Mga Nakaugaliang Katuruan(A)

Lumapit kay Jesus ang mga Pariseo kasama ang ilang tagapagturo ng Kautusan na galing pa sa Jerusalem. Nakita nila ang ilan sa mga alagad niya na kumakain nang marumi ang mga kamay dahil hindi nahugasan ayon sa kaugalian ng mga Judio.

(Sapagkat ang mga Judio, lalo na ang mga Pariseo, ay hindi kumakain hangga't hindi muna sila nakapaghuhugas ng kamay ayon sa kaugaliang minana nila mula sa kanilang mga ninuno. Hindi rin sila kumakain ng anumang galing sa palengke nang hindi muna ito hinuhugasan.[a] Marami pa silang sinusunod na katuruang minana, tulad ng paghuhugas ng mga tasa, pitsel, sisidlang tanso, [at mga higaan].[b]) Kaya tinanong si Jesus ng mga Pariseo at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan, “Bakit hindi sumusunod ang mga alagad mo sa mga turo ng ating mga ninuno? Kumakain sila nang hindi man lamang naghuhugas ng kamay ayon sa kaugalian.”

Sinagot(B) sila ni Jesus, “Mga mapagkunwari! Tama nga ang sinabi ni Isaias tungkol sa inyo, nang kanyang isulat,

‘Ang paggalang sa akin ng bayang ito ay pakunwari lamang,
    sapagkat ito'y sa bibig at hindi sa puso bumubukal.
Walang kabuluhan ang kanilang pagsamba,
    sapagkat itinuturo nilang galing sa Diyos ang kanilang mga utos.’

Binabaliwala ninyo ang utos ng Diyos, at ang sinusunod ninyo'y mga tradisyon ng tao.”

Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Ang gagaling ninyo! Para lamang masunod ang inyong mga tradisyon, pinapawalang-bisa ninyo ang utos ng Diyos! 10 Halimbawa,(C) iniutos ni Moises na ‘Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ina’, at ‘Ang sinumang lumait sa kanyang ama o ina ay dapat patayin.’ 11 Ngunit itinuturo naman ninyo na kapag sinabi ng isang tao sa kanyang ama o ina, ‘Naihandog ko na sa Diyos[c] ang mga tulong ko sa inyo’; 12 ang taong iyon ay hindi na ninyo pinapatulong sa kanilang mga magulang. 13 Sa gayong paraan, pinapawalang-bisa ninyo ang salita ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng mga itinuturo ninyo. At marami pa kayong ginagawang katulad nito.”

Ang Nagpaparumi sa Tao(D)

14 Muling pinalapit ni Jesus ang mga tao at sinabi sa kanila, “Makinig kayong lahat at unawain ang aking sasabihin! 15 Hindi nagiging marumi ang isang tao dahil sa pagkaing pumapasok sa kanyang bibig, kundi dahil sa lumalabas dito. [16 Makinig ang may pandinig!]”[d]

17 Iniwan ni Jesus ang mga tao, at nang makapasok na siya sa bahay, siya'y tinanong ng kanyang mga alagad tungkol sa talinghaga. 18 “Pati ba naman kayo ay hindi pa rin makaunawa?” tanong ni Jesus. “Hindi ba ninyo alam na hindi nagiging marumi ang isang tao dahil sa pagkaing ipinapasok niya sa kanyang bibig, 19 sapagkat hindi naman iyon pumapasok sa kanyang puso, kundi sa tiyan, at pagkatapos ay idinudumi.” (Sa ganitong paraan ay ipinahayag ni Jesus na ang lahat ng pagkain ay maaaring kainin.)

20 At sinabi rin niya, “Ang lumalabas sa tao ang nagpaparumi sa kanya sa paningin ng Diyos. 21 Sapagkat sa loob, sa puso ng tao, nagmumula ang masasamang isipang nag-uudyok sa kanya upang makiapid, magnakaw, pumatay, 22 mangalunya, mag-imbot, gumawa ng kasamaan tulad ng pandaraya, kahalayan, pagkainggit, paninirang-puri, pagmamayabang, at kahangalan. 23 Ang lahat ng masasamang bagay na ito ay nanggagaling sa puso at dahil sa mga ito ay nagiging marumi ang tao.”

