Then Pharisees [Separated] and Torah-Teachers came to Yeshua [Salvation] from Jerusalem [City of peace], saying,
2 ⲃ̅ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲉⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲓⲱⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⲱⲓⲕ.
“Why do your disciples disobey ·to be contrary, to violate and overstep command, to pass over without touching anything· the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ.
He answered them, “Why do you also disobey ·to be contrary, to violate and overstep command, to pass over without touching anything· the commandment of God because of 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 enjoins these words, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses his father or mother must 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 may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
then he is rid of his duty to honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] prophesy of you, saying,
‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.

That which enters into the mouth does not defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

Then the disciples came, and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees [Separated] were scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·, when they heard this saying?”
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϣϣⲏⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϭⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲟⲣϫⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ.
But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Peter [Rock] answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
So Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Do you also still not understand?
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϣⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ.
Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲛⲓⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲓϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲓϫⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲁ.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, moicheiai ·adulteries·, porhneia ·sexual immorality·, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with ritually unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
Yeshua [Salvation] went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

Behold, a Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David [Beloved]! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”

But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”

But he answered, “I was not sent to just anyone but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel [God prevails].”
But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

Then Yeshua [Salvation] answered her, “Woman, great is your trusting faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Yeshua [Salvation] departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee [District, Circuit]; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing— and they glorified the God of Israel [God prevails].

Yeshua [Salvation] summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
The disciples said to him, “Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”

Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
