1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.2 And when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands with the fist, holding the tradition of the elders.4 And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the dipping of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.5 So the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?6 He answered and said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.7 And in vain they revere Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men; the dipping of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.9 And He said to them, Full well you set aside the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.10 For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who curses father or mother, let him die the death.11 But you say, If a man says to his father or mother, Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban (that is, a gift),12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,13 making the Word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.14 And when He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, Hear Me, everyone, and understand:15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which is able to defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.17 And when He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.18 So He said to them, Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and goes out as waste? Thus He was purifying all foods.20 And He said, What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual perversions, murders,22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.24 From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden.25 For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet.26 The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she begged Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.27 But Jesus said to her, Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.28 And she answered and said to Him, Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.29 Then He said to her, For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.30 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.31 And again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the middle of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.32 And they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.33 And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue.34 Then, looking up to Heaven, He sighed, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke correctly.36 And He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it.37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.

1 And the Farisees and summe of the scribis camen fro Jerusalem togidir to hym.2 And whanne thei hadden seen summe of hise disciplis ete breed with vnwaisschen hoondis, thei blameden.3 The Farisees and alle the Jewis eten not, but thei waisschen ofte her hoondis, holdynge the tradiciouns of eldere men.4 And whanne thei turnen ayen fro chepyng, thei eten not, but thei ben waisschen; and many other thingis ben, `that ben taken `to hem to kepe, wasschyngis of cuppis, and of watir vessels, and of vessels of bras, and of beddis.5 And Farisees and scribis axiden hym, and seiden, Whi gon not thi disciplis aftir the tradicioun of eldere men, but with vnwasschen hondis thei eten breed?6 And he answeride, and seide to hem, Ysaie prophesiede wel of you, ypocritis, as it is writun, This puple worschipith me with lippis, but her herte is fer fro me;7 and in veyn thei worschipen me, techinge the doctrines and the heestis of men.8 For ye leeuen the maundement of God, and holden the tradiciouns of men, wasschyngis of watir vessels, and of cuppis; and many othir thingis lijk to these ye doon.9 And he seide to hem, Wel ye han maad the maundement of God voide, `to kepe youre tradicioun.10 For Moyses seide, Worschipe thi fadir and thi modir; and he that cursith fadir or modir, die he by deeth.11 But ye seien, If a man seie to fadir or modir, Corban, that is, What euer yifte is of me, it schal profite to thee;12 and ouer ye suffren not hym do ony thing to fadir or modir,13 and ye breken the word of God bi youre tradicioun, that ye han youun; and ye don many suche thingis.14 And he eftsoone clepide the puple, and seide to hem, Ye alle here me, and vndurstonde.15 No thing that is withouten a man, that entrith in to hym, may defoule him; but tho thingis that comen forth of a man, tho it ben that defoulen a man.16 If ony man haue eeris of hering, here he.17 And whanne he was entrid in to an hous, fro the puple, hise disciplis axiden hym the parable.18 And he seide to hem, Ye ben vnwise also. Vndurstonde ye not, that al thing without forth that entreth in to a man, may not defoule hym?19 for it hath not entrid in to his herte, but in to the wombe, and bynethe it goith out, purgynge alle metis.20 But he seide, The thingis that gon out of a man, tho defoulen a man.21 For fro with ynne, of the herte of men comen forth yuel thouytis, auowtries,22 fornycaciouns, mansleyingis, theftis, auaricis, wickidnessis, gile, vnchastite, yuel iye, blasfemyes, pride, foli.23 Alle these yuels comen forth fro with ynne, and defoulen a man.24 And Jhesus roos vp fro thennus, and wente in to the coostis of Tyre and of Sidon. And he yede in to an hous, and wolde that no man wiste; and he myyte not be hid.25 For a womman, anoon as sche herd of hym, whos douytir hadde an vnclene spirit, entride, and fel doun at hise feet.26 And the womman was hethen, of the generacioun of Sirofenyce. And sche preiede hym, that he wolde caste out a deuel fro hir douyter.27 And he seide to hir, Suffre thou, that the children be fulfillid first; for it is not good to take the breed of children, and yyue to houndis.28 And sche answeride, and seide to him, Yis, Lord; for litil whelpis eten vndur the bord, of the crummes of children.29 And Jhesus seide to hir, Go thou, for this word the feend wente out of thi douytir.30 And whanne sche was gon in to hir hous home, sche foonde the damysel ligynge on the bed, and the deuel gon out fro hir.31 And eftsoones Jhesus yede out fro the coostis of Tire, and cam thorou Sidon to the see of Galilee, bitwixe the myddil of the coostis of Decapoleos.32 And thei bryngen to hym a man deef and doumbe, and preieden hym to leye his hoond on hym.33 And he took hym asidis fro the puple, and puttide hise fyngris in to hise eris; and he spetide, and touchide his tonge.34 And he bihelde in to heuene, and sorewide with ynne, and seide, Effeta, that is, Be thou openyd.35 And anoon hise eris weren openyd, and the boond of his tunge was vnboundun, and he spak riytli.36 And he comaundide to hem, that thei schulden seie to no man; but hou myche he comaundide to hem, so myche more thei prechiden,37 and bi so myche more thei wondriden, and seiden, He dide wel alle thingis, and he made deef men to here, and doumbe men to speke.
