Mark 7

1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
1 Καὶ συνάγονται πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι, καί τινες τῶν γραμματέων, ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων·
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault

2 καὶ ἰδόντες τινὰς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ [+]

WH omit
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
3 Οἱ γὰρ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ πάντες οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, ἐὰν μὴ πυγμῇ νίψωνται τὰς χεῖρας, οὐκ ἐσθίουσιν, κρατοῦντες τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων·
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables
ℵB omit
.
4 καὶ ἀπὸ

WH omit
5 Then
ℵB ⟨And⟩
 the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen
ℵB ⟨defiled⟩
 hands?
5 Ἔπειτα
WH καὶ

WH οἱ μαθηταί σου

6 He answered and
ℵB omit
 said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
6 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς

WH ὅτι
 Οὗτος ὁ λαὸς τοῖς χείλεσίν με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
7 Μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.
8 For
ℵB omit
 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
ℵB omit; A omit ⟨other⟩
.
8 Ἀφέντες γὰρ
WH omit

WH omit
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
9 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, Καλῶς ἀθετεῖτε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ θεοῦ, ἵνα τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν τηρήσητε.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
10 Μωσῆς
WH Μωυσῆς
 γὰρ εἶπεν, Τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου· καί, Ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτω·
11 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.
11 ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε, Ἐὰν εἴπῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί, Κορβᾶν, ὅ ἐστιν, δῶρον, ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς·
12 And
ℵB omit
 ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
12 καὶ

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
13 ἀκυροῦντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ τῇ παραδόσει ὑμῶν ᾗ παρεδώκατε· καὶ παρόμοια τοιαῦτα πολλὰ ποιεῖτε.
14 And when he had called all the people
ℵB ⟨the people again⟩
 unto him, he said
B ⟨saith⟩
 unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you
ℵ omit
, and understand:
14 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος πάντα
WH πάλιν

.
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him
ℵB ⟨the man⟩
, those are they that defile the man.
15 Οὐδέν ἐστιν ἔξωθεν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς αὐτόν, ὃ δύναται αὐτὸν

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
ℵB omit
16 Εἴ τις ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.

17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning
ℵB ⟨of him⟩
 the parable.
17 Καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ περὶ τῆς παραβολῆς

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not
ℵ ⟨not yet⟩
 perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him
ℵ ⟨entereth, it defileth not the man⟩
;
18 Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε; Οὐ νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ ἔξωθεν εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον οὐ δύναται αὐτὸν κοινῶσαι,
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
19 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν, ἀλλ’ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν, καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται, καθαρίζον
WH — καθαρίζων
 πάντα τὰ βρώματα.
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
20 Ἔλεγεν δὲ ὅτι Τὸ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκπορευόμενον, ἐκεῖνο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries,
ℵB omit
 fornications, murders,
ℵB ⟨thefts, murders⟩
21 Ἔσωθεν γάρ, ἐκ τῆς καρδίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ διαλογισμοὶ οἱ κακοὶ ἐκπορεύονται, μοιχεῖαι,

23 All these evil things come from within, and
ℵ ⟨and they⟩
 defile the man.
23 πάντα ταῦτα τὰ πονηρὰ ἔσωθεν ἐκπορεύεται, καὶ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders
ℵB ⟨coasts⟩
 of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

25 For

27 But Jesus
ℵB ⟨And he⟩
 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.
27 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν

28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat

31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came

32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand

 upon him.
32 Καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτῷ κωφὸν μογγιλάλον
WH καὶ μογιλάλον

33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
33 Καὶ ἀπολαβόμενος αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου κατ’ ἰδίαν, ἔβαλεν τοὺς δακτύλους αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πτύσας ἥψατο τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ,
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
34 καὶ ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἐστέναξεν, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, Ἐφφαθά, ὅ ἐστιν, Διανοίχθητι.
35 And straightway

 his ears were opened, and

 the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
