming
out from
the
man, that doth
defile
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, the
evil
reasonings
do
come
forth
, adulteries
, whoredoms
, murders
,
greed
, wickedness, deceit, debauchery
, envy
, slander
, arrogance
, and
foolishness .
thefts
, covetous
desires,
wickedness, deceit, arrogance
, an
evil
eye
, evil
speaking
, pride
, foolishness ;
All these evils come from within, and these
are
what
defile a
man. ”
all these evils do
come forth
from within, and they
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
having
risen,
he
went away
to the borders
of Tyre and
Sidon
, and
having
entered into
the
house, he
wished
none
to
know,
and
he
was not
able
to 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 woman having
heard
about
him,
whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having
come,
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.
and
the
woman
was a Greek, a
Syro-Phenician
by
nation
--
and was
asking him,
that
the demon he
may
cast
forth
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. ”
And
Jesus
said
to
her,
`Suffer
first the children to
be
filled
, for it is not good
to take the children's
bread ,
and to
cast
`
it '
to the little
dogs. '
“Yes,
Lord,”
she replied
, “even
the dogs under the table eat the children’s
crumbs. ”
And
she answered
and
saith
to
him
, `Yes,
sir;
for
the little
dogs also
under the table do
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
to
her, `
Because of this word
go ;
the demon hath
gone
forth
out
of
thy
daughter ;'
And she went
home
and
found her
child
lying
on
the bed
, and the demon
was
gone
.
and having
come
away
to
her
house,
she found the demon
gone
forth
, and the daughter
laid
upon
the
couch
.
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,
having
gone
forth
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
to him a deaf, stuttering
man,
and they call
on
him
that
he
may
put
the
hand on 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
having
taken
him away from the multitude
by
himself
, he
put his fingers to
his
ears ,
and having
spit,
he
touched his
tongue ,
And looking
up
to heaven, He sighed deeply
and said
to him, “
Ephphatha !”
(which
means
, “
Be opened !”).
and having
looked
to the
heaven, he sighed ,
and saith
to him, `
Ephphatha, '
that
is,
`
Be thou
opened ;'
Immediately the
man’s
ears
were opened and his tongue was released
, and he began
to
speak
plainly
.
and
immediately were his
ears
opened ,
and the
string
of
his tongue was loosed
, and he was
speaking
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
may
tell no
one,
but the more he was
charging
them, the more abundantly
they were
proclaiming
`
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
they
were being
beyond
measure
astonished, saying,
`Well
hath
he done all things ;
both
the deaf he
doth
make
to
hear ,
and the dumb
to
speak .'
