< Matthew 15 >

1 Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
ⲁ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲁϧ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
2 Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲉⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲓⲱⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⲱⲓⲕ.
3 But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
ⲅ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲣⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛϯⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ.
4 For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
ⲇ̅ⲫϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲉ ⲡⲉⲕⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲟⲩ.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:

6 and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲉⲣϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ.
7 Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

8 This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;

9 but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲗⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
10 And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲕⲁϯ.
11 Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱϥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
12 Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲕ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉⲥⲑⲉ.
13 But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϣϣⲏⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ϭⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲕⲟⲣϫⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲛⲓ.
14 Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲭⲁⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉⲩ ⲛⲉ ϭⲁⲩⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲙⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉ ⳿ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϥϭⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ϧⲁϫⲱϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉ ϣⲁⲩϩⲉⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩϣⲓⲕ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲃ̅.
15 And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.

16 But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲁⲧⲕⲁϯ.
17 Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲭⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϣⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲉϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲁ⳿ⲛϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ.
18 but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲣⲱϥ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅⳿ⲉϣⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓϧⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲛⲓⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲓϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲓⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ ⲛⲓϫⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲁ.
20 these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲉⲛ ⲓⲁ ⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ.
21 And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲥⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲧⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧⲤⲓⲇⲱⲛ.
22 and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ 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.
23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

24 But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.

25 But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

26 But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.

27 But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

28 Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

29 And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩ⳿ⲱⲧⲉⲃ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲄⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ.
30 and great crowds came to him, having with them lame, blind, dumb, crippled, and many others, and they cast them at his feet, and he healed them:

31 so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.

33 And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲁⲛⲛⲁϫⲉⲙ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲏⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲓ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϣⲁϥⲉ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓⲙⲏϣ.

36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
