Κατα Ματθαιον 15
1 τοτε προσερχονται τω ιησου οι απο ιεροσολυμων γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι λεγοντες
Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,
2 δια τι οι μαθηται σου παραβαινουσιν την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων ου γαρ νιπτονται τας χειρας αυτων οταν αρτον εσθιωσιν
Why do your disciples go against the teaching of the fathers? for they take food with unwashed hands.
3 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις δια τι και υμεις παραβαινετε την εντολην του θεου δια την παραδοσιν υμων
And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?
4 ο γαρ θεος ενετειλατο λεγων τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα και ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω
For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death.
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, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;
6 και ηκυρωσατε την εντολην του θεου δια την παραδοσιν υμων
There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.
7 υποκριται καλως προεφητευσεν περι υμων ησαιας λεγων
You false ones, well did Isaiah say of you,
8 εγγιζει μοι ο λαος ουτος τω στοματι αυτων και τοις χειλεσιν με τιμα η δε καρδια αυτων πορρω απεχει απ εμου
These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 ματην δε σεβονται με διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων
But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.
10 και προσκαλεσαμενος τον οχλον ειπεν αυτοις ακουετε και συνιετε
And he got the people together and said to them, Give ear, and let my words be clear to you:
11 ου το εισερχομενον εις το στομα κοινοι τον ανθρωπον αλλα το εκπορευομενον εκ του στοματος τουτο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
Not that which goes into the mouth makes a man unclean, but that which comes out of the mouth.
12 τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ειπον αυτω οιδας οτι οι φαρισαιοι ακουσαντες τον λογον εσκανδαλισθησαν
Then the disciples came and said to him, Did you see that the Pharisees were troubled when these words came to their ears?
13 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν πασα φυτεια ην ουκ εφυτευσεν ο πατηρ μου ο ουρανιος εκριζωθησεται
But he said in answer, Every plant which my Father in heaven has not put in the earth, will be taken up by the roots.
14 αφετε αυτους οδηγοι εισιν τυφλοι τυφλων τυφλος δε τυφλον εαν οδηγη αμφοτεροι εις βοθυνον πεσουνται
Let them be: they are blind guides. And if a blind man is guiding a blind man, the two will go falling into a hole together.
15 αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν αυτω φρασον ημιν την παραβολην ταυτην
Then Peter said to him, Make the story clear to us.
16 ο δε ιησους ειπεν ακμην και υμεις ασυνετοι εστε
And he said, Are you, like them, still without wisdom?
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 goes on into the stomach, and is sent out as waste?
18 τα δε εκπορευομενα εκ του στοματος εκ της καρδιας εξερχεται κακεινα κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart; and they make a man unclean.
19 εκ γαρ της καρδιας εξερχονται διαλογισμοι πονηροι φονοι μοιχειαι πορνειαι κλοπαι ψευδομαρτυριαι βλασφημιαι
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, the taking of life, broken faith between the married, unclean desires of the flesh, taking of property, false witness, bitter words:
20 ταυτα εστιν τα κοινουντα τον ανθρωπον το δε ανιπτοις χερσιν φαγειν ου κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
These are the things which make a man unclean; but to take food with unwashed hands does not make a man unclean.
21 και εξελθων εκειθεν ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εις τα μερη τυρου και σιδωνος
And Jesus went away from there into the country of Tyre and Sidon.
22 και ιδου γυνη χαναναια απο των οριων εκεινων εξελθουσα εκραυγασεν αυτω λεγουσα ελεησον με κυριε υιε δαβιδ η θυγατηρ μου κακως δαιμονιζεται
And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.
23 ο δε ουκ απεκριθη αυτη λογον και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες απολυσον αυτην οτι κραζει οπισθεν ημων
But he gave her no answer. And his disciples came and said to him, Send her away, for she is crying after us.
24 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ουκ απεσταλην ει μη εις τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλ
But he made answer and said, I was sent only to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel.
25 η δε ελθουσα προσεκυνει αυτω λεγουσα κυριε βοηθει μοι
But she came and gave him worship, saying, Help, Lord.
26 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ουκ εστιν καλον λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και βαλειν τοις κυναριοις
And he made answer and said, It is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.
27 η δε ειπεν ναι κυριε και γαρ τα κυναρια εσθιει απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο της τραπεζης των κυριων αυτων
But she said, Yes, Lord: but even the dogs take the bits from under their masters' table.
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, answering, said to her, O woman, great is your faith: let your desire be done. And her daughter was made well from that hour.
29 και μεταβας εκειθεν ο ιησους ηλθεν παρα την θαλασσαν της γαλιλαιας και αναβας εις το ορος εκαθητο εκει
And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat 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
And there came to him great numbers of people having with them those who were broken in body, or blind, or without voice, or wounded, or ill in any way, and a number of others; they put them down at his feet and he made them well:
31 ωστε τους οχλους θαυμασαι βλεποντας κωφους λαλουντας κυλλους υγιεις χωλους περιπατουντας και τυφλους βλεποντας και εδοξασαν τον θεον ισραηλ
So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.
32 ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος τους μαθητας αυτου ειπεν σπλαγχνιζομαι επι τον οχλον οτι ηδη ημερας τρεις προσμενουσιν μοι και ουκ εχουσιν τι φαγωσιν και απολυσαι αυτους νηστεις ου θελω μηποτε εκλυθωσιν εν τη οδω
And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey.
33 και λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου ποθεν ημιν εν ερημια αρτοι τοσουτοι ωστε χορτασαι οχλον τοσουτον
And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people?
34 και λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους ποσους αρτους εχετε οι δε ειπον επτα και ολιγα ιχθυδια
And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes.
35 και εκελευσεν τοις οχλοις αναπεσειν επι την γην
Then he gave an order to the people to be seated on the earth,
36 και λαβων τους επτα αρτους και τους ιχθυας ευχαριστησας εκλασεν και εδωκεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου οι δε μαθηται τω οχλω
And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.
37 και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων επτα σπυριδας πληρεις
And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.
38 οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν τετρακισχιλιοι ανδρες χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.
39 και απολυσας τους οχλους ενεβη εις το πλοιον και ηλθεν εις τα ορια μαγδαλα
And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.
