Matthew 15
1 Then they come to Jesus from Jerusalem—scribes and Pharisees—saying,
Then, there come unto Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying—
2 “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.”
Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not 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?
But, he, answering, said unto them—Wherefore do, ye also, transgress the commandment of God for the sake 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—Honour thy father and thy mother, and—He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die!
5 but you say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever you may be profited by me—
But, ye, say—Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother—A gift! Whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
6 and he may not honor his father or his mother, and you set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
in nowise, shall honour his father or his mother—and so ye have cancelled, the word of God, for the sake of your, tradition.
7 Hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying,
Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, 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;
This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;
9 and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings—commands of men.”
But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching, for teachings, the commandments of men.
10 And having called near the multitude, He said to them, “Hear and understand:
And, calling near the multitude, he 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.”
Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,
12 Then His disciples having come near, said to Him, “Have You known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?”
Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him—Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble?
13 And He answering said, “Every plant that My heavenly Father did not plant will be rooted up;
And, he, answering, said—Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, 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.”
Let them alone! they are, blind leaders; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.
15 And Peter answering said to Him, “Explain to us this allegory.”
And Peter, answering, said unto him, Declare to us the parable.
16 And Jesus said, “Are you also yet without understanding?
And, he, said, To this moment, are, ye also, without discernment?
17 Do you not understand that all that is going into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast forth into the drain?
Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;
18 But the things coming forth from the mouth come forth from the heart, and these defile the man;
while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.
19 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, slanders:
For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, —murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:
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 man, but, the eating with unwashed hands, doth not defile the man.
21 And Jesus having come forth from there, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
And, going forth from thence, Jesus retired into the parts of Tyre and Zidon.
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 lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably 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, answered her no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying—Dismiss her, because she is crying out after us.
24 and He answering said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
But, he, answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 And having come, she was worshiping Him, saying, “Lord, help me”;
And, she, coming, began bowing down to 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, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, to the little dogs.
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords’ table”;
And, she, said, True, Lord! [for], even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling from the table of, their masters.
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, answering, Jesus said to her—O woman! great, is, thy faith! Be it, done, for thee, as thou desirest. 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,
And, passing on from thence, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee, and, going up into the mountain, was sitting 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,
And there came unto him large multitudes, having with themselves the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, —and they cast them near his feet, and he cured 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 that the multitude marvelled, seeing the dumb speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, —and they glorified the God of Israel.
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.”
But, Jesus, calling near his disciples, said—My compassions are moved towards the multitude, because [even now], three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat, —and, to dismiss them fasting, I am not willing, lest by any means they faint in 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?”
And his disciples say unto him—Whence, to us, in a wilderness, loaves in such numbers as to fill a multitude, so great?
34 And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fishes.”
And Jesus saith unto them—How many, loaves have ye? And, they, said, —Seven, and a few small fishes.
35 And He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the ground,
And, sending word to the multitude to recline upon 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.
he took the seven loaves, and the fishes, and, giving thanks, brake, —and began giving to his disciples, and, the disciples, to the multitudes.
37 And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
And they all did eat and were filled, —and, the remainder of the broken pieces, took they up, seven hampers, full.
38 and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
And, they who did eat, 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.
And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the boat, —and came into the bounds of Magadan.
