7:1 Then 2532 came together 4863 5743 unto 4314 him 846 the Pharisees 5330, and 2532 certain 5100 of the scribes 1122, which came 2064 5631 from 575 Jerusalem 2414.

7:2 And 2532 when they saw 1492 5631 some 5100 of his 846 disciples 3101 eat 2068 5723 bread 740 with defiled 2839, that is to say 5123 5748, with unwashen 449, hands 5495, they found fault 3201 5662.(defiled: or, common)

7:3 For 1063 the Pharisees 5330, and 2532 all 3956 the Jews 2453, except 3362 they wash 3538 5672 [their] hands 5495 oft 4435, eat 2068 5719 not 3756, holding 2902 5723 the tradition 3862 of the elders 4245.(oft: or, diligently: in the original, with the fist: Theophylact, up to the elbow)

7:4 And 2532 [when they come] from 575 the market 58, except 3362 they wash 907 5672, they eat 2068 5719 not 3756. And 2532 many 4183 other things 243 there be 2076 5748, which 3739 they have received 3880 5627 to hold 2902 5721, [as] the washing 909 of cups 4221, and 2532 pots 3582, 2532 brasen vessels 5473, and 2532 of tables 2825.(pots: sextarius is about a pint and an half)(tables: or, beds)

7:5 Then 1899 the Pharisees 5330 and 2532 scribes 1122 asked 1905 5719 him 846, Why 1302 walk 4043 5719 not 3756 thy 4675 disciples 3101 according 2596 to the tradition 3862 of the elders 4245, but 235 eat 2068 5719 bread 740 with unwashen 449 hands 5495?

7:6 He answered 611 5679 and 1161 said 2036 5627 unto them 846, 3754 Well 2573 hath Esaias 2268 prophesied 4395 5656 of 4012 you 5216 hypocrites 5273, as 5613 it is written 1125 5769, This 3778 people 2992 honoureth 5091 5719 me 3165 with [their] lips 5491, but 1161 their 846 heart 2588 is 568 5719 far 4206 from 575 me 1700.

7:7 Howbeit 1161 in vain 3155 do they worship 4576 5736 me 3165, teaching 1321 5723 [for] doctrines 1319 the commandments 1778 of men 444.

7:8 For 1063 laying aside 863 5631 the commandment 1785 of God 2316, ye hold 2902 5719 the tradition 3862 of men 444, [as] the washing 909 of pots 3582 and 2532 cups 4221: and 2532 many 4183 other 243 such 5108 like things 3946 ye do 4160 5719.

7:9 And 2532 he said 3004 5707 unto them 846, Full well 2573 ye reject 114 5719 the commandment 1785 of God 2316, that 2443 ye may keep 5083 5661 your own 5216 tradition 3862.(reject: or, frustrate)

7:10 For 1063 Moses 3475 said 2036 5627, Honour 5091 5720 thy 4675 father 3962 and 2532 thy 4675 mother 3384; and 2532, Whoso curseth 2551 5723 father 3962 or 2228 mother 3384, let him die 5053 5720 the death 2288:

7:11 But 1161 ye 5210 say 3004 5719, If 1437 a man 444 shall say 2036 5632 to his father 3962 or 2228 mother 3384, [It is] Corban 2878, that is to say 3603, a gift 1435, by 1537 whatsoever 3739 1437 thou mightest be profited by 5623 5686 me 1700; [he shall be free].

7:12 And 2532 ye suffer 863 5719 him 846 no more 3765 to do 4160 5658 ought 3762 for his 846 father 3962 or 2228 his 846 mother 3384;

7:13 Making 208 0 the word 3056 of God 2316 of none effect 208 5723 through your 5216 tradition 3862, which 3739 ye have delivered 3860 5656: and 2532 many 4183 such 5108 like things 3946 do ye 4160 5719.

7:14 And 2532 when he had called 4341 5666 all 3956 the people 3793 [unto him], he said 3004 5707 unto them 846, Hearken 191 5720 unto me 3450 every one 3956 [of you], and 2532 understand 4920 5720:

7:15 There is 2076 5748 nothing 3762 from without 1855 a man 444, that 3739 entering 1531 5740 into 1519 him 846 can 1410 5736 defile 2840 5658 him 846: but 235 the things which come 1607 5740 out of 575 him 846, those 1565 are they 2076 5748 that defile 2840 5723 the man 444.

7:16 If any man 1536 have 2192 5719 ears 3775 to hear 191 5721, let him hear 191 5720.

7:17 And 2532 when 3753 he was entered 1525 5627 into 1519 the house 3624 from 575 the people 3793, his 846 disciples 3101 asked 1905 5707 him 846 concerning 4012 the parable 3850.

