| 1 | And the Pharisees and some of the scribes having come from Jerusalem gather together to Him. |
| 2 | And seeing some of His students, that with profane hands - that is, unwashed - they eat bread ( |
| 3 | for the Pharisees and all the Judaeans if they do not wash the hands to the elbow they do not eat, holding to the tradition of the elders, |
| 4 | and from the marketplace if they do not rinse they do not eat, and there are many other things which they undertook to hold to, washings of cups and pitchers and pots) |
| 5 | and the Pharisees and the scribes questioned Him: "For what reason do Your students not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with profane hands they eat bread?" |
| 6 | But He said to them: "Well did Isaiah prophecy concerning your hypocrisy, as it is written that 'This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts keep far from Me! |
| 7 | And vainly do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men!' |
| 8 | Leaving the commandment of Yahweh you hold to the tradition of men!" |
| 9 | And He said to them: "Well do you reject the commandment of Yahweh, that you may keep your tradition! |
| 10 | For Moses said: 'Honor your father and your mother', and 'He speaking evil of father or mother must die in sentence of death'! |
| 11 | But you say: 'If a man should say to father or mother; whatever you have benefited from me is korban (which is a gift)', |
| 12 | you no longer allow him to do anything for the father or mother, |
| 13 | rendering void the Word of Yahweh by your tradition which you have transmitted, and many such similar things which you do!" |
| 14 | And summoning the crowd again He said to them: "All must hear Me and understand! |
| 15 | There is nothing outside of the man entering into him which is able to defile him, but the things coming out from a man are the things defiling him!" |
| 16 | — |
| 17 | And when He had entered into a house away from the crowd, His students asked Him the parable. |
| 18 | And He says to them: "Thusly also are you without understanding? Do you not perceive that everything from outside entering into the man is not able to defile him |
| 19 | because it does not enter into his heart but into the belly, and it goes out into the latrine, cleansing all foods?" |
| 20 | Then He said that "That which is coming out from the man, that would defile the man. |
| 21 | For from inside of the hearts of men are evil reasonings coming out, acts of fornication, thefts, murders, |
| 22 | acts of adultery, greediness, wickedness, treachery, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, arrogance, foolishness; |
| 23 | all these wicked thing come out from inside and defile the man!" |
| 24 | And arising from there He departed for the borders of Turos and Sidon. And entering into a house He desired to know no one, yet was not able to escape notice, |
| 25 | but immediately a woman hearing about Him, of whom her daughter had an unclean spirit, having come fell to His feet, |
| 26 | and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by race, and she asked Him that He would cast out the demon from her daughter. |
| 27 | And He said to her: "Let the children be fed first, for it is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the little dogs!" |
| 28 | But she responded and says to Him "Yes, Master, yet the little dogs under the table eat from the crumbs of the children!" |
| 29 | And He said to her "On account of this word, go! The demon has departed from your daughter!" |
| 30 | And having gone off to her house she found the child cast upon a couch and the demon departed. |
| 31 | And again coming out from the borders of Turos He came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilaia midway between the borders of Dekapolis. |
| 32 | And they bring to Him a deaf and dumb man and exhorted Him that He would lay the hand upon him. |
| 33 | And taking him away from the crowd by himself, He put His finger into his ears and spitting touched his tongue, |
| 34 | and looking up to the heaven He groaned and says to him: "Ephphatha!" (which is "Be opened!"), |
| 35 | and his ear opened, and the binding of his tongue loosed and he spoke correctly. |
| 36 | And He ordered them that they should tell it to no one, but as much as He commanded them, still more abundantly they proclaimed it. |
| 37 | And they were overabundantly astonished, saying "He has done all good things! And He makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak!" |
