7:1

Και συναγονται προς αυτον οι Φαρισαιοι και τινες των γραμματεων ελθοντες απο Ιεροσολυμων

And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

7:2

και ιδοντες τινας των μαθητων αυτου οτι κοιναις χερσιν τουτ εστιν ανιπτοις εσθιουσιν τους αρτους

and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands.

7:3

Οι γαρ Φαρισαιοι και παντες οι Ιουδαιοι εαν μη πυγμη νιψωνται τας χειρας ουκ εσθιουσιν κρατουντες την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων

(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;

7:4

και απ αγορας εαν μη βαπτισωνται ουκ εσθιουσιν και αλλα πολλα εστιν α παρελαβον κρατειν βαπτισμους ποτηριων και ξεστων και χαλκιων και κλινων

and when they come from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)

7:5

Και επερωτωσιν αυτον οι Φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις Δια τι ου περιπατουσιν οι μαθηται σου κατα την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων αλλα κοιναις χερσιν εσθιουσιν τον αρτον

And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?

7:6

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

And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.

7:7

Ματην δε σεβονται με Διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων

But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

7:8

Αφεντες την εντολην του Θεου κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων

Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.

7:9

Και ελεγεν αυτοις Καλως αθετειτε την εντολην του Θεου ινα την παραδοσιν υμων τηρησητε

And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition.

¹

7:10

Μωυσης γαρ ειπεν Τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου και Ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω

For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:

7:11

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 his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God;

7:12

ουκετι αφιετε αυτον ουδεν ποιησαι τω πατρι η τη μητρι

ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;

7:13

ακυρουντες τον λογον του Θεου τη παραδοσει υμων η παρεδωκατε και παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε

making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

7:14

Και προσκαλεσαμενος παλιν τον οχλον ελεγεν αυτοις Ακουσατε μου παντες και συνετε

And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:

7:15

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 the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.

7:17

Και οτε εισηλθεν εις οικον απο του οχλου επηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου την παραβολην

And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable.

7:18

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? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man, it cannot defile him;

7:19

οτι ουκ εισπορευεται αυτου εις την καρδιαν αλλ εις την κοιλιαν και εις τον αφεδρωνα εκπορευεται καθαριζων παντα τα βρωματα

because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean.

7:20

Ελεγεν δε οτι Το εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενον εκεινο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον

And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man.

7:21

εσωθεν γαρ εκ της καρδιας των ανθρωπων οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι εκπορευονται πορνειαι κλοπαι φονοι

For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

7:22

μοιχειαι πλεονεξιαι πονηριαι δολος ασελγεια οφθαλμος πονηρος βλασφημια υπερηφανια αφροσυνη

covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:

7:23

παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εκπορευεται και κοινοι τον ανθρωπον

all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.

7:24

Εκειθεν δε αναστας απηλθεν εις τα ορια Τυρου Και εισελθων εις οικιαν ουδενα ηθελεν γνωναι και ουκ ηδυνηθη λαθειν

And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid.

7:25

αλλ ευθυς ακουσασα γυνη περι αυτου ης ειχεν το θυγατριον αυτης πνευμα ακαθαρτον ελθουσα προσεπεσεν προς τους ποδας αυτου

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

7:26

η δε γυνη ην Ελληνις Συροφοινικισσα τω γενει και ηρωτα αυτον ινα το δαιμονιον εκβαλη εκ της θυγατρος αυτης

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

7:27

Και ελεγεν αυτη Αφες πρωτον χορτασθηναι τα τεκνα ου γαρ εστιν καλον λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και τοις κυναριοις βαλειν

And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.

7:28

Η δε απεκριθη και λεγει αυτω Κυριε και τα κυναρια υποκατω της τραπεζης εσθιουσιν απο των ψιχιων των παιδιων

But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.

7:29

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 demon is gone out of thy daughter.

7:30

και απελθουσα εις τον οικον αυτης ευρεν το παιδιον βεβλημενον επι την κλινην και το δαιμονιον εξεληλυθος

And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.

7:31

Και παλιν εξελθων εκ των οριων Τυρου ηλθεν δια Σιδωνος εις την θαλασσαν της Γαλιλαιας ανα μεσον των οριων Δεκαπολεως

And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.

7:32

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 lay his hand upon him.

7:33

Και απολαβομενος αυτον απο του οχλου κατ ιδιαν εβαλεν τους δακτυλους αυτου εις τα ωτα αυτου και πτυσας ηψατο της γλωσσης αυτου

And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;

7:34

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.

7:35

και ευθυς ηνοιγησαν αυτου αι ακοαι και ελυθη ο δεσμος της γλωσσης αυτου και ελαλει ορθως

And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

7:36

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.

7:37

και υπερπερισσως εξεπλησσοντο λεγοντες Καλως παντα πεποιηκεν και τους κωφους ποιει ακουειν και τους αλαλους λαλειν

And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