7:18 And 2532 he saith 3004 5719 unto them 846, Are 2075 5748 ye 5210 so 3779 without understanding 801 also 2532? Do ye 3539 0 not 3756 perceive 3539 5719, that 3754 whatsoever thing 3956 from without 1855 entereth 1531 5740 into 1519 the man 444, [it] cannot 3756 1410 5736 defile 2840 5658 him 846;

7:19 Because 3754 it entereth 1531 5736 not 3756 into 1519 his 846 heart 2588, but 235 into 1519 the belly 2836, and 2532 goeth out 1607 5736 into 1519 the draught 856, purging 2511 5723 all 3956 meats 1033?

7:20 And 1161 he said 3004 5707, 3754 That which cometh 1607 5740 out of 1537 the man 444, that 1565 defileth 2840 5719 the man 444.

7:21 For 1063 from within 2081, out of 1537 the heart 2588 of men 444, proceed 1607 5736 evil 2556 thoughts 1261, adulteries 3430, fornications 4202, murders 5408,

7:22 Thefts 2829, covetousness 4124, wickedness 4189, deceit 1388, lasciviousness 766, an evil 4190 eye 3788, blasphemy 988, pride 5243, foolishness 877:(covetousness…: Gr. covetousnesses, wickednesses)

7:23 All 3956 these 5023 evil things 4190 come 1607 5736 from within 2081, and 2532 defile 2840 5719 the man 444.

7:24 And 2532 from thence 1564 he arose 450 5631, and went 565 5627 into 1519 the borders 3181 of Tyre 5184 and 2532 Sidon 4605, and 2532 entered 1525 5631 into 1519 an house 3614, and would have 2309 5707 no man 3762 know 1097 5629 [it]: but 2532 he could 1410 5675 not 3756 be hid 2990 5629.

7:25 For 1063 a [certain] woman 1135, whose 3739 846 young daughter 2365 had 2192 5707 an unclean 169 spirit 4151, heard 191 5660 of 4012 him 846, and came 2064 5631 and fell 4363 5627 at 4314 his 846 feet 4228:

7:26 1161 The woman 1135 was 2258 5713 a Greek 1674, a Syrophenician 4949 by nation 1085; and 2532 she besought 2065 5707 him 846 that 2443 he would cast forth 1544 5725 the devil 1140 out of 1537 her 846 daughter 2364.(Greek: or, Gentile)(Greek: or, Gentile)

7:27 But 1161 Jesus 2424 said 2036 5627 unto her 846, Let 863 5628 the children 5043 first 4412 be filled 5526 5683: for 1063 it is 2076 5748 not 3756 meet 2570 to take 2983 5629 the children's 5043 bread 740, and 2532 to cast 906 5629 [it] unto the dogs 2952.

7:28 And 1161 she answered 611 5662 and 2532 said 3004 5719 unto him 846, Yes 3483, Lord 2962: yet 2532 1063 the dogs 2952 under 5270 the table 5132 eat 2068 5719 of 575 the children's 3813 crumbs 5589.

7:29 And 2532 he said 2036 5627 unto her 846, For 1223 this 5126 saying 3056 go thy way 5217 5720; the devil 1140 is gone 1831 5758 out of 1537 thy 4675 daughter 2364.

7:30 And 2532 when she was come 565 5631 to 1519 her 846 house 3624, she found 2147 5627 the devil 1140 gone out 1831 5761, and 2532 her daughter 2364 laid 906 5772 upon 1909 the bed 2825.

7:31 And 2532 again 3825, departing 1831 5631 from 1537 the coasts 3725 of Tyre 5184 and 2532 Sidon 4605, he came 2064 5627 unto 4314 the sea 2281 of Galilee 1056, through 303 the midst 3319 of the coasts 3725 of Decapolis 1179.

7:32 And 2532 they bring 5342 5719 unto him 846 one that was deaf 2974, and had an impediment in his speech 3424; and 2532 they beseech 3870 5719 him 846 to 2443 put 2007 5632 his hand 5495 upon him 846.

7:33 And 2532 he took 618 5642 him 846 aside 2596 2398 from 575 the multitude 3793, and put 906 5627 his 846 fingers 1147 into 1519 his 846 ears 3775, and 2532 he spit 4429 5660, and touched 680 5662 his 846 tongue 1100;

7:34 And 2532 looking up 308 5660 to 1519 heaven 3772, he sighed 4727 5656, and 2532 saith 3004 5719 unto him 846, Ephphatha 2188, that is 3603, Be opened 1272 5682.

7:35 And 2532 straightway 2112 his 846 ears 189 were opened 1272 5681, and 2532 the string 1199 of his 846 tongue 1100 was loosed 3089 5681, and 2532 he spake 2980 5707 plain 3723.

7:36 And 2532 he charged 1291 5668 them 846 that 2443 they should tell 2036 5632 no man 3367: but 1161 the more 3745 he 846 charged 1291 5710 them 846, so much the more 3123 a great deal 4054 they published 2784 5707 [it];

7:37 And 2532 were beyond measure 5249 astonished 1605 5712, saying 3004 5723, He hath done 4160 5758 all things 3956 well 2573: he maketh 4160 5719 both 2532 the deaf 2974 to hear 191 5721, and 2532 the dumb 216 to speak 2980 5721.
