Matthew 15
1 Then came to Jesus the scribes and pharisees from Jerusalem saying,
Then the Pharisees and scribes came to Yeshua from Urishlim, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat.
"Why do your disciples disobey the Tradition of the Elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
3 But He answered and said unto them, And why do ye transgress the commandment of God for your tradition?
And he answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For God commanded saying, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that revileth father or mother, let him be put to death:
For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
5 but ye say, If any man say to his father or mother, "that which thou mightest be profited by from me is a gift to the temple,"
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,"
6 and so honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. And thus have ye made void the commandment of God by your tradition.
he is not to honor his father or his mother.' You have made the word of God void because of your tradition.
7 Well did Esaias prophecy concerning you,
You hypocrites. Well did Eshaya prophesy of you, saying,
8 saying, This people approach me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me:
'These people honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 but in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the injunctions of men.
And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'"
10 And He called the multitude to Him, and said unto them, Hear and understand it:
He summoned the crowd, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.
11 not that which goeth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this polluteth the man.
That which enters into the mouth does not defile the person; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the person."
12 Whereupon his disciples came and said to Him, Dost thou know that the pharisees, when they heard this assertion, were offended at it?
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
13 But He answered and said, Every plantation which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up.
But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
14 Regard them not; for they are blind guides of the blind: and if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."
15 Then Peter answered, and said unto Him, Explain to us this parable.
And answering, Kipha said to him, "Explain this parable to us."
16 And Jesus replied, Are ye also still void of understanding?
So he said, "Do you also still not understand?
17 Do ye not yet know, that whatever goeth into the mouth passeth to the belly and is discharged downwards?
Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?
18 But the things, which proceed out of the mouth, come from the heart, and those defile a man.
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the person.
19 For out of the heart proceed wicked disputings, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false-witnessings, slanders:
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
20 these defile a man, but to eat without washing the hands doth not defile him.
These are the things which defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person."
21 And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the parts adjacent to Tyre and Sidon.
Yeshua went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tsur and Tsaidan.
22 And there came out of those quarters a Canaanitish woman, and cried to Him saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; for my daughter is grievously tormented by a demon.
And look, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and started shouting, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of Dawid. My daughter is severely demonized."
23 But he answered her not a word: and his disciples came and intreated Him, saying, Send her away, for she crieth importunately after us.
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."
24 But he answered and said, I am sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
But he answered, "I was not sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israyel."
25 However, she came and worshipped Him, saying, Lord help me.
But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
26 But he answered, It is not fit to take the children's bread and throw it to dogs: and she said, True, Lord;
But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
27 yet the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.
But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
28 Then Jesus answering, said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it therefore unto thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that very hour.
Then Yeshua answered her, "Woman, great is your faith. Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and going up to a mountain He sat down there.
Yeshua departed there, and came near to the lake of Galila; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
30 And great multitudes came to Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and laid them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them.
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.
31 So that the people wondered when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed become sound, the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.
So the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, crippled healthy, lame walking, and blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israyel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples to Him and said, I am moved with compassion to the multitude, for they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: I will not let them go away fasting, least they faint in the way.
Yeshua 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."
33 And his disciples replied, Whence can we have so much bread in this desert place as to satisfy so great a multitude?
Then the disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a crowd?"
34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? and they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
Yeshua said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
35 Then He bid the people sit down on the ground;
He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground;
36 and taking the seven loaves and the fishes, when He had given thanks, He brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
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.
37 And they did all eat, and were satisfied: and they took up what was left even of fragments seven baskets full.
They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38 Now they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 Then he dismissed the multitudes, and went into a ship, and came to the coasts of Magdala.
Then he sent away the crowds, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdu.
