< Matthew 15 >

1 Then, there come unto Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying—
ⲁ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛϭⲓϩⲉⲛⲥⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛϩⲉⲛⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
2 Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread!
ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ. ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲓⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ.
3 But, he, answering, said unto them—Wherefore do, ye also, transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲁ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ.
4 For, God, said—Honour thy father and thy mother, and—He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die!
ⲇ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲓⲉⲡⲉⲕⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲕⲙⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲉⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ.
5 But, ye, say—Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother—A gift! Whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲏ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲛⲁϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧ.
6 in nowise, shall honour his father or his mother—and so ye have cancelled, the word of God, for the sake of your, tradition.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲉϥⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲥⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ.
7 Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying—

8 This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;

9 But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching, for teachings, the commandments of men.

10 And, calling near the multitude, he said to them—Hear and understand!
ⲓ̅ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲓ.
11 Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲃⲏⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
12 Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him—Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble?
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲛⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉ.
13 And, he, answering, said—Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted:
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱϭⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲙⲡⲉⲡⲁⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧϩⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲧⲟϭϥ ϥⲛⲁⲡⲱⲣⲕ.
14 Let them alone! they are, blind leaders; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲉⲛϫⲁⲩⲙⲟⲉⲓⲧ ⲛⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲛⲉ. ⲟⲩⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁⲛϫⲓⲙⲟⲉⲓⲧ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲩϩⲓⲉⲓⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲛⲁⲩ.
15 And Peter, answering, said unto him, Declare to us the parable.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ.
16 And, he, said, To this moment, are, ye also, without discernment?
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲉⲛⲁⲑⲏⲧ.
17 Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ. ⲛϣⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲏ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲁⲩⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲛⲉⲣⲙⲏ.
18 while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲧⲁⲡⲣⲟ. ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡϩⲏⲧ. ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
19 For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, —murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲧⲃ. ϩⲉⲛⲙⲛⲧⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ. ϩⲉⲛⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓⲁ. ϩⲉⲛϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ. ϩⲉⲛⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲟⲩϫ. ⲛⲟⲩⲁ.
20 these, are the things which defile the man, but, the eating with unwashed hands, doth not defile the man.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲉⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲉⲓⲁⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ ⲛϥⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
21 And, going forth from thence, Jesus retired into the parts of Tyre and Zidon.

22 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.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲭⲁⲛⲁⲛⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲧⲟϣ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲥϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲧⲁϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ.
23 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.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲕⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲥϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ.
24 But, he, answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧ(ⲛ)ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲣⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲗ̅.
25 And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me.

26 But, he, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, to the little dogs.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲉϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲟⲣ.
27 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, thy faith! Be it, done, for thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed, from that hour.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲱ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲁϣⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲗⲟ ⲛϭⲓⲧⲉⲥϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
29 And, passing on from thence, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee, and, going up into the mountain, was sitting there.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲡⲱⲱⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ. ⲁϥⲁⲗⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲙⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
30 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 multitude marvelled, seeing the dumb speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, —and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 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 unto him—Whence, to us, in a wilderness, loaves in such numbers as to fill a multitude, so great?
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲓⲁϣⲏ ⲛⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲧⲱⲛ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲓϫⲁⲓⲉ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲓⲉⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϭⲟⲧ.
34 And Jesus saith unto them—How many, loaves have ye? And, they, said, —Seven, and a few small fishes.

35 And, sending word to the multitude to recline upon the ground,

36 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 did eat and were filled, —and, the remainder of the broken pieces, took they up, seven hampers, full.

39 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the boat, —and came into the bounds of Magadan.
