	GENEVA Geneva Bible of 1587	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Then gathered vnto him the Pharises, and certaine of the Scribes which came from Hierusalem.	Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,	The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus
2	And when they sawe some of his disciples eate meate with common hands, (that is to say, vnwashen) they complained.	they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.	and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.
3	(For the Pharises, and all the Iewes, except they wash their hands oft, eate not, holding the tradition of the Elders.	(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders,	(The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4	And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eate not: and many other things there be, which they haue taken vpon them to obserue, as the washing of cups, and pots, and of brasen vessels, and of beds.)	and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.)	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.)
5	Then asked him the Pharises and Scribes, Why walke not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eate meate with vnwashen hands?	And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?”	So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”
6	Then hee answered and sayd vnto them, Surely Esay hath prophecied well of you, hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth mee with lippes, but their heart is farre away from me.	And he said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;	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.
7	But they worship me in vaine, teaching for doctrines the commandements of men.	in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’	They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
8	For ye lay the commaundement of God apart, and obserue the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and of cups, and many other such like things ye doe.	You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”	You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
9	And he sayd vnto them, Well, ye reiect the commandement of God, that ye may obserue your owne tradition.	And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!	And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!
10	For Moses sayd, Honour thy father and thy mother: and Whosoeuer shall speake euill of father or mother, let him die the death.	For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’	For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’
11	But yee say, If a man say to father or mother, Corban, that is, By the gift that is offered by mee, thou mayest haue profite, hee shall be free.	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)—	But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—
12	So ye suffer him no more to doe any thing for his father, or his mother,	then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother,	then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.
13	Making the worde of God of none authoritie, by your tradition which ye haue ordeined: and ye doe many such like things.	thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”	Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”
14	Then he called the whole multitude vnto him, and sayd vnto them, Hearken you all vnto me, and vnderstand.	And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand:	Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
15	There is nothing without a man, that can defile him, when it entreth into him: but the things which proceede out of him, are they which defile the man.	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.”	Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”
16	If any haue eares to heare, let him heare.
17	And when hee came into an house, away from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.	And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.	After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.
18	And he sayde vnto them, What? Are ye without vnderstanding also? Doe ye not knowe that whatsoeuer thing from without entreth into a man, cannot defile him,	And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,	“Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?
19	Because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught which is the purging of all meates?	since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)	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 clean.)
20	Then he sayd, That which commeth out of man, that defileth man.	And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.	He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.
21	For from within, euen out of the heart of men, proceede euill thoughtes, adulteries, fornications, murthers,	For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,	For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,
22	Theftes, couetousnes, wickednes, deceite, vncleannes, a wicked eye, backbiting, pride, foolishnesse.	coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.	adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
23	All these euill things come from within, and defile a man.	All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”	All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
24	And from thence he rose, and went into the borders of Tyrus and Sidon, and entred into an house, and woulde that no man should haue knowen: but he could not be hid.	And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden.	Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret.
25	For a certaine woman, whose litle daughter had an vncleane spirit, heard of him, and came, and fell at his feete,	But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet.	In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet.
26	(And the woman was a Greeke, a Syrophenissian by nation) and she besought him that he would cast out the deuill out of her daughter.	Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.	The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27	But Iesus saide vnto her, Let the children first be fedde: for it is not good to take the childrens bread, and to cast it vnto whelpes.	And he said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”	“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	Then shee answered, and saide vnto him, Trueth, Lord: yet in deede the whelpes eate vnder the table of the childrens crommes.	But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”	“Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
29	Then he said vnto her, For this saying goe thy way: the deuil is gone out of thy daughter.	And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.”	Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”
30	And when shee was come home to her house, shee founde the deuill departed, and her daughter lying on the bed.	And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.	She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
31	And hee departed againe from the coastes of Tyrus and Sidon, and came vnto the sea of Galile, through the middes of the coastes of Decapolis.	Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis.	Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
32	And they brought vnto him one that was deafe and stambered in his speache, and prayed him to put his hand vpon him.	And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.	There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33	Then hee tooke him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers in his eares, and did spit, and touched his tongue.	And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue.	After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue.
34	And looking vp to heauen, hee sighed, and said vnto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.	And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”	He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).
35	And straightway his eares were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and hee spake plaine.	And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.	At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
36	And he commanded them, that they should tell no man: but howe much soeuer hee forbad them, the more a great deale they published it,	And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.	Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.
37	And were beyonde measure astonied, saying, Hee hath done all thinges well: he maketh both the deafe to heare, & the domme to speake.	And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”	People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
