ⳘⲀⲦⲐⲈⲞⲚ 15
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem approached Jesus saying:
2 ⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲉⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲓⲱⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⲱⲓⲕ.
“Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands whenever they eat bread.”
3 ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ.
So in answer He said to them: “Why do you even transgress the commandment of God through your tradition?
4 ⲇ̅ ⲫϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ.
For God commanded saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
5 ⲉ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲓⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲭⲛⲁϫⲉⲙϩⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲩ.
But you say: ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever you might be profited by me is a gift to God”—
then he must not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have nullified the commandment of God through your tradition.
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you saying:
‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me.
But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
Then summoning the crowd He said to them: “Hear and understand.
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
Not what goes into the mouth defiles the man, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles the man.”

Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do you know that upon hearing this saying the Pharisees were offended?”
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϣϣⲏⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϭⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲟⲣϫⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ.
But in answer He said: “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind; and if the blind guides the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
So Jesus said: “Are you also still without understanding?
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϣⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ.
Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is expelled into the sewer?
But the things coming out of the mouth actually come from the heart; those are the things that defile the man.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲛⲓⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲓϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲓϫⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲁ.
Because out of the heart proceed malignant thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
These are the things that defile the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
Going out from there Jesus withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲁ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϭⲓ⳿ⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲥⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲓ Ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲆⲁⲩⲓⲇ ⲧⲁϣⲉⲣⲓ ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲙⲕⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲥ.
And then, a Canaanite woman coming from those parts cried out to Him saying: “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demonized.”
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲛⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲭⲁ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲥⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲥⲁⲙⲉⲛϩⲏⲛ.
But He answered her not a word. So His disciples came and urged Him saying, “Send her away, because she is crying out after us.”
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ ϩⲁ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲣⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲠⲓ̅ⲥ̅ⲗ̅.
But in answer He said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
So she came and worshiped Him saying, “Lord, help me!”
But in answer He said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉ Ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲕⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲟⲩϩⲱⲣ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲗⲉϥⲗⲓϥⲓ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓ ϯ⳿ⲧⲣⲁⲡⲉⲍⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲓⲥⲉⲩ.
So she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.”
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲱ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲁϣϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϣⲉⲣⲓ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
Then Jesus answered and said to her: “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲄⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ.
Moving on from there, Jesus went alongside the Sea of Galilee, and going up on the mountain He sat down there.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛϭⲁⲗⲉⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛϫⲁϭ ⲉⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲁ ⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲫⲁϧⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
And large crowds approached Him, having with them lame, blind, mute, maimed and many others, and they placed them at Jesus' feet, and He healed them.
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲃⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓϭⲁⲗⲉⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉⲩ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲙⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲕⲟⲩⲣ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩϯ⳿ⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲪϯ ⳿ⲙⲠⲓ̅ⲥ̅ⲗ̅.
So the crowds marveled—seeing mutes speaking, maimed made whole, lame walking, and blind seeing—and they kept glorifying the God of Israel.
32 ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϯϣⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲏϣ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲭⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ.
Then Jesus summoned His disciples and said: “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already remained with me three days, and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
So His disciples say to Him, “Where could we get, in an uninhabited place, enough bread so as to satisfy such a great crowd?”
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲍ̅ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲃⲧ.
Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
So He commanded the crowds to recline on the ground.
36 ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲧⲉⲃⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲫⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ.
And taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks, broke and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
So they all ate and were filled; and they took up seven hampers full of the fragments that remained.
Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
And having dismissed the crowds He got into the boat and went to the region of Magdala.
