PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Και συνάγονται προς αυτόν οι Φαρισαίοι και τινές των γραμματέων, ελθόντες από Ιεροσολύμων·
1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
1 Καὶ συνάγονται πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καί τινες τῶν γραμματέων ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων·
2 και ιδόντες τινάς των μαθητών αυτού τρώγοντας άρτους με χείρας μεμολυσμένας, τουτέστιν ανίπτους, εμέμφθησαν αυτούς·
2 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.
2 καὶ ἰδόντες τινὰς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ κοιναῖς χερσί, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν ἀνίπτοις, ἐσθίοντας ἄρτους, ἐμέμψαντο·
3 διότι οι Φαρισαίοι και πάντες οι Ιουδαίοι, εάν δεν νίψωσι μέχρι του αγκώνος τας χείρας, δεν τρώγουσι, κρατούντες την παράδοσιν των πρεσβυτέρων·
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.
3 οἱ γὰρ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ πάντες οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, ἐὰν μὴ πυγμῇ νίψωνται τὰς χεῖρας, οὐκ ἐσθίουσι, κρατοῦντες τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων·
4 και επιστρέψαντες από της αγοράς, εάν δεν νιφθώσι, δεν τρώγουσιν· είναι και άλλα πολλά, τα οποία παρέλαβον να φυλάττωσι, πλύματα ποτηρίων και ξεστών και σκευών χαλκίνων και κλινών·
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.)
4 καὶ ἀπὸ ἀγορᾶς, ἐὰν μὴ βαπτίσωνται, οὐκ ἐσθίουσι· καὶ ἄλλα πολλά ἐστιν ἃ παρέλαβον κρατεῖν, βαπτισμοὺς ποτηρίων καὶ ξεστῶν καὶ χαλκίων καὶ κλινῶν·
5 έπειτα ερωτώσιν αυτόν οι Φαρισαίοι και οι γραμματείς· Διατί οι μαθηταί σου δεν περιπατούσι κατά την παράδοσιν των πρεσβυτέρων, αλλά με χείρας ανίπτους τρώγουσι τον άρτον;
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?”
5 ἔπειτα ἐπερωτῶσιν αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς· διατί οὐ περιπατοῦσιν οἱ μαθηταί σου κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀλλ᾽ ἀνίπτοις χερσὶν ἐσθίουσι τὸν ἄρτον;
6 Ο δε αποκριθείς είπε προς αυτούς· ότι καλώς προεφήτευσεν ο Ησαΐας περί υμών των υποκριτών, ως είναι γεγραμμένον· Ούτος ο λαός διά των χειλέων με τιμά, η δε καρδία αυτών μακράν απέχει απ' εμού.
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.
6 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι καλῶς προεφήτευσεν Ἡσαΐας περὶ ὑμῶν τῶν ὑποκριτῶν, ὡς γέγραπται· οὗτος ὁ λαὸς τοῖς χείλεσί με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ·
7 Εις μάτην δε με σέβονται, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας εντάλματα ανθρώπων.
7 They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
7 μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.
8 Διότι αφήσαντες την εντολήν του Θεού, κρατείτε την παράδοσιν των ανθρώπων, πλύματα ξεστών και ποτηρίων, και άλλα παρόμοια τοιαύτα πολλά κάμνετε.
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.”
8 ἀφέντες γὰρ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ κρατεῖτε τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, βαπτισμοὺς ξεστῶν καὶ ποτηρίων, καὶ ἄλλα παρόμοια τοιαῦτα πολλὰ ποιεῖτε.
9 Και έλεγε προς αυτούς· Καλώς αθετείτε την εντολήν του Θεού, διά να φυλάττητε την παράδοσίν σας.
9 He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
9 καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· καλῶς ἀθετεῖτε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἵνα τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν τηρήσητε.
10 Διότι ο Μωϋσής είπε· Τίμα τον πατέρα σου και την μητέρα σου. καί· Ο κακολογών πατέρα ή μητέρα εξάπαντος να θανατόνηται·
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.’
10 Μωϋσῆς γὰρ εἶπε· τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου· καί ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτω·
11 σεις όμως λέγετε· Εάν άνθρωπος είπη προς τον πατέρα ή προς την μητέρα, Κορβάν, τουτέστι δώρον, είναι ό,τι ήθελες ωφεληθή εξ εμού, αρκεί,
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,
11 ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε· ἐὰν εἴπῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί, κορβᾶν, ὅ ἐστι δῶρον, ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς,
12 και δεν αφίνετε πλέον αυτόν να κάμη ουδέν εις τον πατέρα αυτού ή εις την μητέρα αυτού,
12 “then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
12 καὶ οὐκέτι ἀφίετε αὐτὸν οὐδὲν ποιῆσαι τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἢ τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ,
13 ακυρούντες τον λόγον του Θεού χάριν της παραδόσεώς σας, την οποίαν παρεδώκατε· και κάμνετε παρόμοια τοιαύτα πολλά.
