1 και συναγονται προς αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και τινες των γραμματεων ελθοντες απο ιεροσολυμων·
1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 και ιδοντες τινας των μαθητων αυτου κοιναις χερσιν, τουτ εστιν ανιπτοις, εσθιοντας αρτους, εμεμψαντο·
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 οι γαρ φαρισαιοι και παντες οι ιουδαιοι, εαν μη πυγμη νιψωνται τας χειρας, ουκ εσθιουσιν, 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.
4 και απο αγορας, εαν μη βαπτισωνται, ουκ εσθιουσιν· και αλλα πολλα εστιν α παρελαβον κρατειν, βαπτισμους ποτηριων και ξεστων και χαλκιων και κλινων·
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 επειτα επερωτωσιν αυτον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις· διατι ου περιπατουσιν οι μαθηται σου κατα την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων, αλλ ανιπτοις χερσιν εσθιουσιν τον αρτον;
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 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις οτι καλως προεφητευσεν ησαιας περι υμων των υποκριτων, ως γεγραπται· ουτος ο λαος τοις χειλεσιν με τιμα, η δε καρδια αυτων πορρω απεχει απ εμου·
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 ματην δε σεβονται με, διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων.
7 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 αφεντες γαρ την εντολην του θεου κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων, βαπτισμους ξεστων και ποτηριων, και αλλα παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε.
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 και ελεγεν αυτοις· καλως αθετειτε την εντολην του θεου ινα την παραδοσιν υμων τηρησητε.
9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
10 μωυσης γαρ ειπεν· τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου· και· ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω·
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 υμεις δε λεγετε· εαν ειπη ανθρωπος τω πατρι η τη μητρι, κορβαν, ο εστιν δωρον, ο εαν εξ εμου ωφεληθης,
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 και ουκετι αφιετε αυτον ουδεν ποιησαι τω πατρι αυτου η τη μητρι αυτου,
12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 ακυρουντες τον λογον του θεου τη παραδοσει υμων η παρεδωκατε· και παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα ποιειτε.
13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
14 και προσκαλεσαμενος παντα τον οχλον ελεγεν αυτοις· ακουετε μου παντες και συνιετε.
14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 ουδεν εστιν εξωθεν του ανθρωπου εισπορευομενον εις αυτον ο δυναται αυτον κοινωσαι, αλλα τα εκπορευομενα εστιν τα κοινουντα 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.
16 Not in this translation
16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
17 και οτε εισηλθεν εις οικον απο του οχλου, επηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου περι της παραβολης.
17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 και λεγει αυτοις· ουτως και υμεις ασυνετοι εστε; ουπω νοειτε οτι παν το εξωθεν εισπορευομενον εις τον ανθρωπον ου δυναται αυτον κοινωσαι;
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 οτι ουκ εισπορευεται αυτου εις την καρδιαν, αλλ εις την κοιλιαν, και εις τον αφεδρωνα εκπορευεται, καθαριζον παντα τα βρωματα.
19 because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
20 ελεγεν δε οτι το εκ του ανθρωπου εκπορευομενον, εκεινο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον.
20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 εσωθεν γαρ εκ της καρδιας των ανθρωπων οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι εκπορευονται, μοιχειαι, πορνειαι, φονοι,
21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 κλοπαι, πλεονεξιαι, πονηριαι, δολος, ασελγεια, οφθαλμος πονηρος, βλασφημια, υπερηφανια, αφροσυνη·
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εκπορευεται και κοινοι τον ανθρωπον.
23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
24 και εκειθεν αναστας απηλθεν εις τα μεθορια τυρου και σιδωνος. και εισελθων εις οικιαν ουδενα ηθελεν γνωναι, και ουκ ηδυνηθη λαθειν.
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 ακουσασα γαρ γυνη περι αυτου, ης ειχεν το θυγατριον αυτης πνευμα ακαθαρτον, ελθουσα προσεπεσεν προς τους ποδας αυτου·
25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
26 η δε γυνη ην ελληνις, συροφοινικισσα τω γενει· και ηρωτα αυτον ινα το δαιμονιον εκβαλη εκ της θυγατρος αυτης.
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 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτη· αφες πρωτον χορτασθηναι τα τεκνα· ου γαρ εστιν καλον λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και τοις κυναριοις βαλειν.
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 η δε απεκριθη και λεγει αυτω· ναι, κυριε· και τα κυναρια υποκατω της τραπεζης εσθιουσιν απο των ψιχιων των παιδιων.
28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29 και ειπεν αυτη· δια τουτον τον λογον υπαγε· εξεληλυθεν το δαιμονιον εκ της θυγατρος σου.
29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 και απελθουσα εις τον οικον αυτης ευρεν το παιδιον βεβλημενον επι την κλινην και το δαιμονιον εξεληλυθος.
30 She 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 ηλθεν προς την θαλασσαν της γαλιλαιας ανα μεσον των οριων δεκαπολεως.
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 και φερουσιν αυτω κωφον μογιλαλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον ινα επιθη αυτω την χειρα.
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 και απολαβομενος αυτον απο του οχλου κατ ιδιαν εβαλεν τους δακτυλους αυτου εις τα ωτα αυτου, και πτυσας ηψατο της γλωσσης αυτου,
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
34 και αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον εστεναξεν και λεγει αυτω· εφφαθα, ο εστιν διανοιχθητι.
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
35 και ευθεως διηνοιχθησαν αυτου αι ακοαι και ελυθη ο δεσμος της γλωσσης αυτου, και ελαλει ορθως.
35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
36 και διεστειλατο αυτοις ινα μηδενι ειπωσιν· οσον δε αυτος αυτοις διεστελλετο, μαλλον περισσοτερον εκηρυσσον.
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 και υπερπερισσως εξεπλησσοντο λεγοντες· καλως παντα πεποιηκεν· και τους κωφους ποιει ακουειν και τους αλαλους λαλειν.
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.
