Mark 7

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered round him,	1 Και συναγονται προς αυτον οι Φαρισαιοι και τινες των γραμματεων, ελθοντες απο Ιεροσολυμων?
2 and they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with unclean hands, that is, without washingthem.	2 και ιδοντες τινας των μαθητων αυτου τρωγοντας αρτους με χειρας μεμολυσμενας, τουτεστιν ανιπτους, εμεμφθησαν αυτους?
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, keep the tradition of the elders and never eat without washing theirarms as far as the elbow;	3 διοτι οι Φαρισαιοι και παντες οι Ιουδαιοι, εαν δεν νιψωσι μεχρι του αγκωνος τας χειρας, δεν τρωγουσι, κρατουντες την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων?
4 and on returning from the market place they never eat without first sprinkling themselves. There arealso many other observances which have been handed down to them to keep, concerning the washing of cupsand pots and bronze dishes.	4 και επιστρεψαντες απο της αγορας, εαν δεν νιφθωσι, δεν τρωγουσιν? ειναι και αλλα πολλα, τα οποια παρελαβον να φυλαττωσι, πλυματα ποτηριων και ξεστων και σκευων χαλκινων και κλινων?
5 So the Pharisees and scribes asked him, 'Why do your disciples not respect the tradition of the eldersbut eat their food with unclean hands?'	5 επειτα ερωτωσιν αυτον οι Φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις? Διατι οι μαθηται σου δεν περιπατουσι κατα την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων, αλλα με χειρας ανιπτους τρωγουσι τον αρτον;
6 He answered, 'How rightly Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites in the passage of scripture: Thispeople honours me only with lip-service, while their hearts are far from me.	6 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? οτι καλως προεφητευσεν ο Ησαιας περι υμων των υποκριτων, ως ειναι γεγραμμενον? Ουτος ο λαος δια των χειλεων με τιμα, η δε καρδια αυτων μακραν απεχει απ' εμου.
7 Their reverence of me is worthless; the lessons they teach are nothing but human commandments.	7 Εις ματην δε με σεβονται, διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων.
8 You put aside the commandment of God to observe human traditions.'	8 Διοτι αφησαντες την εντολην του Θεου, κρατειτε την παραδοσιν των ανθρωπων, πλυματα ξεστων και ποτηριων, και αλλα παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα καμνετε.
9 And he said to them, 'How ingeniously you get round the commandment of God in order to preserveyour own tradition!	9 Και ελεγε προς αυτους? Καλως αθετειτε την εντολην του Θεου, δια να φυλαττητε την παραδοσιν σας.
10 For Moses said: Honour your father and your mother, and, Anyone who curses father or mother mustbe put to death.	10 Διοτι ο Μωυσης ειπε? Τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου. και? Ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα εξαπαντος να θανατονηται?
11 But you say, "If a man says to his father or mother: Anything I have that I might have used to help youis Korban (that is, dedicated to God),"	11 σεις ομως λεγετε? Εαν ανθρωπος ειπη προς τον πατερα η προς την μητερα, Κορβαν, τουτεστι δωρον, ειναι ο, τι ηθελες ωφεληθη εξ εμου, αρκει,
12 then he is forbidden from that moment to do anything for his father or mother.	12 και δεν αφινετε πλεον αυτον να καμη ουδεν εις τον πατερα αυτου η εις την μητερα αυτου,
13 In this way you make God's word ineffective for the sake of your tradition which you have handeddown. And you do many other things like this.'	13 ακυρουντες τον λογον του Θεου χαριν της παραδοσεως σας, την οποιαν παρεδωκατε? και καμνετε παρομοια τοιαυτα πολλα.
14 He called the people to him again and said, 'Listen to me, al of you, and understand.	14 Και προσκαλεσας παντα τον οχλον, ελεγε προς αυτους? Ακουετε μου παντες και νοειτε.
15 Nothing that goes into someone from outside can make that person unclean; it is the things that comeout of someone that make that person unclean.	15 Δεν ειναι ουδεν εισερχομενον εξωθεν του ανθρωπου εις αυτον, το οποιον δυναται να μολυνη αυτον, αλλα τα εξερχομενα απ' αυτου, εκεινα ειναι τα μολυνοντα τον ανθρωπον.
16 Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!'	16 Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.
17 When he had gone into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about theparable.	17 Και οτε εισηλθεν εις οικον απο του οχλου, ηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου περι της παραβολης.
18 He said to them, 'Even you -- don't you understand? Can't you see that nothing that goes intosomeone from outside can make that person unclean,	18 Και λεγει προς αυτους? Ουτω και σεις ασυνετοι εισθε; δεν καταλαμβανετε οτι παν το εξωθεν εισερχομενον εις τον ανθρωπον δεν δυναται να μολυνη αυτον;
19 because it goes not into the heart but into the stomach and passes into the sewer?' (Thus hepronounced al foods clean.)	19 διοτι δεν εισερχεται εις την καρδιαν αυτου, αλλ' εις την κοιλιαν, και εξερχεται εις τον αφεδρωνα, καθαριζον παντα τα φαγητα.
