Matthew 15
1 Then, there come unto Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying—
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread!
Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not 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?
But he answered and said unto them, Why do all of you also transgress the commandment of God by 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, Honour your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the 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 all of you say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever you might be profited by me;
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.
And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have all of you made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying—
All of you hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;
This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth, and honors 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 do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And, calling near the multitude, he said to them—Hear and understand!
And he called the multitude, and said unto 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,
Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
12 Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him—Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble?
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Know you that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? (logos)
13 And, he, answering, said—Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted:
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, 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: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 And Peter, answering, said unto him, Declare to us the parable.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 And, he, said, To this moment, are, ye also, without discernment?
And Jesus said, Are all of you also yet 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 not all of you yet understand, that whatsoever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile 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 thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, 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 a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man.
21 And, going forth from thence, Jesus retired into the parts of Tyre and Zidon.
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts 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 woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, you son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
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.
But he answered her not a word. (logos) And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she cries after us.
24 But, he, answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me.
Then came she and worshipped 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.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to 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, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' 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 answered and said unto her, O woman, great is your faith: be it unto you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very 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 departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down 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 great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, physically disabled, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; 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.
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the physically disabled to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: 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.
Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest 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?
And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill 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 unto them, How many loaves have all of you? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And, sending word to the multitude to recline upon the ground,
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on 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.
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake 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 did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets full.
38 And, they who did eat, were four thousand men, besides women and children.
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the boat, —and came into the bounds of Magadan.
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
