Κατα Ματθαιον 15
1 Τότε προσέρχονται τῷ ⸀Ἰησοῦἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων ⸂Φαρισαῖοι καὶ γραμματεῖς λέγοντες
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came to Jesus and said,
2 Διὰ τί οἱ μαθηταί σου παραβαίνουσιν τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων; οὐ γὰρ νίπτονται τὰς χεῖρας ⸀αὐτῶνὅταν ἄρτον ἐσθίωσιν.
“Why do yoʋr disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Διὰ τί καὶ ὑμεῖς παραβαίνετε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν;
He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 ὁ γὰρ θεὸς ⸀εἶπεν Τίμα τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα, καί· Ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτω·
For God commanded, ‘Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of his father or mother must surely die.’
5 ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε· Ὃς ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί· Δῶρον ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς,
But you say, ‘If anyone says to his father or mother, “Whatever benefit yoʋ might have received from me is now a gift devoted to God,” then he certainly need not honor his father or his mother.’
6 ⸀οὐμὴ ⸀τιμήσειτὸν πατέρα ⸀αὐτοῦ καὶ ἠκυρώσατε ⸂τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν.
You have nullified the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 ὑποκριταί, καλῶς ἐπροφήτευσεν περὶ ὑμῶν Ἠσαΐας λέγων·
Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied rightly about you when he said,
8 ⸂Ὁ λαὸς οὗτος τοῖς χείλεσίν με τιμᾷ, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν πόρρω ἀπέχει ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ·
‘This people draws near to me with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 μάτην δὲ σέβονταί με, διδάσκοντες διδασκαλίας ἐντάλματα ἀνθρώπων.
They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
10 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν ὄχλον εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ἀκούετε καὶ συνίετε·
Then Jesus called the crowd over and said to them, “Listen and understand:
11 οὐ τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person; it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a person.”
12 Τότε προσελθόντες οἱ ⸀μαθηταὶ⸀λέγουσιναὐτῷ· Οἶδας ὅτι οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον ἐσκανδαλίσθησαν;
Then his disciples came and said to him, “Do yoʋ know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard what yoʋ said?”
13 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· Πᾶσα φυτεία ἣν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται.
Jesus answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.
14 ἄφετε αὐτούς· ⸂τυφλοί εἰσιν ὁδηγοὶ τυφλῶν· τυφλὸς δὲ τυφλὸν ἐὰν ὁδηγῇ, ἀμφότεροι εἰς βόθυνον πεσοῦνται.
Leave them be; they are blind guides of the blind. And if one blind person guides another, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολὴν ⸀ταύτην
Then Peter said to him in response, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 ὁ ⸀δὲεἶπεν· Ἀκμὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε;
Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding?
17 ⸀οὐνοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν χωρεῖ καὶ εἰς ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκβάλλεται;
Do you not yet understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled into the latrine?
18 τὰ δὲ ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ἐκ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχεται, κἀκεῖνα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile a person.
19 ἐκ γὰρ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχονται διαλογισμοὶ πονηροί, φόνοι, μοιχεῖαι, πορνεῖαι, κλοπαί, ψευδομαρτυρίαι, βλασφημίαι.
For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false testimony, and slander.
20 ταῦτά ἐστιν τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸ δὲ ἀνίπτοις χερσὶν φαγεῖν οὐ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.
These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a person.”
21 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐκεῖθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὰ μέρη Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος.
Then Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22 καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ Χαναναία ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ⸀ἔκραζενλέγουσα· Ἐλέησόν με, κύριε ⸀υἱὸςΔαυίδ· ἡ θυγάτηρ μου κακῶς δαιμονίζεται.
And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came and cried out to him, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῇ λόγον. καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ⸀ἠρώτουναὐτὸν λέγοντες· Ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν, ὅτι κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν.
But he did not respond to her at all. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.”
24 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· Οὐκ ἀπεστάλην εἰ μὴ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ.
In response Jesus said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 ἡ δὲ ἐλθοῦσα ⸀προσεκύνειαὐτῷ λέγουσα· Κύριε, βοήθει μοι.
But she came and bowed down before him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· Οὐκ ἔστιν καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις.
He replied, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”
27 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· Ναί, κύριε, καὶ γὰρ τὰ κυνάρια ἐσθίει ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν.
She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.”
28 τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Ὦ γύναι, μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις· γενηθήτω σοι ὡς θέλεις. καὶ ἰάθη ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.
Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is yoʋr faith; it will be done for yoʋ as yoʋ wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 Καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἀναβὰς εἰς τὸ ὄρος ἐκάθητο ἐκεῖ.
Departing from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on the mountain and sat down.
30 καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοὶ ἔχοντες μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν ⸂κωφούς, τυφλούς, χωλούς, κυλλούς, καὶ ἑτέρους πολλούς, καὶ ἔρριψαν αὐτοὺς παρὰ τοὺς πόδας ⸀αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς·
Large crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, crippled, and many others. They put them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them.
31 ὥστε ⸂τὸν ὄχλον θαυμάσαι βλέποντας κωφοὺς λαλοῦντας ⸂κυλλοὺς ὑγιεῖς ⸀καὶχωλοὺς περιπατοῦντας καὶ τυφλοὺς βλέποντας· καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸν θεὸν Ἰσραήλ.
So the crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπεν· Σπλαγχνίζομαι ἐπὶ τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ἤδη ἡμέραι τρεῖς προσμένουσίν μοι καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν τί φάγωσιν· καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτοὺς νήστεις οὐ θέλω, μήποτε ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
Then Jesus called his disciples over and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have stayed with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away without having eaten, lest they faint on the way.”
33 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ ⸀μαθηταί Πόθεν ἡμῖν ἐν ἐρημίᾳ ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον;
His disciples said to him, “Where can we get so many loaves in such a desolate place to fill such a large crowd?”
34 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· Ἑπτά, καὶ ὀλίγα ἰχθύδια.
Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 καὶ ⸀παραγγείλας⸂τῷ ὄχλῳ ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν
So he commanded the crowds to sit down on the ground,
36 ⸀ἔλαβεντοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους καὶτοὺς ἰχθύας ⸀καὶ εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ⸀ἐδίδουτοῖς ⸀μαθηταῖςοἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ⸂τοῖς ὄχλοις.
and taking the seven loaves and the fish, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowd.
37 καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ⸂τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων ἦραν ἑπτὰ σπυρίδας πλήρεις.
They all ate and were filled, and the disciples picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
38 οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων.
Besides women and children, there were four thousand men who had eaten.
39 καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἐνέβη εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια ⸀Μαγαδάν
After sending the crowds away, Jesus got into the boat and went to the region of Magdala.
