1 Then came to­geth­er unto him the Phar­isees, and cer­tain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. 2 And when they saw some of his dis­ci­ples eat bread with de­filed, that is to say, with un­washen, hands, they found fault. 3 For the Phar­isees, and all the Jews, ex­cept they wash their hands oft, eat not, hold­ing the tra­di­tion of the el­ders. 4 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. 5 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? 6 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. 7 How­beit in vain do they wor­ship me, teach­ing for doc­trines the com­mand­ments of men. 8 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. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye re­ject the com­mand­ment of God, that ye may keep your own tra­di­tion. 10 For Moses said, Hon­our thy fa­ther and thy moth­er; and, Whoso curseth fa­ther or moth­er, let him die the death: 11 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. 12 And ye suf­fer him no more to do ought for his fa­ther or his moth­er; 13 Mak­ing the word of God of none ef­fect through your tra­di­tion, which ye have de­liv­ered: and many such like things do ye. 14 And when he had called all the peo­ple un­to him, he said unto them, Hear­ken unto me ev­ery one of you, and un­der­stand: 15 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. 16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 17 And when he was en­tered into the house from the peo­ple, his dis­ci­ples asked him con­cern­ing the para­ble. 18 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; 19 Be­cause it en­tereth not into his heart, but into the bel­ly, and goeth out into the draught, purg­ing all meats? 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that de­fileth the man. 21 For from with­in, out of the heart of men, pro­ceed evil thoughts, adul­ter­ies, for­ni­ca­tions, mur­ders, 22 Thefts, cov­etous­ness, wicked­ness, de­ceit, las­civ­i­ous­ness, an evil eye, blas­phe­my, pride, fool­ish­ness: 23 All these evil things come from with­in, and de­file the man. 24 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. 25 For a certain wom­an, whose young daugh­ter had an un­clean spir­it, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 26 The wom­an was a Greek, a Sy­ropheni­cian by na­tion; and she be­sought him that he would cast forth the dev­il out of her daugh­ter. 27 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. 28 And she an­swered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs un­der the table eat of the children's crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this say­ing go thy way; the dev­il is gone out of thy daugh­ter. 30 And when she was come to her house, she found the dev­il gone out, and her daugh­ter laid upon the bed. 31 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. 32 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. 33 And he took him aside from the mul­ti­tude, and put his fin­gers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 34 And look­ing up to heav­en, he sighed, and saith unto him, Eph­phatha, that is, Be opened. 35 And straight­way his ears were opened, and the string 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 were be­yond mea­sure as­ton­ished, say­ing, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
