Matthew 15
1 Then, there come unto Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying—
Then the scribes and Pharisees, who are from Jerusalem, come to Jesus, saying,
2 Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread!
Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3 But, he, answering, said unto them—Wherefore do, ye also, transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
And responding He said to them; Wherefore do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For, God, said—Honour thy father and thy mother, and—He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die!
For God commanded saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die with death.
5 But, ye, say—Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother—A gift! Whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
But you say, Whosoever may say to father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever you may be profited by me; and he shall no longer honor his father or his mother.
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.
You made void the commandment of God by your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying—
Ye hypocrites, beautifully did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, saying,
8 This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;
This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching, for teachings, the commandments of men.
But in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And, calling near the multitude, he said to them—Hear and understand!
And calling the multitude to Him, He said to them, Hear and understand:
11 Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,
That if which cometh into the mouth does not defile the man; but that which cometh out from the mouth, that defiles the man.
12 Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him—Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble?
Then His disciples having come to Him say, Do you not know that the Pharisees hearing your word, were offended?
13 And, he, answering, said—Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted:
And He responding said, Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone! they are, blind leaders; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.
Let them alone: the blind are leaders of the blind: if the blind may lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
15 And Peter, answering, said unto him, Declare to us the parable.
Peter responding said to Him, Explain unto us the parable.
16 And, he, said, To this moment, are, ye also, without discernment?
And Jesus said, Are you indeed still without understanding?
17 Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;
Do you know that everything entering into the mouth goes into the stomach, and is cast out into excrement?
18 while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.
But those things going out from the mouth come forth from the heart; and these pollute the man.
19 For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, —murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:
For out of the heart proceed evil reasonings, murders, fornications, adulteries, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
20 these, are the things which defile the man, but, the eating with unwashed hands, doth not defile the man.
These are the things which defile the man: but to eat bread with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
21 And, going forth from thence, Jesus retired into the parts of Tyre and Zidon.
And Jesus having come out thence, departed into the regions of Tyre and Sidon.
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.
And behold, a Canaanitish woman having come out from those coasts, cried unto Him saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is terribly demonized.
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.
And He responded to her not a word; and His disciples, having come to Him, asked Him, saying, Send her away; because she cries after us.
24 But, he, answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
And He responding said, I am not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me.
And having come she continued to worship Him, saying, Lord, assist me.
26 But, he, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, to the little dogs.
He responding said, It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs.
27 And, she, said, True, Lord! [for], even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling from the table of, their masters.
And she said, Yea, Lord: for the little dogs eat of the crumbs falling from their master's table.
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.
Then Jesus responding said to her, O woman, great is thy faith; let it be done unto thee as thou dost wish. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 And, passing on from thence, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee, and, going up into the mountain, was sitting there.
And Jesus having departed thence, came to the Sea of Galilee; and having gone up into the mountain, He was sitting there.
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;
And many multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the maimed, and many others, and laid them down at the feet of Jesus; and He healed 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.
so that the multitudes were astonished, seeing the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking about, 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.
And Jesus calling His disciples to Him, said, I sympathize with the multitude, because already three days abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat; I do not wish to send them away fasting, lest they may faint on the road.
33 And his disciples say unto him—Whence, to us, in a wilderness, loaves in such numbers as to fill a multitude, so great?
And His disciples say to Him, Whence is there to us so much bread in the wilderness, as to feed so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them—How many, loaves have ye? And, they, said, —Seven, and a few small fishes.
And Jesus says to them; How much bread have ye? And they said, Seven loaves and a few fishes.
35 And, sending word to the multitude to recline upon the ground,
He having commanded the multitudes to sit down 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.
He took the seven loaves and the fishes; having given thanks, He broke them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they all did eat and were filled, —and, the remainder of the broken pieces, took they up, seven hampers, full.
And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up the residue of fragments, seven baskets full.
38 And, they who did eat, were four thousand men, besides women and children.
And those eating were about tour thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the boat, —and came into the bounds of Magadan.
And having sent away the multitudes, He went into a ship and came into the coasts of Magdala.
