Then came
together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of
the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
02 And when they saw some of his disciples eat
bread with defiled, that is to say, with
unwashen, hands, they found fault.
03 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except
they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the
tradition of the elders.
04 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.
05 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?
06 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.
07 Howbeit in vain do they
worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.
08 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.
09 And he said unto them, Full
well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye
may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour
thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth
father or mother, let him die the death:
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.
12 And ye suffer him no
more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God
of none effect through your tradition, which ye
have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the
people unto him, he said unto them,Hearken
unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 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.
16 If any man have ears to
hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into
the house from the people, his disciples asked
him concerning the parable.
18 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 Because it entereth not
into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out
into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That
which cometh out of the man, that defileth the
man.
21 For from within, out of
the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,
blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things
come from within, and defile the man.
24 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 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had
an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and
fell at his feet:
26 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 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 And she answered and said unto
him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat
of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this
saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy
daughter.
30 And when she was come to her
house, she found the devil gone out, and her
daughter laid upon the bed.
31 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 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 And he took him aside from the multitude, and
put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and
touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith
unto him, Eph-pha-tha, that is,
Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the
string 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 were beyond measure astonished, saying, He
hath done all things well: he maketh both the
deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
