St. Mark. [Portions not found in Matthew or Luke.]

St. Mark. [Complete.]

4 And from the marketplace, except they wash themselves, they eat not: and many other things there be, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.

5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him...walk not...according to...but... their...with defiled...

6 ...[Gr. you, the (hypocrites)]...as it is written (Gr. that)... [Gr. you, the (hypocrites)].

8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men. 9 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject...that ye may keep... 10 ... Moses...thy...thy...

11...a man...Korban, that is to say...

12 Ye...longer suffer him to do aught...

13...which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

VII. 1-23.

4 And when they come from the marketplace, except they wash themselves, they eat not and many other things there be, which they have received to hold, 2 washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.3

5 And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?

And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,

This people honoureth me with their lips,

But their heart is far from me. 7 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

8 Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men

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

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him 5 die the death:

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God;

12 Ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;

13 Making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.

7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

8 This people honoureth me with their lips;

But their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

3 And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

4 For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him 1 die the death.

St. Luke.

[LUKE WANTING.]

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

19 Because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said, making all meats clean.

20 And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications,

22 Thefts, murders, adulteries, covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolish

ness:

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

24 And...he-arose-and...away...borders ...And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it: and he could not be hid.

VII. 24-30.

24 And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre 3 and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it: and he could not be hid.

St. Matthew. [Passages parallel to Mark.]

XV. 1-20.

10 And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

11 Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

12 Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?

13 But he answered and said, Every 2 plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

15 And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable. 16 And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?

17 Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.

St. Luke.

[Passages parallel to Mark.]

[LUKE WANTING.]

19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings :

20 These are the things which defile the man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.

xv. 21-28.

21 And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.

33 And he took him aside from the... privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;

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

35 And his ears were opened, and the bond 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.

Mark vii. 32, Matt. xv. 30, the same Greek word means either deaf or dumb.

28 But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord even 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 she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the 2 devil gone out.

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

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

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