1 Now|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" and|strong="G2532" some|strong="G5100" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" scribes|strong="G1122" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" from|strong="G2064" Jerusalem|strong="G2414" were|strong="G3588" gathered|strong="G4863" around|strong="G4314" Jesus|strong="G2532".
2 When|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G3708" some|strong="G5100" of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G3708" disciples|strong="G3101" eating|strong="G2068" bread with|strong="G2532" hands|strong="G5495" that|strong="G3754" were|strong="G1510" defiled|strong="G2839" (that|strong="G3754" is|strong="G1510", unwashed), they|strong="G2532" criticized them|strong="G3588".
3 (For|strong="G1063" none|strong="G3756" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" or|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453" eat|strong="G2068" unless|strong="G1437" they|strong="G2532" wash|strong="G3538" their|strong="G2532" hands|strong="G5495" properly, holding|strong="G2902" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" tradition|strong="G3862" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" elders|strong="G4245".
4 And|strong="G2532" when|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" come|strong="G1510" from|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" marketplace they|strong="G2532" do|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" eat|strong="G2068" unless|strong="G1437" they|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" washed.

5 Now|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" scribes|strong="G1122" asked|strong="G1905" Jesus|strong="G2532", “Why|strong="G5101" do|strong="G5101" yoʋr disciples|strong="G3101" not|strong="G3756" walk|strong="G4043" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" tradition|strong="G3862" of|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" elders|strong="G4245", but|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G2068" bread with|strong="G1223" unwashed hands|strong="G5495"?”

31 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G1831" came|strong="G2064" back|strong="G3825" from|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" region|strong="G3725" of|strong="G1537" Tyre|strong="G5184" and|strong="G2532" Sidon|strong="G4605" and|strong="G2532" went|strong="G1831" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" Sea|strong="G2281" of|strong="G1537" Galilee|strong="G1056", within|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" region|strong="G3725" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" Decapolis|strong="G1179".
32 Some|strong="G3588" people|strong="G3870" brought|strong="G5342" to|strong="G2443" him|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2532" deaf|strong="G2974" man|strong="G2974" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" speech|strong="G3424" impediment, and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" begged|strong="G3870" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2443" lay|strong="G2007" his|strong="G2007" hand|strong="G5495" on|strong="G5495" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G2974".
33 So|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2532" took|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" aside|strong="G2596" privately|strong="G2398", away from|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793". Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1519" fingers|strong="G1147" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G1519"'s ears|strong="G3775", spit|strong="G4429", and|strong="G2532" touched the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G1519"'s tongue|strong="G1100".
34 And|strong="G2532" looking|strong="G2532" up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" heaven|strong="G3772", he|strong="G2532" sighed|strong="G4727" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588", “\+w Ephphatha|strong="G2188"\+w*” (that|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510", “\+w Be|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w opened|strong="G1272"\+w*”).
35 Immediately|strong="G2112" the|strong="G2532" man's ears were|strong="G3588" opened, the|strong="G2532" impediment|strong="G1199" of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" tongue|strong="G1100" was|strong="G3588" removed|strong="G3089", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" began speaking|strong="G2980" clearly.
36 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004" ordered|strong="G1291" them|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3367" to|strong="G2443" tell|strong="G3004" anyone|strong="G3367". But|strong="G1161" as|strong="G3745" much|strong="G3745" as|strong="G3745" he|strong="G2532" ordered|strong="G1291" them|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3367" to|strong="G2443" do|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2443", they|strong="G2532" proclaimed|strong="G2784" it|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3745" the|strong="G2532" more|strong="G3123".
37 And|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" completely|strong="G5249" astonished|strong="G1605", saying|strong="G3004", “He|strong="G2532" has|strong="G2532" done|strong="G4160" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956" well|strong="G2573". He|strong="G2532" even|strong="G2532" makes|strong="G4160" the|strong="G2532" deaf|strong="G2974" hear and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" mute|strong="G2974" speak|strong="G2980".”
