Coptic New Testament
1Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus,
1ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲟⲩϯ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
2and they saw some of His disciples eating with hands that were defiled—that is, unwashed.
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲱⲓⲕ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⲑⲱⲗⲉⲃ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ.
3Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.
3ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲁⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲓⲁ ⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ.
4And on returning from the market, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions for them to observe, including the washing of cups, pitchers, kettles, and couches for dining.
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲩ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲟⲙⲥⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲁⲅⲟⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲉⲁⲩϭⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲫⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲝⲉⲥⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲭⲁⲗⲕⲓⲟⲛ.
5So the Pharisees and scribes questioned Jesus: “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands.”
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϫⲓϫ ⲉⲩⲑⲱⲗⲉⲃ ⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲓⲕ.
6Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.

7They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’

8You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.”

9He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

11But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

13Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

14Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand:

17After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable.

24Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.

25Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

26Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

29Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

30And she went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon was gone.

31Then Jesus left the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.

32Some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and hardly able to speak, and they begged Jesus to place His hand on him.

33So Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, and put His fingers into the man’s ears. Then He spit and touched the man’s tongue.

34And looking up to heaven, He sighed deeply and said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”).

35Immediately the man’s ears were opened and his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly.

36Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more widely they proclaimed it.