20 And he went on, 'It is what comes out of someone that makes that person unclean.	20 Ελεγε δε οτι το εξερχομενον εκ του ανθρωπου, εκεινο μολυνει τον ανθρωπον.
21 For it is from within, from the heart, that evil intentions emerge: fornication, theft, murder,	21 Διοτι εσωθεν εκ της καρδιας των ανθρωπων εξερχονται οι διαλογισμοι οι κακοι, μοιχειαι, πορνειαι, φονοι,
22 adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, fol y.	22 κλοπαι, πλεονεξιαι, πονηριαι, δολος, ασελγεια, βλεμμα πονηρον? βλασφημια, υπερηφανια, αφροσυνη?
23 Al these evil things come from within and make a person unclean.'	23 παντα ταυτα τα πονηρα εσωθεν εξερχονται και μολυνουσι τον ανθρωπον.
24 He left that place and set out for the territory of Tyre. There he went into a house and did not wantanyone to know he was there; but he could not pass unrecognised.	24 Και σηκωθεις εκειθεν υπηγεν εις τα μεθορια Τυρου και Σιδωνος. Και εισελθων εις την οικιαν, δεν ηθελε να μαθη τουτο μηδεις, δεν ηδυνηθη ομως να κρυφθη.
25 At once a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him and came and fel at hisfeet.	25 Διοτι ακουσασα περι αυτου γυνη τις, της οποιας το θυγατριον ειχε πνευμα ακαθαρτον, ηλθε και προσεπεσεν εις τους ποδας αυτου?
26 Now this woman was a gentile, by birth a Syro-Phoenician, and she begged him to drive the devil outof her daughter.	26 ητο δε η γυνη Ελληνις, Συροφοινισσα το γενος? και παρεκαλει αυτον να εκβαλη το δαιμονιον εκ της θυγατρος αυτης.
27 And he said to her, 'The children should be fed first, because it is not fair to take the children's foodand throw it to little dogs.'	27 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτην? Αφες πρωτον να χορτασθωσι τα τεκνα? διοτι δεν ειναι καλον να λαβη τις τον αρτον των τεκνων και να ριψη εις τα κυναρια.
28 But she spoke up, 'Ah yes, sir,' she replied, 'but little dogs under the table eat the scraps from thechildren.'	28 Η δε απεκριθη και λεγει προς αυτον? Ναι, Κυριε? αλλα και τα κυναρια υποκατω της τραπεζης τρωγουσιν απο των ψιχιων των παιδιων.
29 And he said to her, 'For saying this you may go home happy; the devil has gone out of your daughter.'	29 Και ειπε προς αυτην? Δια τουτον τον λογον υπαγε? εξηλθε το δαιμονιον απο της θυγατρος σου.
30 So she went off home and found the child lying on the bed and the devil gone.	30 Και οτε υπηγεν εις τον οικον αυτης, ευρεν οτι το δαιμονιον εξηλθε και την θυγατερα κειμενην επι της κλινης.
31 Returning from the territory of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon towards the Lake of Galilee, right throughthe Decapolis territory.	31 Και παλιν εξελθων εκ των οριων Τυρου και Σιδωνος ηλθε προς την θαλασσαν της Γαλιλαιας ανα μεσον των οριων της Δεκαπολεως.
32 And they brought him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they asked him to lay hishand on him.	32 Και φερουσι προς αυτον κωφον μογιλαλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον να επιθεση την χειρα επ' αυτον.
33 He took him aside to be by themselves, away from the crowd, put his fingers into the man's ears andtouched his tongue with spittle.	33 Και παραλαβων αυτον κατ' ιδιαν απο του οχλου εβαλε τους δακτυλους αυτου εις τα ωτα αυτου, και πτυσας ηγγισε την γλωσσαν αυτου,
34 Then looking up to heaven he sighed; and he said to him, 'Ephphatha,' that is, 'Be opened.'	34 και αναβλεψας εις τον ουρανον, εστεναξε και λεγει προς αυτον? Εφφαθα, τουτεστιν Ανοιχθητι.
35 And his ears were opened, and at once the impediment of his tongue was loosened and he spokeclearly.	35 Και ευθυς ηνοιχθησαν τα ωτα αυτου και ελυθη ο δεσμος της γλωσσης αυτου, και ελαλει ορθως.
36 And Jesus ordered them to tel no one about it, but the more he insisted, the more widely theyproclaimed it.	36 Και παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους να μη ειπωσι τουτο εις μηδενα? πλην οσον αυτος παρηγγελλεν εις αυτους, τοσον περισσοτερον εκεινοι εκηρυττον.
37 Their admiration was unbounded, and they said, 'Everything he does is good, he makes the deaf hearand the dumb speak.'	37 Και εξεπληττοντο καθ' υπερβολην, λεγοντες? Καλως επραξε τα παντα? και τους κωφους καμνει να ακουωσι και τους αλαλους να λαλωσι.
