1Et conveniunt ad eum pharisæi,And the Pharisees and some of the scribes,et quidam de scribis,arriving from Jerusalem,venientes ab Jerosolymis.gathered together before him.

2Et cum vidissent quosdam ex discipulis ejus communibus manibus,And when they had seen certain ones from his disciples eating bread with common hands,id est non lotis,that is,manducare panes,with unwashed hands,vituperaverunt.they disparaged them.

3Pharisæi enim,For the Pharisees,et omnes Judæi,and all the Jews,nisi crebro laverint manus, non manducant,do not eat without repeatedly washing their hands,tenentes traditionem seniorum:holding to the tradition of the elders.

4et a foro nisi baptizentur,And when returning from the market,non comedunt:unless they wash,et alia multa sunt,they do not eat.quæ tradita sunt illis servare,And there are many other things which have been handed down to them to observe:baptismata calicum,the washings of cups,et urceorum,and pitchers,et æramentorum,and bronze containers,et lectorum:and beds.

5et interrogabant eum pharisæi et scribæ:And so the Pharisees and the scribes questioned him:Quare discipuli tui non ambulant juxta traditionem seniorum,“Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders,sed communibus manibus manducant panem?but they eat bread with common hands?”

6At ille respondens,But in response,dixit eis:he said to them:Bene prophetavit Isaias de vobis hypocritis,“So well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites,sicut scriptum est:just as it has been written:Populus hic labiis me honorat,‘This people honors me with their lips,cor autem eorum longe est a me:but their heart is far from me.

7in vanum autem me colunt,And in vain do they worship me,docentes doctrinas,teaching the doctrineset præcepta hominum.and precepts of men.’

8Relinquentes enim mandatum Dei,For abandoning the commandment of God,tenetis traditionem hominum,you hold to the tradition of men,baptismata urceorum et calicum:to the washing of pitchers and cups.et alia similia his facitis multa.And you do many other things similar to these.”

9Et dicebat illis:And he said to them:Bene irritum facitis præceptum Dei,“You effectively nullify the precept of God,ut traditionem vestram servetis.so that you may observe your own tradition.

10Moyses enim dixit:For Moses said:Honora patrem tuum,‘Honor your fatheret matrem tuam.and your mother,’Et:and,Qui maledixerit patri,‘Whoever will have cursed fathervel matri,or mother,morte moriatur.let him die a death.’

11Vos autem dicitis:But you say,Si dixerit homo patri,‘If a man will have said to his fatheraut matri,or mother:Corban (quod est donum) quodcumque ex me,Korban,tibi profuerit:(which is a gift) whatever is from me will be to your benefit,’

12et ultra non dimittitis eum quidquam facere patri suo,then you do not release him to do anything for his fatheraut matri,or mother,

13rescindentes verbum Dei per traditionem vestram,rescinding the word of God through your tradition,quam tradidistis:which you have handed down.et similia hujusmodi multa facitis.And you do many other similar things in this way.”

14Et advocans iterum turbam,And again, calling the crowd to him,dicebat illis:he said to them:Audite me omnes,“Listen to me, all of you,et intelligite.and understand.

15Nihil est extra hominem introiens in eum,There is nothing from outside a man which,quod possit eum coinquinare,by entering into him, is able to defile him.sed quæ de homine procedunt illa sunt quæ communicant hominem.But the things which proceed from a man, these are what pollute a man.

16Si quis habet aures audiendi,Whoever has ears to hear,audiat.let him hear.”

17Et cum introisset in domum a turba,And when he had entered into the house,interrogabant eum discipuli ejus parabolam.away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.

18Et ait illis:And he said to them:Sic et vos imprudentes estis?“So,Non intelligitis quia omne extrinsecus introiens in hominem,are you also without prudence?non potest eum communicare:Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him?

19quia non intrat in cor ejus,For it does not enter into his heart,sed in ventrum vadit,but into the gut,et in secessum exit,and it exits into the sewer,purgans omnes escas?purging all foods.”

20Dicebat autem,“But,”quoniam quæ de homine exeunt,he said “the things which go out from a man,illa communicant hominem.these pollute a man.

21Ab intus enim de corde hominum malæ cogitationes procedunt,For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,adulteria,adulteries,fornicationes,fornications,homicidia,murders,

22furta,thefts,avaritiæ,avarice,nequitiæ,wickedness,dolus,deceitfulness,impudicitiæ,homosexuality,oculus malus,an evil eye,blasphemia,blasphemy,superbia,self-exaltation,stultitia.foolishness.

23Omnia hæc mala ab intus procedunt,All these evils proceed from withinet communicant hominem.and pollute a man.”

24Et inde surgens abiit in fines TyriAnd rising up,et Sidonis:he went from there to the area of Tyre and Sidon.et ingressus domum,And entering into a house,neminem voluit scire,he intended no one to know about it,et non potuit latere.but he was not able to remain hidden.

25Mulier enim statim ut audivit de eo,For a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit,cujus filia habebat spiritum immundum,as soon as she heard about him,intravit,enteredet procidit ad pedes ejus.and fell prostrate at his feet.

26Erat enim mulier gentilis,For the woman was a Gentile,Syrophœnissa genere.by birth a Syro-Phoenician.Et rogabat eum ut dæmonium ejiceret de filia ejus.And she petitioned him, so that he would cast the demon from her daughter.

27Qui dixit illi:And he said to her:Sine prius saturari filios:“First allow the sons to have their fill.non est enim bonum sumere panem filiorum,For it is not good to take away the bread of the sonset mittere canibus.and throw it to the dogs.”

28At illa respondit, et dixit illi:But she responded by saying to him:Utique Domine,“Certainly, Lord.nam et catelli comedunt sub mensa de micis puerorum.Yet the young dogs also eat, under the table, from the crumbs of the children.”

29Et ait illi:And he said to her,Propter hunc sermonem vade:“Because of this saying, go;exiit dæmonium a filia tua.the demon has gone out of your daughter.”

30Et cum abiisset domum suam,And when she had gone to her house,invenit puellam jacentem supra lectum,she found the girl lying on the bed;et dæmonium exiisse.and the demon had gone away.

31Et iterum exiens de finibus Tyri,And again, departing from the borders of Tyre,venit per Sidonem ad mare Galilææ inter medios fines Decapoleos.he went by way of Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the area of the Ten Cities.

32Et adducunt ei surdum,And they brought someone who was deafet mutum,and mute to him.et deprecabantur eum,And they begged him,ut imponat illi manum.so that he would lay his hand upon him.

33Et apprehendens eum de turba seorsum,And taking him away from the crowd,misit digitos suos in auriculas ejus:he put his fingers into his ears;et exspuens,and spitting,tetigit linguam ejus:he touched his tongue.

34et suspiciens in cælum,And gazing up to heaven,ingemuit,he groanedet ait illi:and said to him:Ephphetha,“Ephphatha,”quod est,which is,Adaperire.“Be opened.”

35Et statim apertæ sunt aures ejus,And immediately his ears were opened,et solutum est vinculum linguæ ejus,and the impediment of his tongue was released,et loquebatur recte.and he spoke correctly.

36Et præcepit illis ne cui dicerent.And he instructed them not to tell anyone.Quanto autem eis præcipiebat,But as much as he instructed them,tanto magis plus prædicabant:so much more did they preach about it.

37et eo amplius admirabantur,And so much more did they wonder,dicentes:saying:Bene omnia fecit:“He has done all things well.et surdos fecit audire,He has caused both the deaf to hearet mutos loqui.and the mute to speak.”
