1 And Pharisees and some of the scribes having come from Jerusalem assemble to him,
2 and having seen some of his disciples that(=who) eat [the] loaves (with) unclean hands, that is unwashed.
3 For Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they with fist(=in a special way)1 [might] wash the(=their) hands, observing the tradition of the elders.
4 And (when they come) from marketplaces, they do not eat unless they wash. And (there) are many other things that they received to observe, (like the) washing of cups, pitchers, and bronze vessels.
5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat [the] loaf (with) unclean hands?”
6 And he said (to) them, “Isaiah prophesied well about you hypocrites, as it has been written, ‘[that] This people honor me (with their) lips, but their heart is far from me.’
7 ‘And in vain they worship me, teaching (the) commandments of men (as) doctrines.’”
8 “Having left the commandment of God, you observe the tradition of men.”
9 And he was saying (to) them, “You set aside well(=have a fine way of rejecting) the commandment of God in order that you might keep your tradition.”
10 “For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother. And let the one speaking evil of father or mother end by death(=be put to death).’”
11 “But you say, If a man [might] tells the(=his) father or the(=his) mother, ‘Whatever you might have been benefited from me (is) Corban - that is a gift (to God) - ,’
12 you no longer let him do anything(# double negatives) for the(=his) father or the(=his) mother.”
13 “Annulling the word of God (by) your tradition that you received, you do many such similar things.”
14 And having called again the crowd to (him), he was saying (to) them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.”
15 “There is nothing entering into him(=man) outside of man which is able to(=can) defile him, but the things coming out of the man is(=are) the things defiling the man.”
16 (If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.)
17 And when he entered into a house from the crowd, his disciples were asking him (about) the parable.
18 And he says (to) them, “Are you also thus without understanding? Do you not know that everything entering into the man from outside is not able to defile him,”
19 “because it enters not into his heart but into the(=his) belly, and goes out into the drain, making all foods clean”(=He declares all foods clean).
20 And he was saying, “[that] The thing coming out of man, that defiles man.”
21 “For from within, out of the heart of men, come the bad thoughts: fornications, thefts, murders,”
22 “adulteries, avarices, iniquities, deceit, lewdness, evil eye, blasphemy, arrogance, foolishness.”
23 “All these evil things comes(=come) from within and defiles(=defile) the man.”
24 And from there having risen up, he went into the region of Tyre. And having entered into a house, he was wishing no one to know. And he was not able to escape notice(=to be hidden).
25 But immediately a woman, having heard about him, whose daughter was having an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet.
26 And the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician (by) [the] race. And she was begging him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 And he was saying (to) her, “Let the children first be fed, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw (it to) the dogs.”
28 And she answered, and says (to) him, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat [from] the children’s crumbs.”
29 And he said (to) her, “Because of this word(=For saying that), go away and the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 And having come into her house, she found the child having been laid on the bed, and the demon having gone out.
31 And again having gone out of the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon, to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
32 And they bring (to) him (a man who is) deaf and (has) an impediment in his speech. And they beg him that he would put the(=his) hand on him.
33 And having taken him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears. And having spat, he touched his tongue.
34 And having looked up to [the] heaven, he sighed, and says (to) him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plainly.
36 And he ordered them that they shall tell no one. But the more he was ordering them, so much the more they were proclaiming (it).
37 And beyond measure they were being astonished, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.”
