< Matthew 15 >

1 Then came to Iesus scribes and pharises from Ierusalem sayinge:
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 why do thy disciples transgresse the tradicios of ye elders? for they wesshe not their hondes when they eate breed.
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 He answered and sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse ye comaundment of God thorowe youre tradicions?
But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God comaunded sayinge: honoure thy father and mother and he that cursseth father or mother shall suffer deeth.
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye saye every ma shall saye to his father or mother: That which thou desyrest of me to helpe ye with: is geven God:
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 and so shall he not honoure his father or his mother. And thus haue ye made yt the comaundment of God is with out effecte through youre tradicios.
And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ypocrites well prophesyed of you Esay sayinge:
[Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouthes and honoureth me with their lippes howbe it their hertes are farre from me:
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 but in vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctrines whiche are nothing but mens precepts.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the people vnto him and sayde to them: heare and vnderstande.
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 That which goeth into the mouth defyleth not ye man: but that which commeth out of the mouth defyleth the man.
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples and sayde vnto him. Perceavest thou not how that the pharises are offended in hearinge thys sayinge?
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 He answered and sayde: all plantes which my hevely father hath not planted shalbe plucked vp by the rotes.
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leede the blynde boothe shall fall into the dyche.
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Then answered Peter and sayd to him: declare vnto vs this parable.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 Then sayde Iesus: are ye yet with oute vnderstondinge?
And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 perceave ye not that what soever goeth in at the mouth descendeth doune in to the bely and is cast out into the draught?
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those thingis which procede out of the mouth come from the herte and they defyle 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 herte come evyll thoughtis murder breakyng of wedlocke whordo theefte falce witnes berynge blasphemye.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the thingis which defyle a man. But to eate with vnwesshen hondes defyleth not a man.
These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 And Iesus went thence and departed in to the costis of Tyre and Sidon.
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And beholde a woman which was a Cananite came out of ye same coostis and cryed vnto him sayinge: have mercy on me Lorde the sonne of David my doughter is pytiously vexed with a devyll.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 And he gave her never a worde to answer. Then came to him his disciples and besought him sayinge: sende her awaye for she foloweth vs cryinge.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 He answered and sayde: I am not sent but vnto ye loost shepe of ye housse of Israel.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then she came and worshipped him sayinge: master helpe me.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 He answered and sayde: it is not good to take the chyldrens breed and to cast it to whelpes.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.
27 She answered and sayde: truthe Lorde: neverthelesse the whelpes eate of the cromes which fall from their masters table.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Iesus answered and sayde vnto her. O woman greate is thy faith be it to the even as thou desyrest. And her doughter was made whole even at that same houre.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 Then Iesus went awaye from thence and came nye vnto the see of Galile and went vp in to a mountayne and sat doune 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 moche people came vnto him havinge with the halt blynde domme maymed and other many: and cast them doune at Iesus fete. And he healed them
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
31 in so moche that the people wondred to se the dome speake the maymed whole the halt to go and ye blynde to se. And they glorified the God of Israel.
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Iesus called his disciples to him and sayde: I have compassion on ye people becau se they have cotynued with me now. iii. dayes and have nought to eate: and I wyll not let them departe fastinge leste they perisshe in ye waye.
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 sayd vnto him: whece shuld we get so moche breed in ye wildernes as shuld suffise so greate a multitude?
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 Iesus sayde vnto them: how many loves have ye? And they sayde: seven and a feawe litle fysshes.
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And he comaunded ye people to syt doune on ye grounde:
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 and toke the seven loves and the fysshes and gave thankes and brake them and gave to his disciples and the disciples gave them to the people.
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 dyd all eate and were suffised. And they toke vp of the broke meate that was lefte. vii. basketes full.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.
38 And yet they that ate were. iiii. M. men besyde wemen and chyldren.
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 And he sent awaye the people and toke shippe and came into the parties of Magdala.
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
