1The Pharisees<5330> and some<5100> of the scribes<1122> gathered<4863> around<4314> Him when they had come<2064> from Jerusalem<2414>,
2and had seen<3708> that some<5100> of His disciples<3101> were eating<2068> their bread<740> with impure<2839> hands<5495>, that is, unwashed<449>.
3(For the Pharisees<5330> and all<3956> the Jews<2453> do not eat<2068> unless<1437><3361> they carefully<4435> wash<3538> their hands<5495>, thus observing<2902> the traditions<3862> of the elders<4245>;
4and when they come from the market<58> place<58>, they do not eat<2068> unless<1437><3361> they cleanse<4472> themselves; and there are many<4183> other<243> things<4183> which<3739> they have received<3880> in order to observe<2902>, such as the washing<909> of cups<4221> and pitchers<3582> and copper<5473> pots<5473>.)
5The Pharisees<5330> and the scribes<1122> *asked<1905> Him, "Why<1223><5101> do Your disciples<3101> not walk<4043> according<2596> to the tradition<3862> of the elders<4245>, but eat<2068> their bread<740> with impure<2839> hands<5495>?"
6And He said<3004> to them,

9He was also<2532> saying<3004> to them,
10
11
12
13
14After He called<4341> the crowd<3793> to Him again<3825>, He began saying<3004> to them,
15
16[
17When<3753> he had left<575> the crowd<3793> and entered<1525> the house<3624>, His disciples<3101> questioned<1905> Him about the parable<3850>.
18And He *said<3004> to them,
19
20And He was saying<3004>,

24Jesus got<450> up and went<565> away<565> from there<1564> to the region<3725> of Tyre<5184>. And when He had entered<1525> a house<3614>, He wanted<2309> no<3762> one<3762> to know<1097> of it; yet<2532> He could<1410> not escape<2990> notice<2990>.
25But after hearing<191> of Him, a woman<1135> whose<3739> little<2365> daughter<2365> had<2192> an unclean<169> spirit<4151> immediately<2117> came<2064> and fell<4363> at His feet<4228>.
26Now<1161> the woman<1135> was a Gentile<1674>, of the Syrophoenician<4949> race<1085>. And she kept asking<2065> Him to cast<1544> the demon<1140> out of her daughter<2364>.
27And He was saying<3004> to her,
28But she answered<611> and *said<3004> to Him, "Yes<3483>, Lord<2962>, but even<2532> the dogs<2952> under<5270> the table<5132> feed<2068> on the children's<3813> crumbs<5589>."
29And He said<3004> to her,
30And going<565> back<565> to her home<3624>, she found<2147> the child<3813> lying<906> on the bed<2825>, the demon<1140> having left<1831>.
31Again<3825> He went<1831> out from the region<3725> of Tyre<5184>, and came<2064> through<1223> Sidon<4605> to the Sea<2281> of Galilee<1056>, within<303><3319> the region<3725> of Decapolis<1179>.
32They *brought<5342> to Him one<2974> who<2974> was deaf<2974> and spoke<3424> with difficulty<3424>, and they *implored<3870> Him to lay<2007> His hand<5495> on him.
33Jesus took<618> him aside<618> from the crowd<3793>, by himself<2398>, and put<906> His fingers<1147> into his ears<3775>, and after spitting<4429>, He touched<681> his tongue<1100> with the saliva;
34and looking<308> up to heaven<3772> with a deep<4727> sigh<4727>, He *said<3004> to him,
35And his ears<189> were opened<455>, and the impediment<1199> of his tongue<1100> was removed<3089>, and he began speaking<2980> plainly<3723>.
36And He gave<1291> them orders<1291> not to tell<3004> anyone<3367>; but the more<3745> He ordered<1291> them, the more<3123> widely<4053> they continued to proclaim<2784> it.
37They were utterly<5249> astonished<1605>, saying<3004>, "He has done<4160> all<3956> things<3956> well<2573>; He makes<4160> even<2532> the deaf<2974> to hear<191> and the mute<216> to speak<2980>."
