¶ Farizyen yo ak kèk dirèktè lalwa te soti Jerizalèm. Yo sanble bò kote Jezi.

Yo wè te gen nan disip li yo ki t'ap manje ak men yo tou sal, sa vle di, san yo pa t' lave men yo anvan.

Farizyen yo ak tout lòt jwif yo pa t' janm manje san yo pa t' lave men yo byen lave. Nan sa, yo t'ap swiv koutim granmoun lontan yo.

Lè yo soti nan mache, sa pa t' bon non plis pou yo te manje san yo pa t' pran yon beny anvan. Yo te gen yon bann lòt koutim konsa ankò yo t'ap swiv. Pa egzanp, yo te gen yon jan pou yo lave chak bagay, yon jan pou gode yo, yon jan pou krich yo, yon jan pou mamit yo, yon jan pou lave menm kabann yo.

Se sak fè, farizyen yo ak dirèktè lalwa yo mande Jezi: -Poukisa disip ou yo pa swiv koutim granmoun lontan yo? Men y'ap manje ak men yo tou sal.

Jezi reponn yo: -Bann ipokrit! Ezayi te gen rezon lè l' t'ap pale sou nou, jan sa ekri a: Se nan bouch pèp sa a respekte m', men kè yo byen lwen mwen.

Se tan yo y'ap pèdi lè y'ap fè sèvis pou mwen. Paske nan leson yo, se pawòl lèzòm y'ap moutre moun.

Jezi di yo konsa: -Nou mete kòmandman Bondye yo sou kote pou nou swiv koutim moun etabli.

Li di yo tou: -Nou byen konnen jan pou nou vire kòmandman Bondye yo voye jete, pou nou ka kenbe pwòp pawòl pa nou yo.

10 Tande byen. Moyiz di konsa: Respekte papa ou ak manman ou. Li di ankò: Si yon moun pale papa l' ak manman l' mal, se pou yo touye li.

11 Men nou menm, nou di: Si yon moun di papa l' osinon manman l': Tou sa m' ta gen pou m' ede ou la, li kòban (sa vle di: se yon ofrann mwen mete apa pou Bondye),

12 nan ka sa a, li pa bezwen fè anyen pou papa l' osinon manman li.

13 Se konsa nou fè pawòl Bondye yo pase pou anyen ak pawòl pa nou n'ap transmèt yonn bay lòt. Nou fè anpil lòt bagay konsa ankò.

14 Apre sa, Jezi rele foul moun yo vin bò kote l' ankò. Li di yo konsa: -Nou tout, tande byen sa m'ap di nou la a; manyè konprann sa.

15 Se pa bagay deyò ki antre anndan yon moun lè l'ap manje ki kapab mete l' nan kondisyon pou li pa ka sèvi Bondye.

16 Men, se sak sot nan kè l' ki ka mete l' nan kondisyon sa a. Si nou gen zòrèy poun tande, tande.

17 Lè l' fin kite foul moun yo dèyè, li antre nan kay la. Disip li yo mande l' esplike yo parabòl sa a.

18 Li di yo: -Nou menm tou, nou san konprann toujou? Nou pa konprann pawòl sa a: Tout bagay ki sot deyò antre anndan yon moun pa kapab mete l' nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.

19 Paske, manje pa antre nan kè moun. Men, sa pase nan vant; apre, yo jete sa nan latrin. (Lè l' pale konsa, Jezi fè yo konprann tout manje bon.)

20 Li di yo ankò: -Sa ki soti nan kè yon nonm, se sa ki mete l' nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.

21 Se nan kè yon moun, se anndan li tout move lide soti: lide fè ou fè tout move bagay, li fè ou vòlè, li fè ou touye moun;

22 li fè ou fè adiltè, li fè ou renmen lajan. Li rann ou mechan, fentè, li lage ou nan libètenaj, li ba ou gwo je, li fè ou pale moun mal, li fè ou gen lògèy, li rann ou fou.

23 Tout move bagay sa yo, se nan kè moun sa soti, se yo ki mete yon moun nan kondisyon pou l' pa ka fè sèvis Bondye.

24 ¶ Jezi kite kote li te ye a, li ale nan zòn ki nan vwazinaj lavil Tir la. li antre nan yon kay, li pa t' vle pesonn konnen li te la. Men, li pa t' kapab rete kache.

25 Se konsa te gen yon fanm ki te gen yon pitit fi l' ak yon move lespri sou li. Li tande pale sou Jezi. Menm lè a, li kouri vin bò kote l', li lage kò l' nan pye Jezi.

26 (Fanm sa a pa t' jwif, se moun peyi Siri, nan yon seksyon yo rele Fenisi.) Li te fè Jezi demann sa a: -Tanpri souple, chase move lespri ki sou pitit fi m' lan.

27 Men Jezi di l' konsa: -Kite vant ti moun yo plen anvan; paske sa pa bon pou wete pen nan bouch timoun pou bay ti chen.

28 Fanm lan reponn li: -Se vre wi, Mèt. Men, ti chen ki anba tab manje ti kal pen timoun jete atè.

29 Lè sa a Jezi di li: -Poutèt pawòl sa a, ou mèt al lakay ou: move lespri a soti sou pitit fi ou la.

30 Lè fanm lan rive lakay li, li jwenn pitit la kouche byen trankil sou kabann lan. Move lespri a te gen tan soti sou li.

31 ¶ Jezi kite zòn lavil Tir la. Li pase lavil Sidon, li travèse nan mitan peyi Dis Vil yo; li tounen lòt bò lanmè Galile a.

32 Yo mennen yon nonm ba li: nonm lan te soudè epi li pa t' pale byen. Yo mande Jezi pou li mete men l' sou tèt nonm lan.

33 Men Jezi pran men nonm lan, li fè l' soti nan mitan foul moun yo, li mennen l' sou kote. Li mete dwèt li nan zòrèy nonm lan, li krache, epi li manyen lang nonm lan.

34 Apre sa, li leve je l' nan syèl la, li bay yon soupi. Li di: -Efata! (ki vle di: Louvri!)

35 Latou, zòrèy nonm lan louvri, lang nonm lan demare nan bouch li epi li pran pale trè byen.

36 Jezi te mande yo tout pou yo pa t' di pesonn sa. Men plis li te defann yo pale se plis yo te mache pale bagay la.

37 Moun yo te pi sezi ankò. Yo t'ap di: -Nonm sa a fè tout afè l' byen. Li fè soudè yo tande, li fè bèbè yo pale.

That Which Defiles(A)

The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled,(B) that is, unwashed. (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.(C) When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.[a])(D)

So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders(E) instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”

He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

“‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain;
    their teachings are merely human rules.’[b](F)

You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”(G)

And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe[c] your own traditions!(H) 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[d](I) and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[e](J) 11 But you say(K) that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God(L) by your tradition(M) that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” [16] [f]

17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him(N) about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods(O) clean.)(P)

20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed,(Q) malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

Jesus Honors a Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith(R)

24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.[g](S) He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit(T) came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man(U)

31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre(V) and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee(W) and into the region of the Decapolis.[h](X) 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk,(Y) and they begged Jesus to place his hand on(Z) him.

33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit(AA) and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven(AB) and with a deep sigh(AC) said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.(AD)

36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone.(AE) But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