13 making void the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down. You do many things like this.”
13 ἀκυροῦντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ τῇ παραδόσει ὑμῶν ᾗ παρεδώκατε· καὶ παρόμοια τοιαῦτα πολλὰ ποιεῖτε.
14 Και προσκαλέσας πάντα τον όχλον, έλεγε προς αυτούς· Ακούετέ μου πάντες και νοείτε.
14 He called all the multitude to himself and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
14 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος πάντα τὸν ὄχλον ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· ἀκούετέ μου πάντες καὶ συνίετε.
15 Δεν είναι ουδέν εισερχόμενον έξωθεν του ανθρώπου εις αυτόν, το οποίον δύναται να μολύνη αυτόν, αλλά τα εξερχόμενα απ' αυτού, εκείνα είναι τα μολύνοντα τον άνθρωπον.
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.
15 οὐδέν ἐστιν ἔξωθεν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς αὐτὸν ὃ δύναται αὐτὸν κοινῶσαι, ἀλλὰ τὰ ἐκπορευόμενά ἐστι τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
16 Ο έχων ώτα διά να ακούη, ας ακούη.
16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
16 Not in this translation
17 Και ότε εισήλθεν εις οίκον από του όχλου, ηρώτων αυτόν οι μαθηταί αυτού περί της παραβολής.
17 When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
17 Καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ περὶ τῆς παραβολῆς.
18 Και λέγει προς αυτούς· Ούτω και σεις ασύνετοι είσθε; δεν καταλαμβάνετε ότι παν το έξωθεν εισερχόμενον εις τον άνθρωπον δεν δύναται να μολύνη αυτόν;
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,
18 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε; οὔπω νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ ἔξωθεν εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον οὐ δύναται αὐτὸν κοινῶσαι;
19 διότι δεν εισέρχεται εις την καρδίαν αυτού, αλλ' εις την κοιλίαν, και εξέρχεται εις τον αφεδρώνα, καθαρίζον πάντα τα φαγητά.
19 because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”
19 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν, ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν, καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται, καθαρίζον πάντα τὰ βρώματα.
20 Έλεγε δε ότι το εξερχόμενον εκ του ανθρώπου, εκείνο μολύνει τον άνθρωπον.
20 He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
20 ἔλεγε δὲ ὅτι τὸ ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκπορευόμενον, ἐκεῖνο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
21 Διότι έσωθεν εκ της καρδίας των ανθρώπων εξέρχονται οι διαλογισμοί οι κακοί, μοιχείαι, πορνείαι, φόνοι,
21 For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
21 ἔσωθεν γὰρ ἐκ τῆς καρδίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ διαλογισμοὶ οἱ κακοὶ ἐκπορεύονται, μοιχεῖαι, πορνεῖαι, φόνοι,
22 κλοπαί, πλεονεξίαι, πονηρίαι, δόλος, ασέλγεια, βλέμμα πονηρόν· βλασφημία, υπερηφανία, αφροσύνη·
22 covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
22 κλοπαί, πλεονεξίαι, πονηρίαι, δόλος, ἀσέλγεια, ὀφθαλμὸς πονηρός, βλασφημία, ὑπερηφανία, ἀφροσύνη·
23 πάντα ταύτα τα πονηρά έσωθεν εξέρχονται και μολύνουσι τον άνθρωπον.
23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
23 πάντα ταῦτα τὰ πονηρὰ ἔσωθεν ἐκπορεύεται καὶ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
24 Και σηκωθείς εκείθεν υπήγεν εις τα μεθόρια Τύρου και Σιδώνος. Και εισελθών εις την οικίαν, δεν ήθελε να μάθη τούτο μηδείς, δεν ηδυνήθη όμως να κρυφθή.
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.
24 Καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀναστὰς ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὰ μεθόρια Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος. καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς οἰκίαν οὐδένα ἤθελε γνῶναι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθη λαθεῖν.
25 Διότι ακούσασα περί αυτού γυνή τις, της οποίας το θυγάτριον είχε πνεύμα ακάθαρτον, ήλθε και προσέπεσεν εις τους πόδας αυτού·
25 For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
25 ἀκούσασα γὰρ γυνὴ περὶ αὐτοῦ, ἧς εἶχε τὸ θυγάτριον αὐτῆς πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον, ἐλθοῦσα προσέπεσε πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ·
26 ήτο δε η γυνή Ελληνίς, Συροφοίνισσα το γένος· και παρεκάλει αυτόν να εκβάλη το δαιμόνιον εκ της θυγατρός αυτής.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
26 ἡ δὲ γυνὴ ἦν Ἑλληνίς, Συροφοινίκισσα τῷ γένει· καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτὸν ἵνα τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐκβάλῃ ἐκ τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς.
