Se tonajli sequimej fariseos niman sequimej temachtijquej ican itlanahuatil Dios ohualejquej ne Jerusalén, niman onosentlalijquej ne itech Jesús. Ijcuac nemiyaj ihuan Jesús, yejhuamej oquitaquej ica sequimej inomachtijcahuan Jesús tlacuayaj, masqui xnomajtequiayaj quen on huehuetquej tlajtlajmatquej oquijtocaj ica nonequi nomajtequisquej. On fariseos niman nochimej on hebreos xtlacuaj, tla xachtoj nomajtequiaj quen on huehuetquej tlajtlajmatquej oquijtojcaj ica cuajli para quichihuasquej. In se ejemplo. Ijcuac huajnocuepaj ne plaza, achtoj nomajtequiaj quen on tlajtlajmatquej huehuetquej oquijtojcaj ica cuajli para quichihuasquej, niman quemaj tlacuasquej. Niman quipiaj ocsequi miyec tlanahuatijli no ijqui quejehuasquej, ijcon quen quimpajpacayaj on contzitzintin, niman on tazas niman on teposcontin. Quemaj on fariseos niman on temachtijquej ican itlanahuatil Dios oquitlajtoltijquej Jesús:

―¿Tlica on monomachtijcahuan xnomajtequiyaj ijcon quen otechititijquej on huehuetquej tlajtlajmatquej?

Jesús oquinnanquilij:

―Cuajli oquijtoj on tiotlajtojquetl Isaías nemotechcopa nemejhuamej omexayacyequej, ijcuac oquijcuiloj quen Dios oquijtoj. Oquijtoj:
Yejhuamej in tlacamej nechtlacaitaj san ica incamac, pero xnechtlacaitaj ican inyojlo. Sanencaj nechmahuistiliaj, pampa yejhuamej quitemachtiaj on tlanahuatiltin yejhuan on tlacamej oquitlalijquej quen itlanahuatilhuan yesquiaj Dios.

Quemaj Jesús oquimijlij:

―Xnenquitlacamatij on tlinon Dios omechnahuatij, pero nenquitlacamatij yejhua on tlinon on huehuetquej tlajtlajmatquej otemachtijcaj. Niman nenquichihuaj ocsequi miyec tlajtlamach no ijqui.

Niman quemaj oquimijlij:

―Nemocajcayahuaj niman nentecajcayahuaj, ijcuac nenquejcuaniaj itlanahuatil Dios para nentemachtiaj quen nemejhuamej nemohuicaj. 10 Ijquin nentecajcayahuaj. Moisés otlanahuatij: “Xtlacaita motaj niman monan.” Niman no oquijtoj: “Yejhuan itlaj xcuajli quitenehuilis itaj noso inan, ma quimictican.” 11 Pero nemejhuamej nenquijtohuaj ica se tlacatl huelis quijlis itaj noso inan: “Xhuelis nimitzpalehuis ica on tlen mitzpolohua pampa yej Corbán.” (Corbán quijtosnequi on tlinon nicpia yonicmactilij Dios). 12 Ijcon xnencahuiliaj ma quipalehui itaj noso inan. 13 Ijcon, tej, nemejhuamej onenquichijquej quen xitlaj quijtosnequi on itlanahuatil Dios, pampa nemohuicaj ipan on costumbres yejhuan on huehuetquej tlajtlajmatquej otemachtijquej. Niman nenquichihuaj miyec ocsequi tlajtlamach sa no ijqui.

14 Quemaj Jesús oquinnotz nochimej on tlacamej, niman oquimijlij:

―Xcaquican nemochimej niman xcajsicamatican. 15 On tlen calaqui icamac se tlacatl xejhua quijtlacohua, pero on yejhuan quisa ipan iyojlo, on quemaj yejhua quijtlacohua. 16 Tla nemejhuamej nenquipiaj nemotlamachilis, xcajsicamatican on tlen oniquijtoj.

17 Quemaj ijcuac Jesús oquincajteu on tlacamej niman ocalaquito ipan techan, inomachtijcahuan oquitlajtoltijquej para ma quimijli tlinon quijtosnequi on ejemplo. 18 Jesús oquinnanquilij:

―¿Nemejhuamej no xonencajsicamatquej on tlinon oniquijtoj? Xnencajsicamatij ica nochi tlen calaqui ipan icamac se tlacatl xejhua quijtlacohua, 19 pampa on tlinon quicua xcalaqui ne ipan iyojlo, yej calaqui ne ijtic icuitlaxcol, niman quemaj quisa ne ipan itlalnacayo.

Ijcon oquijtoj ica nochi quech tlacuajli oncaj cuajli para nocuas. 20 Niman no quijtohuaya:

―On yejhuan quisa ipan iyojlo se tlacatl, on quemaj quijtlacohua, 21 pampa ne ijtic iyojlo quisa on xcuajcualtin tlamachilistin, sihuapajpatlalistli, tlacapajpatlalistli, on ahuilnemilistli, temictilistli, 22 tlachtequilistli, on tlen xcuajli elehuilistli, tlacajcayahualistli, xtetlacamatilistli, nexicolistli tetlajtojquetztehuilistli, nohueyimatilistli, tontojtililistli niman nochi tlajtlamach tlen xcuajli nochihua. 23 Nochi in yejhuan xcuajli hualehua ne ipan iyojlo se tlacatl, niman yejhua ica más nijtlacohua.

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.”
