Matthew 15
1 Then they come to Jesus from Jerusalem—scribes and Pharisees—saying,
Then the Pharisees and scribes came to Yeshua from Urishlim, saying,
2 “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.”
"Why do your disciples disobey the Tradition of the Elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
3 And He answering said to them, “Why also do you transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
And he answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;
For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
5 but you say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever you may be profited by me—
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,"
6 and he may not honor his father or his mother, and you set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
he is not to honor his father or his mother.' You have made the word of God void because of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying,
You hypocrites. Well did Eshaya prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it honors Me, but their heart is far off from Me;
'These people honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings—commands of men.”
And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'"
10 And having called near the multitude, He said to them, “Hear and understand:
He summoned the crowd, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.
11 [it is] not that which is coming into the mouth [that] defiles the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defiles the man.”
That which enters into the mouth does not defile the person; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the person."
12 Then His disciples having come near, said to Him, “Have You known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?”
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
13 And He answering said, “Every plant that My heavenly Father did not plant will be rooted up;
But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
14 leave them alone, they are guides—blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."
15 And Peter answering said to Him, “Explain to us this allegory.”
And answering, Kipha said to him, "Explain this parable to us."
16 And Jesus said, “Are you also yet without understanding?
So he said, "Do you also still not understand?
17 Do you not understand that all that is going into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast forth into the drain?
Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?
18 But the things coming forth from the mouth come forth from the heart, and these defile the man;
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the person.
19 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, slanders:
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
20 these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
These are the things which defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person."
21 And Jesus having come forth from there, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
Yeshua went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tsur and Tsaidan.
22 and behold, a woman, a Canaanite, having come forth from those borders, called to Him, saying, “Deal kindly with me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.”
And look, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and started shouting, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of Dawid. My daughter is severely demonized."
23 And He did not answer her a word; and His disciples having come to Him, were asking Him, saying, “Let her away, because she cries after us”;
But he did not answer her a word. His disciples came and pleaded with him, saying, "Send her away, for she keeps shouting at us."
24 and He answering said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
But he answered, "I was not sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israyel."
25 And having come, she was worshiping Him, saying, “Lord, help me”;
But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
26 and He answering said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast to the little dogs.”
But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords’ table”;
But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
28 then answering, Jesus said to her, “O woman, great [is] your faith, let it be to you as you will”; and her daughter was healed from that hour.
Then Yeshua answered her, "Woman, great is your faith. Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 And having departed from there, Jesus came near to the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, He was sitting there,
Yeshua departed there, and came near to the lake of Galila; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
30 and there came to Him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them,
Large crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet; and he healed them.
31 so that the multitudes wondered, seeing mute ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
So the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, crippled healthy, lame walking, and blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israyel.
32 And Jesus having called near His disciples, said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they do not have what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.”
Yeshua summoned the disciples and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."
33 And His disciples say to Him, “From where to us in a wilderness [will we get] so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?”
Then the disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a crowd?"
34 And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fishes.”
Yeshua said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
35 And He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the ground,
He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground;
36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, He broke, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples [gave] to the multitude.
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 crowds.
37 And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38 and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And having let away the multitudes, He went into the boat, and came to the borders of Magdala.
Then he sent away the crowds, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdu.
