Jesus

And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem,

and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands--that is, unwashed--eating bread, they found fault;

Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?'

and he answering said to them--`Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honour Me, and their heart is far from Me;

and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands of men;

And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand;

And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

and he saith to them, `So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?

And he said--`That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;

And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,

for a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, --

and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation--and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter.

And Jesus said to her, `Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the little dogs.'

And she answered and saith to him, `Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.'

And he said to her, `Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;'

And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis,

and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him.

And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue,

and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, `Ephphatha,' that is, `Be thou opened;'

And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming it ,

and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, `Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'
