Κατα Ματθαιον 15
1 τοτε προσερχονται τω ιησου οι απο ιεροσολυμων γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι λεγοντες
Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem. They said,
2 δια τι οι μαθηται σου παραβαινουσιν την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων ου γαρ νιπτονται τας χειρας αυτων οταν αρτον εσθιωσιν
“Why do your disciples violate the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.”
3 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις δια τι και υμεις παραβαινετε την εντολην του θεου δια την παραδοσιν υμων
He answered and said to them, “Then why do you violate the commandment of God for the sake of your traditions?
4 ο γαρ θεος ενετειλατο λεγων τιμα τον πατερα και την μητερα και ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω
For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'He who speaks evil of his father or mother, will surely die.'
5 υμεις δε λεγετε ος αν ειπη τω πατρι η τη μητρι δωρον ο εαν εξ εμου ωφεληθης και ου μη τιμηση τον πατερα αυτου η την μητερα αυτου
But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother “Whatever help you would have received from me is now a gift given to God,”'
6 και ηκυρωσατε την εντολην του θεου δια την παραδοσιν υμων
that person does not need to honor his father. In this way you have made void the word of God for the sake of your traditions.
7 υποκριται καλως προεφητευσεν περι υμων ησαιας λεγων
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you when he said,
8 εγγιζει μοι ο λαος ουτος τω στοματι αυτων και τοις χειλεσιν με τιμα η δε καρδια αυτων πορρω απεχει απ εμου
'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 ματην δε σεβονται με διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων
They worship me in vain, because they teach as their doctrines the commandments of people.'”
10 και προσκαλεσαμενος τον οχλον ειπεν αυτοις ακουετε και συνιετε
Then he called the crowd to himself and said to them, “Listen and understand—
11 ου το εισερχομενον εις το στομα κοινοι τον ανθρωπον αλλα το εκπορευομενον εκ του στοματος τουτο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
Nothing that enters into the mouth defiles a person. Instead, what comes out of the mouth, this is what defiles a person.”
12 τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ειπον αυτω οιδας οτι οι φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες τον λογον εσκανδαλισθησαν
Then the disciples came and said to Jesus, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?”
13 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν πασα φυτεια ην ουκ εφυτευσεν ο πατηρ μου ο ουρανιος εκριζωθησεται
Jesus answered and said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.
14 αφετε αυτους οδηγοι εισιν τυφλοι τυφλων τυφλος δε τυφλον εαν οδηγη αμφοτεροι εις βοθυνον πεσουνται
Let them alone, they are blind guides. If a blind person guides another blind person, both will fall into a pit.”
15 αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν αυτω φρασον ημιν την παραβολην ταυτην
Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 ο δε ιησους ειπεν ακμην και υμεις ασυνετοι εστε
Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding?
17 ουπω νοειτε οτι παν το εισπορευομενον εις το στομα εις την κοιλιαν χωρει και εις αφεδρωνα εκβαλλεται
Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is then passed out into the latrine?
18 τα δε εκπορευομενα εκ του στοματος εκ της καρδιας εξερχεται κακεινα κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart. They are the things that defile a person.
19 εκ γαρ της καρδιας εξερχονται διαλογισμοι πονηροι φονοι μοιχειαι πορνειαι κλοπαι ψευδομαρτυριαι βλασφημιαι
For from the heart proceed evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and slander.
20 ταυτα εστιν τα κοινουντα τον ανθρωπον το δε ανιπτοις χερσιν φαγειν ου κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
These are the things that defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a person.”
21 και εξελθων εκειθεν ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εις τα μερη τυρου και σιδωνος
Then Jesus went away from there and withdrew toward the regions of the cities of Tyre and Sidon.
22 και ιδου γυνη χαναναια απο των οριων εκεινων εξελθουσα εκραυγασεν αυτω λεγουσα ελεησον με κυριε υιε δαυιδ η θυγατηρ μου κακως δαιμονιζεται
Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from that region. She shouted out and said, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 ο δε ουκ απεκριθη αυτη λογον και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες απολυσον αυτην οτι κραζει οπισθεν ημων
But Jesus answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is shouting after us.”
24 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ουκ απεσταλην ει μη εις τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλ
But Jesus answered and said, “I was not sent to anyone except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 η δε ελθουσα προσεκυνησεν αυτω λεγουσα κυριε βοηθει μοι
But she came and bowed down before him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ουκ εστιν καλον λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και βαλειν τοις κυναριοις
He answered and said, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
27 η δε ειπεν ναι κυριε και γαρ τα κυναρια εσθιει απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο της τραπεζης των κυριων αυτων
She said, “Yes, Lord, but even the little dogs eat some of the crumbs that fall from their masters' tables.”
28 τοτε αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτη ω γυναι μεγαλη σου η πιστις γενηθητω σοι ως θελεις και ιαθη η θυγατηρ αυτης απο της ωρας εκεινης
Then Jesus answered and said to her, “Woman, great is your faith; let it be done for you just as you wish.” At that hour her daughter was healed.
29 και μεταβας εκειθεν ο ιησους ηλθεν παρα την θαλασσαν της γαλιλαιας και αναβας εις το ορος εκαθητο εκει
Jesus left that place and went near to the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up a hill and sat there.
30 και προσηλθον αυτω οχλοι πολλοι εχοντες μεθ εαυτων χωλους τυφλους κωφους κυλλους και ετερους πολλους και ερριψαν αυτους παρα τους ποδας του ιησου και εθεραπευσεν αυτους
Large crowds came to him. They brought with them lame, blind, mute, and crippled people, and many others who were sick. They presented them at Jesus' feet, and he healed them.
31 ωστε τους οχλους θαυμασαι βλεποντας κωφους λαλουντας κυλλους υγιεις χωλους περιπατουντας και τυφλους βλεποντας και εδοξασαν τον θεον ισραηλ
So the crowd marveled when they saw the mute persons speak, the crippled made well, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. They praised the God of Israel.
32 ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος τους μαθητας αυτου ειπεν σπλαγχνιζομαι επι τον οχλον οτι ηδη ημεραι τρεις προσμενουσιν μοι και ουκ εχουσιν τι φαγωσιν και απολυσαι αυτους νηστεις ου θελω μηποτε εκλυθωσιν εν τη οδω
Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me for three days already and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away without eating, or they may faint on the way.”
33 και λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου ποθεν ημιν εν ερημια αρτοι τοσουτοι ωστε χορτασαι οχλον τοσουτον
The disciples said to him, “Where can we get enough loaves of bread in such a deserted place to satisfy so large a crowd?”
34 και λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους ποσους αρτους εχετε οι δε ειπον επτα και ολιγα ιχθυδια
Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 και εκελευσεν τοις οχλοις αναπεσειν επι την γην
Then Jesus commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground.
36 και λαβων τους επτα αρτους και τους ιχθυας ευχαριστησας εκλασεν και εδωκεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου οι δε μαθηται τω οχλω
He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks, he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples. The disciples gave them to the crowd.
37 και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων επτα σπυριδας πληρεις
The people all ate and were satisfied. Then they gathered up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38 οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν τετρακισχιλιοι ανδρες χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 και απολυσας τους οχλους ενεβη εις το πλοιον και ηλθεν εις τα ορια μαγδαλα
Then Jesus sent the crowds away and got into the boat and went into the region of Magadan.