27 Ο δε Ιησούς είπε προς αυτήν· Άφες πρώτον να χορτασθώσι τα τέκνα· διότι δεν είναι καλόν να λάβη τις τον άρτον των τέκνων και να ρίψη εις τα κυνάρια.
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.”
27 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ· ἄφες πρῶτον χορτασθῆναι τὰ τέκνα· οὐ γάρ ἐστι καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ τοῖς κυναρίοις βαλεῖν.
28 Η δε απεκρίθη και λέγει προς αυτόν· Ναι, Κύριε· αλλά και τα κυνάρια υποκάτω της τραπέζης τρώγουσιν από των ψιχίων των παιδίων.
28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
28 ἡ δὲ ἀπεκρίθη καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ναί, Κύριε· καὶ τὰ κυνάρια ὑποκάτω τῆς τραπέζης ἐσθίουσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν παιδίων.
29 Και είπε προς αυτήν· Διά τούτον τον λόγον ύπαγε· εξήλθε το δαιμόνιον από της θυγατρός σου.
29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
29 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ· διὰ τοῦτον τὸν λόγον ὕπαγε· ἐξελήλυθε τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐκ τῆς θυγατρός σου.
30 Και ότε υπήγεν εις τον οίκον αυτής, εύρεν ότι το δαιμόνιον εξήλθε και την θυγατέρα κειμένην επί της κλίνης.
30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
30 καὶ ἀπελθοῦσα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς εὗρε τὸ παιδίον βεβλημένον ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην καὶ τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐξεληλυθός.
31 Και πάλιν εξελθών εκ των ορίων Τύρου και Σιδώνος ήλθε προς την θάλασσαν της Γαλιλαίας ανά μέσον των ορίων της Δεκαπόλεως.
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.
31 Καὶ πάλιν ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῶν ὁρίων Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος ἦλθε πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὁρίων Δεκαπόλεως.
32 Και φέρουσι προς αυτόν κωφόν μογιλάλον και παρακαλούσιν αυτόν να επιθέση την χείρα επ' αυτόν.
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.
32 καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτῷ κωφὸν μογιλάλον καὶ παρακαλοῦσιν αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιθῇ αὐτῷ τὴν χεῖρα.
33 Και παραλαβών αυτόν κατ' ιδίαν από του όχλου έβαλε τους δακτύλους αυτού εις τα ώτα αυτού, και πτύσας ήγγισε την γλώσσαν αυτού,
33 He took him aside from the multitude privately and put his fingers into his ears; and he spat and touched his tongue.
33 καὶ ἀπολαβόμενος αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου κατ᾽ ἰδίαν ἔβαλε τοὺς δακτύλους αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πτύσας ἥψατο τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ,
34 και αναβλέψας εις τον ουρανόν, εστέναξε και λέγει προς αυτόν· Εφφαθά, τουτέστιν Ανοίχθητι.
34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
34 καὶ ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐστέναξε καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἐφφαθά, ὅ ἐστι διανοίχθητι.
35 Και ευθύς ηνοίχθησαν τα ώτα αυτού και ελύθη ο δεσμός της γλώσσης αυτού, και ελάλει ορθώς.
35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
35 καὶ εὐθέως διηνοίχθησαν αὐτοῦ αἱ ἀκοαὶ καὶ ἐλύθη ὁ δεσμὸς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλει ὀρθῶς.
36 Και παρήγγειλεν εις αυτούς να μη είπωσι τούτο εις μηδένα· πλην όσον αυτός παρήγγελλεν εις αυτούς, τόσον περισσότερον εκείνοι εκήρυττον.
36 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
36 καὶ διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ εἴπωσιν· ὅσον δὲ αὐτὸς αὐτοῖς διεστέλλετο, μᾶλλον περισσότερον ἐκήρυσσον.
37 Και εξεπλήττοντο καθ' υπερβολήν, λέγοντες· Καλώς έπραξε τα πάντα· και τους κωφούς κάμνει να ακούωσι και τους αλάλους να λαλώσι.
37 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”
37 καὶ ὑπερπερισσῶς ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες· καλῶς πάντα πεποίηκε· καὶ τοὺς κωφοὺς ποιεῖ ἀκούειν καὶ τοὺς ἀλάλους λαλεῖν.

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.
