Matthew 15
1 Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying:
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:
But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
4 Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.
For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee.
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 not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition.
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.
7 Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:
Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
8 This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.
This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
9 And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.
but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
10 And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.
And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?
Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
13 But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
15 And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
16 But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
17 Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?
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?
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.
but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
19 For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
20 These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
21 And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;
22 And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil.
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.
23 Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:
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 And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.
But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
25 But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.
But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.
26 Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.
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 the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.
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, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.
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 when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee. And going up into a mountain, he sat there.
And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;
30 And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them:
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 multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
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 the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?
And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?
34 And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.
And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.
And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;
36 And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the people.
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.
37 And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.
And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;
38 And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.
but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.
And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.
