| Vers | Greek NT: Tischendorf 8th Ed. † | English: King James Version |
| 1 | και συναγονται προς αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και τινες των γραμματεων ελθοντες απο ιεροσολυμων | Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. |
| 2 | και ιδοντες τινας των μαθητων αυτου οτι κοιναις χερσιν τουτ εστιν ανιπτοις εσθιουσιν τους αρτους | And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. |
| 3 | οι γαρ φαρισαιοι και παντες οι ιουδαιοι εαν μη πυκνα νιψωνται τας χειρας ουκ εσθιουσιν κρατουντες την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων | For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. |
| 4 | και απο αγορας εαν μη βαπτισωνται ουκ εσθιουσιν και αλλα πολλα εστιν α παρελαβον κρατειν βαπτισμους ποτηριων και ξεστων και χαλκιων | 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. |
| 5 | και επερωτωσιν αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις διατι ου περιπατουσιν οι μαθηται σου κατα την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων αλλα κοιναις χερσιν εσθιουσιν τον αρτον | Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? |
| 6 | ο δε ειπεν αυτοις καλως επροφητευσεν ησαιας περι υμων των υποκριτων ως γεγραπται οτι ουτος ο λαος τοις χειλεσιν με τιμα η δε καρδια αυτων πορρω απεχει απ εμου | He answered and 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. |
| 7 | ματην δε σεβονται με διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων | Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctines the commandments of men. |
| 8 | αφεντες την εντολην του θεου κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων | 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. |
| 9 | και ελεγεν αυτοις καλως αθετειτε την εντολην του θεου ινα την παραδοσιν υμων τηρησητε | And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. |
| 10 | μωυσης γαρ ειπεν τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω | For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: |
| 11 | υμεις δε λεγετε εαν ειπη ανθρωπος τω πατρι η τη μητρι κορβαν ο εστιν δωρον ο εαν εξ εμου ωφεληθης | 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. |
| 12 | ουκετι αφιετε αυτον ουδεν ποιησαι τω πατρι η τη μητρι | And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; |
| 13 | ακυρουντες τον λογον του θεου τη παραδοσει υμων η παρεδωκατε και παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε | Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. |
| 14 | και προσκαλεσαμενος παλιν τον οχλον ελεγεν αυτοις ακουσατε μου παντες και συνετε | And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: |
| 15 | ουδεν εστιν εξωθεν του ανθρωπου εισπορευομενον εις αυτον ο δυναται κοινωσαι αυτον αλλα τα εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενα εστιν τα κοινουντα τον ανθρωπον | 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. |
| 17 | και οτε εισηλθεν εις τον οικον απο του οχλου επηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου την παραβολην | And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. |
| 18 | και λεγει αυτοις ουτως και υμεις ασυνετοι εστε ου νοειτε οτι παν το εξωθεν εισπορευομενον εις τον ανθρωπον ου δυναται αυτον κοινωσαι | 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; |
| 19 | οτι ουκ εισπορευεται αυτου εις την καρδιαν αλλ εις την κοιλιαν και εις τον αφεδρωνα εκπορευεται καθαριζων παντα τα βρωματα | Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? |
| 20 | ελεγεν δε οτι το εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενον εκεινο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον | And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. |
| 21 | εσωθεν γαρ εκ της καρδιας των ανθρωπων οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι εκπορευονται πορνειαι κλοπαι φονοι | For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, |
| 22 | μοιχειαι πλεονεξιαι πονηριαι δολος ασελγεια οφθαλμος πονηρος βλασφημια υπερηφανια αφροσυνη | Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: |
| 23 | παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εκπορευεται και κοινοι τον ανθρωπον | All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. |
| 24 | εκειθεν δε αναστας απηλθεν εις τα ορια τυρου και εισελθων εις οικιαν ουδενα ηθελησεν γνωναι και ουκ ηδυνασθη λαθειν | And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid. |
| 25 | αλλα ευθυς ακουσασα γυνη περι αυτου ης ειχεν το θυγατριον αυτης πνευμα ακαθαρτον ελθουσα προσεπεσεν προς τους ποδας αυτου | For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: |
| 26 | η δε γυνη ην ελληνις συροφοινικισσα τω γενει και ηρωτα αυτον ινα το δαιμονιον εκβαλη εκ της θυγατρος αυτης | The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. |
| 27 | και ελεγεν αυτη αφες πρωτον χορτασθηναι τα τεκνα ου γαρ εστιν καλον λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και τοις κυναριοις βαλειν | 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. |
| 28 | η δε απεκριθη και λεγει αυτω ναι κυριε και τα κυναρια υποκατω της τραπεζης εσθιουσιν απο των ψιχιων των παιδιων | And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. |
| 29 | και ειπεν αυτη δια τουτον τον λογον υπαγε εξεληλυθεν εκ της θυγατρος σου το δαιμονιον | And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. |
| 30 | και απελθουσα εις τον οικον αυτης ευρεν το παιδιον βεβλημενον επι την κλινην και το δαιμονιον εξεληλυθος | And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. |
| 31 | και παλιν εξελθων εκ των οριων τυρου ηλθεν δια σιδωνος εις την θαλασσαν της γαλιλαιας ανα μεσον των οριων δεκαπολεως | And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. |
| 32 | και φερουσιν αυτω κωφον και μογιλαλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον ινα επιθη αυτω την χειρα | 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. |
| 33 | και απολαβομενος αυτον απο του οχλου κατ ιδιαν εβαλεν τους δακτυλους εις τα ωτα αυτου και πτυσας ηψατο της γλωσσης αυτου | And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; |
| 34 | και αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον εστεναξεν και λεγει αυτω εφφαθα ο εστιν διανοιχθητι | And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. |
| 35 | και ηνοιγησαν αυτου αι ακοαι και ευθυς ελυθη ο δεσμος της γλωσσης αυτου και ελαλει ορθως | And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. |
| 36 | και διεστειλατο αυτοις ινα μηδενι λεγωσιν οσον δε αυτοις διεστελλετο αυτοι μαλλον περισσοτερον εκηρυσσον | 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 | και υπερπερισσως εξεπλησσοντο λεγοντες καλως παντα πεποιηκεν και τους κωφους ποιει ακουειν και αλαλους λαλειν | And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. |
| 16 | If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. |
