1 有法利赛人和几个经学家从耶路撒冷来， 聚集到耶稣那里。
2 他们看见他的门徒有人用不洁的手， 就是没有洗过的手吃饭，
3 （原来法利赛人和所有的犹太人都拘守古人的传统， 如果不认真洗手， 就不吃东西；
4 从街市回来， 不先洗手， 也不吃东西， 还有许多别的传统， 他们都沿袭拘守， 例如洗杯、洗罐、洗铜器等等。）
5 法利赛人和经学家问耶稣： "你的门徒为什么不遵行古人的传统， 用不洁的手吃饭呢？"
6 耶稣对他们说： "以赛亚指着你们这班伪君子所说的预言是对的， 经上记着： ‘这人民用嘴唇尊敬我， 心却远离我；
7 他们把人的规条当作道理去教导人， 所以拜我也是徒然。’
8 你们拘守着人的传统， 却离弃了 神的诫命。"
9 耶稣又对他们说： "你们为了坚守自己的传统， 而巧妙地把 神的诫命拒绝了。
10 因为摩西说： ‘当孝敬父母’， 又说： ‘咒骂父母的， 必被处死。’
11 你们倒说： ‘人对父母说， 我应该给你的供奉， 已经作了各耳板’（各耳板意思是奉给 神的供物），
12 你们就不让那人再为父母作什么。
13 这样， 你们借着所领受的传统， 把 神的话废弃了。你们还作了许多这一类的事。"
14 于是耶稣又把群众叫过来， 对他们说： "你们大家都要听我说， 也要明白：
15 从外面进去的， 不能使人污秽， 从里面出来的， 才能使人污秽。"
16 （有些抄本有第16节： "有耳可听的， 就应该听。"）
17 耶稣离开群众， 进了屋子， 门徒就来问他这比喻的意思。
18 他对他们说： "连你们也是这样不明白吗？难道不知道从外面进去的， 不能使人污秽吗？
19 因为不是进到他的心， 而是进到他的肚腹， 再排泄到外面去。"（他这样说是表示各样食物都是洁净的。）
20 接着他又说： "从人里面出来的， 才会使人污秽。
21 因为从里面， 就是从人的心里， 发出恶念、淫乱、偷盗、凶杀、
22 奸淫、贪心、邪恶、诡诈、放荡、嫉妒、毁谤、骄傲、愚妄；
23 这一切恶事， 是从人里面出来的， 都能使人污秽。"
24 耶稣从那里动身到推罗（有些抄本在此有"和西顿"）境内去。进了一所房子， 本来不想让人知道， 却隐藏不住。
25 有一个女人， 她的小女儿被污灵附着， 她听见了耶稣的事， 就来俯伏在他脚前。
26 这女人是外族人， 属于叙利亚的腓尼基族。她求耶稣把鬼从她女儿身上赶出去。
27 耶稣对她说： "应该先让儿女吃饱。拿儿女的饼去丢给小狗吃是不好的。"
28 那女人回答他： "主啊， 是的， 不过小狗在桌子底下， 也可以吃孩子们掉下来的碎渣。"
29 耶稣对她说： "就凭这句话， 你回去吧， 鬼已经从你女儿身上出去了。"
30 她回到家里， 看见小孩子躺在床上， 鬼已经出去了。
31 耶稣从推罗境内出去， 经过西顿， 回到低加波利地区的加利利海。
32 有人带着一个又聋又哑的人到他那里， 求耶稣按手在他身上。
33 耶稣把他从人群中带到一边， 用指头探他的耳朵， 吐唾沫抹他的舌头，
34 然后望着天， 长长地叹了一口气， 对他说： "以法大！ "意思是"开了吧"。
35 那人的耳朵就开了， 舌头也松了， 说话也准确了。
36 耶稣嘱咐他们不要告诉人。但他越是嘱咐， 他们却越发传扬。
37 众人非常惊讶说： "他所作的一切事都好极了； 他竟然使聋子听见， 又使哑巴说话。"
1 And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, 2 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders; 4 and when they come from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.) 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands? 6 And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,
This people honoreth me with their lips,
But their heart is far from me.
7 But in vain do they worship me,
Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. 9 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death: 11 but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God; 12 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother; 13 making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do. 14 And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man. 16 17 And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean. 20 And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22 covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 23 all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid. 25 But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. 28 But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
31 And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. 32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him. 33 And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue; 34 and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 35 And his ears were opened, and the bond 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 they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
