Mak7:1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes came from Jerusalem together to him. [And the Pharisees and some of the scribes coming from Jerusalem, came together to him.]
Mak7:2 And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with unwashen hands, they blamed [them].
Mak7:3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not, but they wash oft their hands, holding the traditions of elder men.
Mak7:4 And when they turn again from [the] market, they eat not, but they be washed; and many other things there be, that be taken to them to keep, as washing of cups, and of water vessels [washings of cups and cruets], and of vessels of brass, and of beds.
Mak7:5 And Pharisees and scribes asked him, and said [saying], Why go not thy disciples after the tradition of elder men, but with unwashen hands they eat bread?
Mak7:6 And he answered, and said to them, Esaias prophesied well of you, hypocrites, as it is written, This people worshippeth me with lips [This people honoureth me with lips], but their heart is far from me;
Mak7:7 and in vain they worship me, teaching the doctrines and the behests of men. [in vain truly they worship me, teaching the doctrines and commandments of men.]
Mak7:8 For ye leave the commandment of God, and hold the traditions of men, as [the] washing of water vessels, and of cups; and many other things like these ye do. [Forsooth ye forsaking the commandment of God, hold the traditions of men, washings of cruets, and cups; and many other things like to these ye do.]
Mak7:9 And he said to them, Well ye have made the commandment of God void, to keep your tradition. [And he said to them, Well ye have made the commandment of God void, that ye keep your tradition.]
Mak7:10 For Moses said, Worship thy father and thy mother [Honour thou thy father and thy mother]; and he that curseth father or mother, die he by death.
Mak7:11 But ye say, If a man [shall] say to father or mother, Corban, that is, Whatever gift is of me, it shall profit to thee;
Mak7:12 and over [and further] ye suffer not him [to] do any thing to father or mother,
Mak7:13 and ye break the word of God by your tradition, that ye have given [ a ] ; and ye do many [other] such things.
Mak7:14 And he again called the people, and said to them, Ye all hear me, and understand.
Mak7:15 Nothing that is without a man, that entereth into him, may defoul him [Nothing without man is entering into him, that may defoul him]; but those things that come forth of a man, those it be that defoul a man.
Mak7:16 If any man have ears of hearing [Forsooth if any man have ears to hear], hear he.
Mak7:17 And when he was entered into an house, from the people, his disciples asked him the parable.
Mak7:18 And he said to them [And he saith to them], [So] Ye be unwise also. Understand ye not, that all thing withoutforth that entereth into a man, may not defoul him?
Mak7:19 for it hath not entered into his heart, but into the womb, and beneath it goeth out, purging all meats.
Mak7:20 But he said, The things that go out of a man, those defoul a man.
Mak7:21 For from within, of the heart of men come forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, manslayings,
Mak7:22 thefts, avarices [covetousness, or over-hard keeping of goods ], wickednesses, guile, unchastity, [an] evil eye, blasphemies [blasphemy], pride, folly.
Mak7:23 All these evils come forth from within, and defoul a man,
Mak7:24 And Jesus rose up from thence, and went into the coasts [the ends] of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into an house, and would that no man knew [And he gone into an house, would that no man know]; and he might not be hid.
Mak7:25 For a woman, at once [anon] as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, entered, and fell down at his feet.
Mak7:26 And the woman was heathen, of the generation of Syrophenician. And she prayed him, that he would cast out a devil from her daughter [that he would cast out a devil of her daughter].
Mak7:27 And he said to her, Suffer thou, that the children be fulfilled first [Suffer thou, that the sons be filled first]; for it is not good to take the bread of children, and give [it] to hounds.
Mak7:28 And she answered, and said to him, Yes, Lord; for little whelps eat under the board, of the crumbs of children.
Mak7:29 And Jesus said to her, Go thou, for this word the fiend went out of thy daughter. [ b ]
Mak7:30 And when she was gone into her house home, she found the damsel lying on the bed [ c ] , and the devil gone out from her.
Mak7:31 And again Jesus went out from the coasts of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee [And again Jesus going out from the ends, or coasts , of Tyre, came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee], between the middle of the coasts of Decapolis.
Mak7:32 And they bring to him a man deaf and dumb, and prayed him to lay his hand on him [and prayed him, that he put to him the hand].
Mak7:33 And he took him aside from the people, and put his fingers into his ears [ d ] ; and he spat, and touched his tongue.
Mak7:34 And he beheld into heaven, and sorrowed within, and said [And he beholding into heaven, sorrowed within, and saith to him], Ephphatha, that is, Be thou opened.
Mak7:35 And at once [And anon] his ears were opened, and the band of his tongue was unbound, and he spake rightly.
Mak7:36 And he commanded to them, that they should say to no man; but how much he commanded to them, so much the more they preached [more],
Mak7:37 and by so much the more they wondered, and said [saying], He did well all things, both he hath made deaf men to hear, and dumb men to speak.
