WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,
1 Y SE juntaron á él los Fariseos, y algunos de los escribas, que habían venido de Jerusalem;
1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.
2 Los cuales, viendo á algunos de sus discípulos comer pan con manos comunes, es á saber, no lavadas, [los] condenaban.
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them:
3 (Porque los Fariseos y todos los Judíos, teniendo la tradición de los ancianos, si muchas veces no se lavan las manos, no comen.
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.
4 And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep — washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.
4 Y [volviendo] de la plaza, si no se lavaren, no comen. Y otras muchas cosas hay, que tomaron para guardar, como las lavaduras de los vasos [de beber], y de los jarros, y de los vasos de metal, y de los lechos.)
4 They 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.)
5 And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands?
5 Y le preguntaron los Fariseos y los escribas: ¿Por qué tus discípulos no andan conforme á la tradición de los ancianos, sino que comen pan con manos comunes?
5 The 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?”
6 And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
6 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, como está escrito: Este pueblo con los labios me honra, mas su corazón lejos está de mí.
6 He 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.
7 But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.
7 Y en vano me honran, enseñando [como] doctrinas mandamientos de hombres.
7 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.
8 Porque dejando el mandamiento de Dios, tenéis la tradición de los hombres; las lavaduras de los jarros y de los vasos [de beber]: y hacéis otras muchas cosas semejantes.
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.”
9 And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you.
9 Les decía también: Bien invalidáis el mandamiento de Dios para guardar vuestra tradición.
9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
10 For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:
10 Porque Moisés dijo: Honra á tu padre y á tu madre, y: El que maldijere al padre ó á la madre, morirá de muerte.
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
11 But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,
11 Y vosotros decís: [Basta] si dijere un hombre al padre ó la madre: [Es] Corbán (quiere decir, don [mío á Dios]) todo aquello con que pudiera valerte;
11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’” that is to say, given to God,
12 You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother;
12 Y no le dejáis hacer más por su padre ó por su madre,
12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.
13 Invalidando la palabra de Dios con vuestra tradición que disteis: y muchas cosas hacéis semejantes á éstas.
13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
14 And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:
14 Y llamando á toda la multitud, les dijo: Oidme todos, y entended:
14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.
15 Nada hay fuera del hombre que entre en él, que le pueda contaminar: mas lo que sale de él, aquello es lo que contamina al hombre.
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.
17 And when he had gone into the house away from all the people, his disciples put questions to him about the saying.
17 Y [apartado] de la multitud, habiendo entrado en casa, le preguntaron sus discípulos sobre la parábola.
17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,
18 Y díjoles: ¿También vosotros estáis así sin entendimiento? ¿No entendéis que todo lo de fuera que entra en el hombre, no le puede contaminar;
18 He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,
19 Because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach, and goes out with the waste? He said this, making all food clean.
19 Porque no entra en su corazón, sino en el vientre, y sale á la secreta? [Esto decía], haciendo limpias todas las viandas.
19 because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
20 And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.
20 Mas decía, que lo que del hombre sale, aquello contamina al hombre.
20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,
21 Porque de dentro, del corazón de los hombres, salen los malos pensamientos, los adulterios, las fornicaciones, los homicidios,
21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 The taking of goods and of life, broken faith between husband and wife, the desire of wealth, wrongdoing, deceit, sins of the flesh, an evil eye, angry words, pride, foolish acts:
22 Los hurtos, las avaricias, las maldades, el engaño, las desvergüenzas, el ojo maligno, las injurias, la soberbia, la insensatez.
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean.
23 Todas estas maldades de dentro salen, y contaminan al hombre.
23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
24 And he went away from there to the country of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, desiring that no man might have knowledge of it: and he was not able to keep it secret.
24 Y levantándose de allí, se fué á los términos de Tiro y de Sidón; y entrando en casa, quiso que nadie [lo] supiese; mas no pudo esconderse.
24 From 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.
25 But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.
25 Porque una mujer, cuya hija tenía un espíritu inmundo, luego que oyó de él, vino y se echó á sus pies.
25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.
26 Y la mujer era Griega, Sirofenisa de nación; y le rogaba que echase fuera de su hija al demonio.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.
27 Mas Jesús le dijo: Deja primero hartarse los hijos, porque no es bien tomar el pan de los hijos y echarlo á los perrillos.
27 But 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.”
28 But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.
28 Y respondió ella, y le dijo: Sí, Señor; pero aun los perrillos debajo de la mesa, comen de las migajas de los hijos.
28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.
29 Entonces le dice: Por esta palabra, ve; el demonio ha salido de tu hija.
29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.
30 Y como fué á su casa, halló que el demonio había salido, y á la hija echada sobre la cama.
30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
31 And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.
31 Y volviendo á salir de los términos de Tiro, vino por Sidón á la mar de Galilea, por mitad de los términos de Decápolis.
31 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee through the middle of the region of Decapolis.
32 And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.
32 Y le traen un sordo y tartamudo, y le ruegan que le ponga la mano encima.
32 They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.
33 And he took him on one side from the people privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he put water from his mouth on the man's tongue with his finger;
33 Y tomándole aparte de la gente, metió sus dedos en las orejas de él, y escupiendo, tocó su lengua;
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
34 And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.
34 Y mirando al cielo, gimió, y le dijo: Ephphatha: que es [decir]: Sé abierto.
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
35 And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.
35 Y luego fueron abiertos sus oídos, y fué desatada la ligadura de su lengua, y hablaba bien.
35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
36 And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.
36 Y les mandó que no lo dijesen á nadie; pero cuanto más les mandaba, tanto más y más lo divulgaban.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.
37 Y en gran manera se maravillaban, diciendo: Bien lo ha hecho todo: hace á los sordos oir, y á los mudos hablar.
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." And again: "They bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart." And again it saith, "They loved Him with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue; but their heart was not right with Him, neither …
Have ye not heard the prophet, saying (or rather God by the prophet), "This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me?" Therefore, lest this be our case too, wipe thou out the letters, or rather the impressions, which the devil hath engraven in thy soul; and bring me a heart set free from worldly …

And further, the divine Gospel says, The Lord came into the borders of Tyre and Sidon and entered into a house, and would have no man know it; but He could not be hid.

And Mark again makes this plainer, by saying, "It is Corban, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;" which means, not a gift and present, but properly an offering.