Pinagaling ang Anak ng Babaing Taga-Tiro(E)

24 Umalis doon si Jesus at nagpunta sa lugar na malapit sa Tiro [at ng Sidon].[e] Tumuloy siya sa isang bahay doon at ayaw niyang malaman ninuman na naroon siya. Subalit hindi ganoon ang nangyari. 25 Ang pagdating niya'y nabalitaan ng isang babae na may anak na babaing sinasapian ng masamang espiritu. Pumunta agad kay Jesus ang ina at nagpatirapa sa kanyang harapan. 26 Ang babaing ito'y isang Hentil na taga-Sirofenicia. Nakiusap ito kay Jesus na palayasin ang demonyong sumapi sa kanyang anak. 27 Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Kailangang ang mga anak muna ang pakainin. Hindi dapat kunin ang pagkain ng mga anak upang ihagis sa mga aso.”

28 Tugon ng babae, “Tunay nga po, Panginoon, ngunit maging ang mga asong nasa ilalim ng mesa ay kumakain ng mga nalalaglag mula sa kinakain ng mga anak.”

29 Kaya't sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Dahil sa sinabi mo, maaari ka nang umuwi. Iniwan na ng demonyo ang iyong anak.”

30 Umuwi ang babae at naratnan niya sa higaan ang bata. Iniwan na nga ito ng demonyo.

Ang Pagpapagaling sa Taong Bingi at Pipi

31 Umalis si Jesus mula sa lupain ng Tiro, dumaan sa Sidon at nagtuloy sa Lawa ng Galilea. Tinahak niya ang lupain ng Decapolis. 32 Dinala ng mga tao sa kanya ang isang lalaking bingi at may kapansanan sa pagsasalita, at nakiusap sila sa kanya na ipatong niya rito ang kanyang kamay. 33 Inilayo muna ni Jesus sa karamihan ang lalaki, at isinuot ang kanyang mga daliri sa mga tainga nito. Pagkatapos, dumura si Jesus at ipinahid ito sa dila ng pipi. 34 Tumingala si Jesus sa langit, nagbuntong-hininga at sinabi sa lalaki, “Effata,” na ang ibig sabihi'y, “Mabuksan!”

35 Noon di'y nakarinig ang lalaki at nakapagsalita na nang maayos. 36 Sinabi ni Jesus sa mga tao na huwag ipamalita ito, ngunit habang pinagbabawalan niya ang mga tao ay lalo naman nila itong ipinamamalita. 37 Buong paghangang sinasabi nila, “Napakahusay ng lahat ng kanyang ginagawa! Binibigyan niya ng pandinig ang mga bingi at pinapagsalita ang mga pipi!”

Traditions and Commandments

(A)Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes (B)who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were (C)defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly,[a] holding to (D)the tradition of (E)the elders, and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash.[b] And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as (F)the washing of (G)cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.[c]) And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to (H)the tradition of (I)the elders, (J)but eat with (K)defiled hands?” And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you (L)hypocrites, as it is written,

(M)“‘This people honors me with their lips,
    but their heart is far from me;
in vain do they worship me,
    teaching as (N)doctrines the commandments of men.’

You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”

And he said to them, “You have a fine way of (O)rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! 10 For Moses said, (P)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (Q)‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 11 But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God)[d] 12 then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13 thus (R)making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”

What Defiles a Person

14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, (S)“Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15 (T)There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.”[e] 17 And when he had entered (U)the house and left the people, (V)his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them, “Then (W)are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart (X)but his stomach, and is expelled?”[f] ((Y)Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, (Z)“What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, (AA)murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, (AB)sensuality, (AC)envy, (AD)slander, (AE)pride, (AF)foolishness. 23 (AG)All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith

24 And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.[g] And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. 25 But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. 26 (AH)Now the woman was a (AI)Gentile, (AJ)a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, “Let the children be (AK)fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and (AL)throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's (AM)crumbs.” 29 And he said to her, “For this statement you may (AN)go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” 30 And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

Jesus Heals a Deaf Man

31 (AO)Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to (AP)the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the (AQ)Decapolis. 32 And they brought to him (AR)a man who was deaf and (AS)had a speech impediment, and they begged him to (AT)lay his hand on him. 33 And (AU)taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and (AV)after spitting touched his tongue. 34 And (AW)looking up to heaven, (AX)he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 35 (AY)And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. 36 And (AZ)Jesus[h] charged them to tell no one. But (BA)the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. 37 And they were (BB)astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

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.”
