Matthew 15
1 Then the Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
Τότε προσέρχονται τῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων, Φαρισαῖοι καὶ γραμματεῖς λέγοντες,
2 "Why do your disciples disobey the Tradition of the Elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
“Διὰ τί οἱ μαθηταί σου παραβαίνουσιν τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων; Οὐ γὰρ νίπτονται τὰς χεῖρας ὅταν ἄρτον ἐσθίωσιν.”
3 And he answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Διὰ τί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν;
4 For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
Ὁ γὰρ ˚Θεὸς ἐνετείλατο λέγων, ‘Τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα’, καί, ‘Ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα, θανάτῳ τελευτάτω.’
5 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,"
Ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε, ‘Ὃς ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί, “Δῶρον ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς”,
6 he is not to honor his father or his mother.' You have made the word of God void because of your tradition.
οὐ μὴ τιμήσει τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ.’ Καὶ ἠκυρώσατε τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν.
7 You hypocrites. Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Ὑποκριταί! Καλῶς ἐπροφήτευσεν περὶ ὑμῶν Ἠσαΐας λέγων,
8 'These people honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
‘Ὁ λαὸς οὗτος τοῖς χείλεσίν με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.
9 And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'"
Μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.’”
10 He summoned the crowd, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.
Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν ὄχλον, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἀκούετε καὶ συνίετε!
11 That which enters into the mouth does not defile the person; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the person."
Οὐ τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος, τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.”
12 Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
Τότε προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Οἶδας ὅτι οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον ἐσκανδαλίσθησαν;”
13 But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, “Πᾶσα φυτεία ἣν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ Πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."
Ἄφετε αὐτούς· ὁδηγοί εἰσιν τυφλοί τυφλὸς, δὲ τυφλὸν ἐὰν ὁδηγῇ, ἀμφότεροι εἰς βόθυνον πεσοῦνται.”
15 And answering, Peter said to him, "Explain this parable to us."
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, “Φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολήν.”
16 So he said, "Do you also still not understand?
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ἀκμὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε;
17 Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?
Οὔπω νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα, εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν χωρεῖ, καὶ εἰς ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκβάλλεται;
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the person.
Τὰ δὲ ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος, ἐκ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχεται, κἀκεῖνα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
Ἐκ γὰρ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχονται διαλογισμοὶ πονηροί, φόνοι, μοιχεῖαι, πορνεῖαι, κλοπαί, ψευδομαρτυρίαι, βλασφημίαι.
20 These are the things which defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person."
Ταῦτά ἐστιν τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸ δὲ ἀνίπτοις χερσὶν φαγεῖν, οὐ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.”
21 Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐκεῖθεν, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὰ μέρη Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος.
22 And look, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and started shouting, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely demonized."
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, γυνὴ Χαναναία ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα, ἔκραζεν λέγουσα, “Ἐλέησόν με, ˚Κύριε, Υἱὸς Δαυίδ· ἡ θυγάτηρ μου κακῶς δαιμονίζεται.”
23 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."
Ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῇ λόγον. Καὶ προσελθόντες, οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἠρώτουν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν, ὅτι κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν.”
24 But he answered, "I was not sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, “Οὐκ ἀπεστάλην εἰ μὴ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.”
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
Ἡ δὲ ἐλθοῦσα προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγουσα, “˚Κύριε, βοήθει μοι!”
26 But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, “Οὐκ ἔστιν καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις.”
27 But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
Ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ναί, ˚Κύριε, καὶ γὰρ τὰ κυνάρια ἐσθίει ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν.”
28 Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith. Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ, “Ὦ γύναι, μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις· γενηθήτω σοι ὡς θέλεις.” Καὶ ἰάθη ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.
29 Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
Καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἀναβὰς εἰς τὸ ὄρος, ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ.
30 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.
Καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοὶ, ἔχοντες μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν χωλούς, κυλλούς, τυφλούς, κωφούς, καὶ ἑτέρους πολλούς, καὶ ἔρριψαν αὐτοὺς παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς·
31 So the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, crippled healthy, lame walking, and blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.
ὥστε τοὺς ὄχλους θαυμάσαι, βλέποντας κωφοὺς λαλοῦντας, κυλλοὺς ὑγιεῖς, καὶ χωλοὺς περιπατοῦντας, καὶ τυφλοὺς βλέποντας· καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν ˚Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ.
32 Jesus 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."
Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπεν, “Σπλαγχνίζομαι ἐπὶ τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ἤδη ἡμέραι τρεῖς προσμένουσίν μοι, καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν τί φάγωσιν· καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτοὺς νήστεις οὐ θέλω, μήποτε ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.”
33 Then the disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a crowd?"
Καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί, “Πόθεν ἡμῖν ἐν ἐρημίᾳ, ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον;”
34 Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε;” Οἱ δὲ εἶπον, “Ἑπτά, καὶ ὀλίγα ἰχθύδια.”
35 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground;
Καὶ παραγγείλας τῷ ὄχλῳ ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν,
36 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.
ἔλαβεν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας, καὶ εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις.
37 They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
Καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων, ἑπτὰ σπυρίδας πλήρεις.
38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες, χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
39 Then he sent away the crowds, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.
Καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους, ἐνέβη εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια Μαγαδάν.
