1Then 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”
“the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together around him when they had come from Jerusalem,”
2and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
“and had seen that some of his disciples were eating their bread with impure hands, that is, unwashed.”
“and When they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled that is to say with unwashed hands they found fault.”
“and when they saw some of the disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say with unwashing hands, unwashing hands, they found fault,”
3Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
“the Pharisees, all the Jews do not eat unless they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders.”
4And 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 came from the market, except they wash, they don't eat. And many other things there be which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups and pots and brass vessels and of tablets.”
5So 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 unwashed hands?”
“The Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why do you disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?”
“the Pharisees and scribes asked Jesus, why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with impure hands?”
6Jesus 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 said to them, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, this people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.”
“He answered and said unto them, well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.”
“He answered and said unto them Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites as it is written. This people honor me With their lips, but their heart is far from me.”
“and he said to them, and rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, you actors, as it is written, this people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.”
7They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.'
“And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
“But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.”
“And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
“and in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
“Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
“Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
8You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men."
“Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
“neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to 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.”
“neglecting the commandment of God. You hold to the traditions of men.”
“neglecting the commandment of God and you hold to the tradition of men.”
“For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, washing of pots and cups and many other such like things you do.”
9He went on to say, "You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.
“he said to them, all too well you reject the commandment of God that you may keep your tradition.”
“And he said unto them, for well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”
“And he said unto them, For well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”
10For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother' and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'
“For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother, and whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death.”
“For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother. And whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death.”
“Moses said honor thy father and thy mother and whoso curse of father or mother let him die the death.”
11But 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.”
“But you 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.”
“if a man shall say to his father or mother it is Korban, that is to say a gift by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me he shall be free.”
12he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.
“And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother.”
“And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother,”
“you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother?”
“you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,”
13Thus 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 no effect through your tradition, which you have handed down, and many such things you do.”
“making the word of God of none effect through your tradition which ye have delivered. And many such like things do ye.”
14Once 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 to them, hearken unto me, every one of you, and understand.”
“when he had called all the multitude to him, he said to them, hear me, everyone, and understand”
“and Jesus called the people to him. Again, and he said to them hear me all of you and understand.”
15Nothing 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 the things that defile the man”
“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.”
17After 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.”
“when he had entered a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.”
“and When he had entered the house and left the people his disciples asked him about the parable”
18"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?”
“So he said to them, are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from without or from outside cannot defile him?”
“and he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding? Do you not perceive that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him,”
19because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated." (Thus all foods are clean.)
“Because it does not enter his heart, but his stomach and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods.”
“Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught purging all meats.”
20He 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.”
“And he said, that which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.”
“and he said, that which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.”
“and He said, What comes out of a person is what defiles him.”
“And he was saying that which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.”
“And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.”
21For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
“For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,”
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,”
“For from within, out of the heart of man, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,”
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,”
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,”
“For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery.”
22greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.
“thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.”
“thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness,”
“thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.”
“thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.”
“Coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness,”
“Theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.”
23All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man."
“all these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
“All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
“All these evil things come from within and defile the man”
“All these evil things come from within. And defile the man.”
“All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.”
“All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
24Jesus 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 rose and went into the border of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house, and would have no man know it, but he could not be hid.”
“and From thence he arose and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon And entered into a house and would have no man know it, but he could not be hid.”
25Instead, 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.”
“but immediately, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of Him and came and fell down at His feet.”
“for a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him and came and fell at his feet.”
“But after hearing of him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately 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.”
“But after hearing of him, a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at his feet.”
26Now 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 Syrophoenician by nation, and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.”
“Now the woman was a Gentile. Mark that. A Syrophoenician by birth and she begged Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.”
“Now the woman was a Gentile of the Syrophoenician race, and she kept asking him to cast the demon out of her daughter.”
“The woman was a Greek a Syrophoenician by nation and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.”
“the woman was a Greek a seraphim by nation and She begged him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.”
27"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.”
“And he was saying to her, let the children be satisfied, for it is not good to take the children's bed and throw it to the dogs.”
28"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.”
“And she answered and said unto him. Yes Lord yet the dogs under under the table eat of the children's crumbs.”
“But she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs.”
“But she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord, but even the dogs on the table feed on the what? Children's crumb.”
29Then 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 He said to her, for this statement you may go your way, 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 he said to her, because of this answer, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter”
30And 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.”
“and she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.”
“And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out and her daughter laid upon the bed.”
“and going back To her home. She found the child lying on the bed and the demon demon having”
“and going back to her home. She found the child lying on the bed and the demon having”
31Then 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 coast of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee through the midst of the coast of Decapolis.”
32Some 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 impediment in his speech, and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.”
“Then they brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech and they begged him and put his hand on Him”
33So 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 he put his fingers into his ears and he spit and touched his tongue”
“and he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit and touched his tongue.”
“And he took him aside from the multitude, put his finger into his ears, and he spit and touched his tongue,”
34And 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 a patha that is be opened”
35Immediately 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.”
“Immediately his ears were opened and the impediment of his tongue was loosed and he spoke plainly”
“And straightway his ears were opened, And the string of his tongue was loosed, And he spoke plain.”
“immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue was loosed and he spoke plainly”
“And straightway his ears were open, and the string of his tongue was loose, and he spake plainly.”
36Jesus 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”
37The people were utterly astonished and said, "He has done all things well! He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!"
