1And the Farisees and summe of the scribis camen fro Jerusalem togidir to hym.

2And whanne thei hadden seen summe of hise disciplis ete breed with vnwaisschen hoondis, thei blameden.

3The Farisees and alle the Jewis eten not, but thei waisschen ofte her hoondis, holdynge the tradiciouns of eldere men.

4And whanne thei turnen ayen fro chepyng, thei eten not, but thei ben waisschen; and many other thingis ben, `that ben taken `to hem to kepe, wasschyngis of cuppis, and of watir vessels, and of vessels of bras, and of beddis.

5And Farisees and scribis axiden hym, and seiden, Whi gon not thi disciplis aftir the tradicioun of eldere men, but with vnwasschen hondis thei eten breed?

6And he answeride, and seide to hem, Ysaie prophesiede wel of you, ypocritis, as it is writun, This puple worschipith me with lippis, but her herte is fer fro me;

7and in veyn thei worschipen me, techinge the doctrines and the heestis of men.

8For ye leeuen the maundement of God, and holden the tradiciouns of men, wasschyngis of watir vessels, and of cuppis; and many othir thingis lijk to these ye doon.

9And he seide to hem, Wel ye han maad the maundement of God voide, `to kepe youre tradicioun.

10For Moyses seide, Worschipe thi fadir and thi modir; and he that cursith fadir or modir, die he by deeth.

11But ye seien, If a man seie to fadir or modir, Corban, that is, What euer yifte is of me, it schal profite to thee;

12and ouer ye suffren not hym do ony thing to fadir or modir,

13and ye breken the word of God bi youre tradicioun, that ye han youun; and ye don many suche thingis.

14And he eftsoone clepide the puple, and seide to hem, Ye alle here me, and vndurstonde.

15No thing that is withouten a man, that entrith in to hym, may defoule him; but tho thingis that comen forth of a man, tho it ben that defoulen a man.

16If ony man haue eeris of hering, here he.

17And whanne he was entrid in to an hous, fro the puple, hise disciplis axiden hym the parable.

18And he seide to hem, Ye ben vnwise also. Vndurstonde ye not, that al thing without forth that entreth in to a man, may not defoule hym?

19for it hath not entrid in to his herte, but in to the wombe, and bynethe it goith out, purgynge alle metis.

20But he seide, The thingis that gon out of a man, tho defoulen a man.

21For fro with ynne, of the herte of men comen forth yuel thouytis, auowtries,

22fornycaciouns, mansleyingis, theftis, auaricis, wickidnessis, gile, vnchastite, yuel iye, blasfemyes, pride, foli.

23Alle these yuels comen forth fro with ynne, and defoulen a man.

24And Jhesus roos vp fro thennus, and wente in to the coostis of Tyre and of Sidon. And he yede in to an hous, and wolde that no man wiste; and he myyte not be hid.

25For a womman, anoon as sche herd of hym, whos douytir hadde an vnclene spirit, entride, and fel doun at hise feet.

26And the womman was hethen, of the generacioun of Sirofenyce. And sche preiede hym, that he wolde caste out a deuel fro hir douyter.

27And he seide to hir, Suffre thou, that the children be fulfillid first; for it is not good to take the breed of children, and yyue to houndis.

28And sche answeride, and seide to him, Yis, Lord; for litil whelpis eten vndur the bord, of the crummes of children.

29And Jhesus seide to hir, Go thou, for this word the feend wente out of thi douytir.

30And whanne sche was gon in to hir hous home, sche foonde the damysel ligynge on the bed, and the deuel gon out fro hir.

31And eftsoones Jhesus yede out fro the coostis of Tire, and cam thorou Sidon to the see of Galilee, bitwixe the myddil of the coostis of Decapoleos.

32And thei bryngen to hym a man deef and doumbe, and preieden hym to leye his hoond on hym.

33And he took hym asidis fro the puple, and puttide hise fyngris in to hise eris; and he spetide, and touchide his tonge.

34And he bihelde in to heuene, and sorewide with ynne, and seide, Effeta, that is, Be thou openyd.

35And anoon hise eris weren openyd, and the boond of his tunge was vnboundun, and he spak riytli.

36And he comaundide to hem, that thei schulden seie to no man; but hou myche he comaundide to hem, so myche more thei prechiden,

37and bi so myche more thei wondriden, and seiden, He dide wel alle thingis, and he made deef men to here, and doumbe men to speke.
