Human Traditions And God's Commandments
2 'Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they (C)do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
2 “Why do Your disciples(C) break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat!”(a)(D)
2 "Why do your disciples disregard the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands when they eat."
3 And he answering said to them, 'Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
3 And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
3 He answered them, “And why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?
3 But he answered them, "Why do you also disregard the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
4 For God said, ‘(D)Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘(E)He who speaks evil of father or mother is to (a)be put to death.’
4 For God said:(b)Honor your father and your mother;(E)(c) and,The one who speaks evil of father or mothermust be put to death.(F)(d)
4 Because God said, "You are to honor your father and your mother,' and, "Whoever curses father or mother must certainly be put to death.'
5 but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering is whatever thou mayest be profited by me; --
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been (b)given to God,”
5 But you say, ‘Whoever tells his father or mother, “Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple”—
5 But you say, "Whoever tells his father or his mother, "Whatever support you might have received from me has been given to God,"
6 and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
6 he is not to honor his father or his mother(c).’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
6 he does not have to honor his father.’(e) In this way, you have revoked God’s word(f) because of your tradition.
6 does not have to honor his father.' Because of your tradition, then, you have disregarded the authority of God's word.
7 'Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
7 You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:
7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said:
7 You hypocrites! How well did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said,

Defilement From Within
10 And having called near the multitude, he said to them, 'Hear and understand:
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
10 After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand.

11 not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.'
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
11 (H)It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
11 It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles(H) a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”(I)

17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
17 Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is (h)eliminated?
17 “Don’t you realize(k) that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated?(l)
17 Don't you know that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and then is expelled as waste?
18 but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and it is those things that make a person unclean.
19 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
19 (N)For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, (i)fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.
19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies,(N) blasphemies.(O)
19 It is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander.
20 these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.'
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
20 These are the things that defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”(P)
20 These are the things that make a person unclean. But eating with unwashed hands doesn't make a person unclean."
A Canaanite Woman's Great Faith
22 and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, 'Deal kindly with me, Sir -- Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, (R)Son of David; my daughter is cruelly (S)demon-possessed.”

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting (j)at us.”
23 Yet He did not say a word to her. So His disciples(T) approached Him and urged Him, “Send her away because she cries out after us.”(n)
23 But he didn't answer her at all. Then his disciples came up and kept urging him, "Send her away, because she keeps on screaming as she follows us."
26 and he answering said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
26 And He answered and said, “It is not (l)good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
26 He replied, "It's not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the puppies."
27 And she said, 'Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;'
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord; (m)but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
27 “Yes, Lord,” she said, “yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table!”
27 She said, "Yes, Lord. But even the puppies eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' tables."
28 then answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great is thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, (V)your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed (n)at once.
28 Then Jesus replied to her, “Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want.” And from that moment(o) her daughter was cured.(W)
28 Then Jesus answered her, "Lady, your faith is great! What you want is granted." That very hour her daughter was healed.
