¹[] Και συναγονται προς αυτον οι Φαρισαιοι και τινες των γραμματεων, ελθοντες απο Ιεροσολυμων·

¹Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.

²και ιδοντες τινας των μαθητων αυτου τρωγοντας αρτους με χειρας μεμολυσμενας, τουτεστιν ανιπτους, εμεμφθησαν αυτους·

²Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

³διοτι οι Φαρισαιοι και παντες οι Ιουδαιοι, εαν δεν νιψωσι μεχρι του αγκωνος τας χειρας, δεν τρωγουσι, κρατουντες την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων·

³(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the tradition of the elders.

⁴και επιστρεψαντες απο της αγορας, εαν δεν νιφθωσι, δεν τρωγουσιν· ειναι και αλλα πολλα, τα οποια παρελαβον να φυλαττωσι, πλυματα ποτηριων και ξεστων και σκευων χαλκινων και κλινων·

⁴They don’t eat when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, and there are many other things, which they have received to hold to: washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)

⁵επειτα ερωτωσιν αυτον οι Φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις· Διατι οι μαθηται σου δεν περιπατουσι κατα την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων, αλλα με χειρας ανιπτους τρωγουσι τον αρτον;

⁵The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”

⁶Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους· οτι καλως προεφητευσεν ο Ησαιας περι υμων των υποκριτων, ως ειναι γεγραμμενον· Ουτος ο λαος δια των χειλεων με τιμα, η δε καρδια αυτων μακραν απεχει απ' εμου.

⁶He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁷Εις ματην δε με σεβονται, διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων.

⁷ But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ Isaiah 29:13

⁸Διοτι αφησαντες την εντολην του Θεου, κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων, πλυματα ξεστων και ποτηριων, και αλλα παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα καμνετε.

⁸ “For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and you do many other such things.”

⁹Και ελεγε προς αυτους· Καλως αθετειτε την εντολην του Θεου, δια να φυλαττητε την παραδοσιν σας.

⁹He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

¹⁰Διοτι ο Μωυσης ειπε· Τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου. και· Ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα εξαπαντος να θανατονηται·

¹⁰ For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’ Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9

¹¹σεις ομως λεγετε· Εαν ανθρωπος ειπη προς τον πατερα η προς την μητερα, Κορβαν, τουτεστι δωρον, ειναι ο, τι ηθελες ωφεληθη εξ εμου, αρκει,

¹¹ But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban Corban is a Hebrew word for an offering devoted to God. , that is to say, given to God”;’

¹²και δεν αφινετε πλεον αυτον να καμη ουδεν εις τον πατερα αυτου η εις την μητερα αυτου,

¹² then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,

¹³ακυρουντες τον λογον του Θεου χαριν της παραδοσεως σας, την οποιαν παρεδωκατε· και καμνετε παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα.

¹³ making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”

¹⁴Και προσκαλεσας παντα τον οχλον, ελεγε προς αυτους· Ακουετε μου παντες και νοειτε.

¹⁴He called all the multitude to himself, and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.

¹⁵Δεν ειναι ουδεν εισερχομενον εξωθεν του ανθρωπου εις αυτον, το οποιον δυναται να μολυνη αυτον, αλλα τα εξερχομενα απ' αυτου, εκεινα ειναι τα μολυνοντα τον ανθρωπον.

¹⁵ There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

¹⁶Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.

¹⁶ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”

¹⁷Και οτε εισηλθεν εις οικον απο του οχλου, ηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου περι της παραβολης.

¹⁷When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

¹⁸Και λεγει προς αυτους· Ουτω και σεις ασυνετοι εισθε; δεν καταλαμβανετε οτι παν το εξωθεν εισερχομενον εις τον ανθρωπον δεν δυναται να μολυνη αυτον;

¹⁸He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,

¹⁹διοτι δεν εισερχεται εις την καρδιαν αυτου, αλλ' εις την κοιλιαν, και εξερχεται εις τον αφεδρωνα, καθαριζον παντα τα φαγητα.

¹⁹ because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, thus purifying all foods or, making all foods clean ?”

²⁰Ελεγε δε οτι το εξερχομενον εκ του ανθρωπου, εκεινο μολυνει τον ανθρωπον.

²⁰He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

²¹Διοτι εσωθεν εκ της καρδιας των ανθρωπων εξερχονται οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι, μοιχειαι, πορνειαι, φονοι,

²¹ For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

²²κλοπαι, πλεονεξιαι, πονηριαι, δολος, ασελγεια, βλεμμα πονηρον· βλασφημια, υπερηφανια, αφροσυνη·

²² covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

²³παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εξερχονται και μολυνουσι τον ανθρωπον.

²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”

²⁴[] Και σηκωθεις εκειθεν υπηγεν εις τα μεθορια Τυρου και Σιδωνος. Και εισελθων εις την οικιαν, δεν ηθελε να μαθη τουτο μηδεις, δεν ηδυνηθη ομως να κρυφθη.

²⁴From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.

²⁵Διοτι ακουσασα περι αυτου γυνη τις, της οποιας το θυγατριον ειχε πνευμα ακαθαρτον, ηλθε και προσεπεσεν εις τους ποδας αυτου·

²⁵For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

²⁶ητο δε η γυνη Ελληνις, Συροφοινισσα το γενος· και παρεκαλει αυτον να εκβαλη το δαιμονιον εκ της θυγατρος αυτης.

²⁶Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτην· Αφες πρωτον να χορτασθωσι τα τεκνα· διοτι δεν ειναι καλον να λαβη τις τον αρτον των τεκνων και να ριψη εις τα κυναρια.

²⁷But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁸Η δε απεκριθη και λεγει προς αυτον· Ναι, Κυριε· αλλα και τα κυναρια υποκατω της τραπεζης τρωγουσιν απο των ψιχιων των παιδιων.

²⁸But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

²⁹Και ειπε προς αυτην· Δια τουτον τον λογον υπαγε· εξηλθε το δαιμονιον απο της θυγατρος σου.

²⁹He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

³⁰Και οτε υπηγεν εις τον οικον αυτης, ευρεν οτι το δαιμονιον εξηλθε και την θυγατερα κειμενην επι της κλινης.

³⁰She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.

³¹[] Και παλιν εξελθων εκ των οριων Τυρου και Σιδωνος ηλθε προς την θαλασσαν της Γαλιλαιας ανα μεσον των οριων της Δεκαπολεως.

³¹Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.

³²Και φερουσι προς αυτον κωφον μογιλαλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον να επιθεση την χειρα επ' αυτον.

³²They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.

³³Και παραλαβων αυτον κατ' ιδιαν απο του οχλου εβαλε τους δακτυλους αυτου εις τα ωτα αυτου, και πτυσας ηγγισε την γλωσσαν αυτου,

³³He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.

³⁴και αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον, εστεναξε και λεγει προς αυτον· Εφφαθα, τουτεστιν Ανοιχθητι.

³⁴Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

³⁵Και ευθυς ηνοιχθησαν τα ωτα αυτου και ελυθη ο δεσμος της γλωσσης αυτου, και ελαλει ορθως.

³⁵Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.

³⁶Και παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους να μη ειπωσι τουτο εις μηδενα· πλην οσον αυτος παρηγγελλεν εις αυτους, τοσον περισσοτερον εκεινοι εκηρυττον.

³⁶He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.

³⁷Και εξεπληττοντο καθ' υπερβολην, λεγοντες· Καλως επραξε τα παντα· και τους κωφους καμνει να ακουωσι και τους αλαλους να λαλωσι.

³⁷They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!”
