Matthew 15
1 Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
Then the scribes and Pharisees, who are from Jerusalem, come to Jesus, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
And responding He said to them; Wherefore do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
For God commanded saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die with death.
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:
But you say, Whosoever may say to father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me; and he shall no longer honor his father or his mother.
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.
You made void the commandment of God by your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
Ye hypocrites, beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, saying,
8 This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
And calling the multitude to Him, He said to them, Hear and understand:
11 Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
That if which cometh into the mouth does not defile the man; but that which cometh out from the mouth, that defiles the man.
12 Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
Then His disciples having come to Him say, Do you not know that the Pharisees hearing your word, were offended?
13 But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
And He responding said, Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant, shall be rooted up.
14 Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
Let them alone: the blind are leaders of the blind: if the blind may lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
15 And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
Peter responding said to Him, Explain unto us the parable.
16 But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
And Jesus said, Are you indeed still without understanding?
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?
Do you know that everything entering into the mouth goes into the stomach, and is cast out into excrement?
18 but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
But those things going out from the mouth come forth from the heart; and these pollute the man.
19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
For out of the heart proceed evil reasonings, murders, fornications, adulteries, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
20 these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
These are the things which defile the man: but to eat bread with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
21 And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;
And Jesus having come out thence, departed into the regions of Tyre and Sidon.
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.
And behold, a Canaanitish woman having come out from those coasts, cried unto Him saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is terribly demonized.
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.
And He responded to her not a word; and His disciples, having come to Him, asked Him, saying, Send her away; because she cries after us.
24 But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
And He responding said, I am not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.
And having come she continued to worship Him, saying, Lord, assist me.
26 But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
He responding said, It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs.
27 But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
And she said, Yea, Lord: for the little dogs eat of the crumbs falling from their master's table.
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.
Then Jesus responding said to her, O woman, great is thy faith; let it be done unto thee as thou dost wish. 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;
And Jesus having departed thence, came to the Sea of Galilee; and having gone up into the mountain, He was sitting there.
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:
And many multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the maimed, and many others, and laid them down at the feet of Jesus; 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.
so that the multitudes were astonished, seeing the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking about, and the 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.
And Jesus calling His disciples to Him, said, I sympathize with the multitude, because already three days abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat; I do not wish to send them away fasting, lest they may faint on the road.
33 And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?
And His disciples say to Him, Whence is there to us so much bread in the wilderness, as to feed so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
And Jesus says to them; How much bread have ye? And they said, Seven loaves and a few fishes.
35 And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;
He having commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,
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.
He took the seven loaves and the fishes; having given thanks, He broke them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;
And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up the residue of fragments, seven baskets full.
38 but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
And those eating were about tour thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.
And having sent away the multitudes, He went into a ship and came into the coasts of Magdala.
