1And the Pharisees and some of the scribes having come from Jerusalem are gathered together to Him; 2And having seen some of His disciples are eating bread with defiled hands, that is unwashed (aniptois), 3For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands carefully (with a fist), do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders; 4And [on coming] away from the market, unless they wash (baptisontai) they do not eat; and there are many other things which they received to hold, the washings (baptismous) of cups and pitchers and brazen utensils and tables (mats, beds, dining recliners). 5Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat the bread with defiled hands?

6And He said to them, Rightly (kalos) Isaiah prophesied concerning you hypocrites, as it has been written, This people honor (value) Me with their lips, however their heart is far away from Me.

7And in vain (aimlessly) they reverence (sebontai) Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.

8Having left the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men, {the washings (baptismous) of pitchers and cups and other like things such you do much}.

9And He said to them, Rightly do you set aside (make of no effect, bring to naught, annul, disregard, un-place) the commandment of God, so that you might keep your tradition. 10For Moses said, Honor (value) your father and your mother; and, The one speaking evil of father or mother must come to an end in death. 11And you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, Whatever you might be benefited from me, [It is] a corban (a gift dedicated to God and misused by Jews as a way to evade their rightful duty to God to care for aged parents), that is, a gift [to God] – 12You no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother, 13Invalidating (making of no authority, unratifying, not confirming) the word of God for your tradition which you have handed down. And many such like things you do.

14And having called to Him again the crowd, He said to them, Hear Me, all, and comprehend (synthesize, put it together): 15There is nothing outside a man entering into him, which is able to defile him; but the things proceeding from out of a man are the things defiling a man. 16{If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear}.

17And when He went into the house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him the parable. 18And He says to them, Are you also thus not comprehending? Do you not understand (perceive) that everything outside entering into a man is not able to defile him? 19Because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly (koilian) and goes out into the latrine (greek-aphedrona, place of sitting away from). Purifying (cleansing, removing admixture) all the food. 20And He said, That going out of a man, that there defiles a man. 21For within from out of the heart of men go out evil (kakoi, malice, foul, rotten, bad, wrong) dialogues (back and forth reasonings), fornications (sexual immoralities), 22thefts (secretive stealing), murders, adulteries, Greedinesses (covetousnesses, to have more), wickednesses, deceit, insolent unrestraint (sensuality, a brutal spite that rejects restraint and indulges in lawless insolence, possibly abusive), an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation (haughtiness, arrogance, excessive/over shining, self-absorption, latin-superbia-pride like I am too superb), foolishness (lack of perspective). 23All these evils go out from within and defile a man.

24And having risen up from there, He went away into the territory (boundaries) of Tyre and Sidon. And having entered into a house, He wanted no one to know it, and He was not able to be hidden (escape notice). 25But directly a woman having heard about Him, of whom her little daughter had an unclean spirit, came, and fell down before His feet, 26And the woman was Greek, Syrophoenician by race, and asked Him so that He should cast out the demon from out of her little daughter. 27And He said to her, Permit the children to be satisfied (fed, filled) first; for it is not good (kalon) to take the bread of children and cast it to the puppies (little dogs). 28And she answered and says to Him, Yes, Lord; even (and) the puppies (little dogs, word is diminutive form of dog) under the table eat from the crumbs of the children. 29And He said to her, Because of this word, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter. 30And having gone away unto her house, she found the child lying upon the bed and the demon having gone out.

31And again having departed from the territory (boundaries) of Tyre, He came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst (middle) of the territory (boundaries) of the Decapolis (group of ten cities east of the Jordan River). 32And they bring to Him a deaf man and who spoke with difficulty and they entreated Him so that He might lay His hand upon him. 33And having taken him away from the crowd privately, He put His fingers into (unto) his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue (glosses), 34And having looked up into heaven He groaned (sighed deeply, feel pressure from something coming on) and says to him, Ephphatha! (Aramaic), that is, Be fully opened! 35And his ears were opened and directly the band (bond) of his tongue was loosed (unbound, released, dissolved) and he spoke correctly (straight, right). 36And He expressly charged them that no one should tell. And as much as He expressly charged them the more exceedingly they proclaimed it. 37And they were super-exceedingly astounded, saying, He has done all things well (kalos): and He makes the deaf to hear and the mute (unable to speak) to speak.
