1 En die Fariseërs en sommige van die skrifgeleerdes wat van Jerusalem gekom het, het by Hom saamgekom;
2 en toe hulle sommige van sy dissipels met onrein, dit is met ongewaste, hande sien brood eet, het hulle dit afgekeur.
3 Want die Fariseërs en al die Jode eet nie as hulle nie deeglik die hande gewas het nie, omdat hulle vashou aan die oorlewering van die ou mense.
4 En wanneer hulle van die mark kom, eet hulle nie as hulle nie gewas het nie; en baie ander dinge is daar wat hulle aangeneem het om te onderhou: die wassery van bekers en kanne en kopergoed en bedde.
5 Daarop stel die Fariseërs en die skrifgeleerdes Hom die vraag: Waarom wandel u dissipels nie ooreenkomstig die oorlewering van die ou mense nie, maar eet brood met ongewaste hande?
6 En Hy antwoord en sê vir hulle: Tereg het Jesaja oor julle, geveinsdes, geprofeteer soos geskrywe is: Hierdie volk eer My met die lippe, maar hulle hart is ver van My af.
7 Maar tevergeefs vereer hulle My deur leringe te leer wat gebooie van mense is.
8 Want terwyl julle die gebod van God nalaat, hou julle aan die oorlewering van mense vas: die wassery van kanne en bekers, en ander dergelike dinge van dieselfde aard doen julle baie.
9 En Hy sê vir hulle: Julle verstaan dit goed om die gebod van God opsy te sit en so julle oorlewering te onderhou.
10 Want Moses het gesê: Eer jou vader en jou moeder; en: Hy wat vader of moeder vloek, moet sekerlik sterwe.
11 Maar julle sê: As 'n mens aan vader of moeder sê: Enige voordeel wat u van my mag geniet, is korban, dit is 'n offergawe --
12 dan laat julle hom nie meer toe om iets vir sy vader of sy moeder te doen nie.
13 So maak julle dan die woord van God kragteloos deur julle oorlewering wat julle bewaar het; en dergelike dinge van dieselfde aard doen julle baie.
14 En Hy het die hele skare na Hom geroep en vir hulle gesê: Luister almal na My en verstaan.
15 Daar is niks wat van buite af in die mens ingaan wat hom onrein kan maak nie; maar die dinge wat van hom uitgaan, d¡t is die dinge wat die mens onrein maak.
16 As iemand ore het om te hoor, laat hom hoor!
17 En toe Hy van die skare af in 'n huis gekom het, vra sy dissipels Hom oor die gelykenis.
18 En Hy sê vir hulle: Is julle ook so sonder verstand? Begryp julle nie dat alles wat van buite af in die mens ingaan, hom nie onrein kan maak nie,
19 omdat dit nie ingaan in sy hart nie, maar in die maag, en dit gaan in die heimlikheid uit en maak al die voedsel rein?
20 En Hy sê: Wat uit die mens uitgaan, dit maak die mens onrein.
21 Want van binne, uit die hart van die mense, kom die slegte gedagtes, egbreuk, hoerery, moord,
22 diewery, hebsug, boosheid, bedrog, losbandigheid, afguns, lastering, hoogmoed, dwaasheid.
23 Al hierdie booshede kom van binne uit en maak die mens onrein.
24 En Hy het opgestaan en daarvandaan na die gebied van Tirus en Sidon vertrek. En toe Hy in die huis gegaan het, wou Hy nie dat iemand dit sou weet nie; maar Hy kon nie verborge bly nie.
25 Want 'n vrou wie se dogtertjie 'n onreine gees gehad het, het van Hom gehoor en gekom en voor sy voete neergeval.
26 En sy was 'n Griekse vrou, 'n Siro-Feniciese van geboorte, en sy het Hom gevra om die duiwel uit haar dogter uit te dryf.
27 Maar Jesus sê vir haar: Laat eers die kinders versadig word; want dit is nie mooi om die brood van die kinders te neem en vir die hondjies te gooi nie.
28 En sy antwoord en sê vir Hom: Ja, Here, maar die hondjies eet darem onder die tafel van die kinders se krummels.
29 En Hy sê vir haar: Ter wille van hierdie woord kan jy gaan; die duiwel het uit jou dogter uitgevaar.
30 En toe sy huis toe gaan, vind sy dat die duiwel uitgevaar het en dat haar dogter op die bed lê.
31 En Hy het weer uit die gebied van Tirus en Sidon vertrek en na die see van Galil,a gegaan, deur die gebied van Dek polis.
32 Toe bring hulle na Hom 'n dowe wat swaar praat, en smeek Hom om hom die hande op te lê.
33 En Hy neem hom opsy, weg van die skare, en steek sy vingers in sy ore, en spuug en raak sy tong aan;
34 en nadat Hy opgekyk het na die hemel, sug Hy en sê aan hom: Âffata, dit is: Gaan oop!
35 En dadelik het sy ore oopgegaan en die band van sy tong losgeraak, en hy het reg gepraat.
36 En Hy het hulle beveel om dit aan niemand te sê nie; maar hoe meer Hy hulle dit beveel, hoe meer hulle dit verkondig.
37 En hulle was uitermate verslae en het gesê: Hy het alles goed gedoen: die dowes laat Hy hoor en die stommes praat.
1 And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,
2 And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.
3 Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:
4 And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.
5 And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?
6 And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.
8 For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.
9 And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.
10 For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:
11 But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,
12 You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.
14 And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:
15 There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.
16 []
17 And when he had gone into the house away from all the people, his disciples put questions to him about the saying.
18 And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,
19 Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.
20 And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.
21 Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,
22 The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:
23 All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean.
24 And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.
25 But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.
27 And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.
28 But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.
29 And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.
30 And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.
31 And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.
32 And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.
33 And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;
34 And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.
35 And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.
36 And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.
37 And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.
