[1]And the pharisees came together vnto hym, & certayne of the scribes which came from Hierusalem
[2]And whe they sawe some of his disciples eate bread with common [that is to say, with vnwasshen] hands, they founde fault
[3]For the pharisees and all the Iewes, except they wasshe their handes oft, eate not, obseruing the traditions of ye elders
[4]And [when they come] from the market, except they wasshe, they eate not. And many other things there be, which they haue taken vpon them to obserue [as] the wasshyng of cuppes and pottes, and brasen vessels, and of tables
[5]Then asked hym the pharisees and scribes: Why walke not thy disciples accordyng to the traditio of the elders, but eate bread with vnwasshen handes
[6]He aunswered, and sayde vnto them, that Esaias hath prophesied well of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoreth me with their lippes, but their heart is farre from me
[7]Howebeit, in vayne do they worship me, teachyng doctrines, the commaundementes of men
[8]For ye laye the commaundement of God apart, and obserue the tradition of me: as the wasshing of pottes & cuppes. And many other such like thinges ye do
[9]And he sayde vnto them: Well, ye cast asyde the commaundement of God, to mayntayne your owne tradition
[10]For Moyses sayde, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, who so curseth father or mother, let him dye the death
[11]But ye say, yf a man shall say to father or mother Corban (that is, by the gyft) that [is offred] of me, thou shalt be helped
[12]And so ye suffer hym no more to do ought for his father or his mother
[13]And make the worde of God of none effect, through your tradition, which ye haue ordeyned. And many such thinges do ye
[14]And when he had called all the people vnto hym, he saide vnto them: Hearken vnto me, euery one of you, and vnderstande
[15]There is nothyng without a man, that can defyle hym, when it entreth into hym: But the thynges whiche proceade out of a man, those are they that defyle the man
[16]If any man haue eares to heare, let hym heare
[17]And when he came into the house, away from the people, his disciples asked hym of the similitude
[18]And he sayde vnto them: Are ye also so without vnderstandyng? Do ye not yet perceaue, that whatsoeuer thing fro without, entreth into a man, it can not defyle hym
[19]Because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purgyng all meates
[20]And he sayde: That which commeth out of a man, defyleth the man
[21]For from within, euen out of the heart of men, proceade euyll thoughtes, adulterie, fornication, murther
[22]Theft, couetousnes, wickednes, deceit, wantonnes, a wicked eye, blasphemies, pride, foolyshnes
[23]All these euyll thynges come fro within, and defyle a man
[24]And from thence he rose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, & entred into an house, and woulde that no man shoulde haue knowen: but he coulde not be hyd
[25]For a certayne woman, whose young daughter hadde an vncleane spirite, assoone as she hearde of hym, came, & fell at his feete
[26]The woman was a Greke, out of the nation of Syrophenissa: & she besought hym, that he woulde cast out the deuyll from her daughter
[27]But Iesus saide vnto her, let the children first be fedde: For it is not meete to take the chyldrens bread, and to caste it vnto litle dogges
[28]She aunswered, and saide vnto hym, euen so Lorde: neuerthelesse, the litle dogges also eate vnder the table, of the chyldrens crumbes
[29]And he sayde vnto her: For this saying, go thy way, the deuyll is gone out of thy daughter
[30]And when she was come home to her house, she founde that the deuyll was departed, and her daughter lying on the bedde
[31]And he departed agayne from the coastes of Tyre and Sidon, & came vnto the sea of Galilee, through the middes of the coastes of the ten cities
[32]And they brought vnto hym one that was deafe, and had an impediment in his speache: and they prayed him to put his hande vpon hym
[33]And when he had taken hym asyde from the people, he put his fyngers into his cares, and dyd spyt, and touched his tongue
[34]And loked vp to heauen, and syghed, and sayde vnto him Ephphatha, that is to say, be opened
[35]And straightway his eares were opened, and the stryng of his tongue was loosed, and he spake playne
[36]And he commaunded them, that they shoulde tell no man: But the more he forbad them, so much the more a great deale they published it
[37]And were beyonde measure astonyed, saying: He hath done all thynges well, he hath made both the deafe to heare, and the dumbe to speake
