Matthew 15
1 Then scholars and Pharisees from Jerusalem come to Jesus, saying,
Then Pharisees [Separated] and Torah-Teachers came to Yeshua [Salvation] from Jerusalem [City of peace], saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
“Why do your disciples disobey ·to be contrary, to violate and overstep command, to pass over without touching anything· the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 And having answered, he said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, because of your tradition?
He answered them, “Why do you also disobey ·to be contrary, to violate and overstep command, to pass over without touching anything· the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and thy mother, and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him perish in death.
For God enjoins these words, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
5 But ye say, Whoever may say to the father or the mother, Whatever thou might have benefited from me is an offering.
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 he will, no, not honor his father or mother. And ye have annulled the command of God because of your tradition.
then he is rid of his duty to honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying,
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people comes near me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips, but their heart is far distant from me.
‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
10 And having called in the multitude, he said to them, Hear and understand.
He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
11 Not that which enters into the mouth defiles the man, but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
That which enters into the mouth does not defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
12 Then having come near, his disciples said to him, Know thou that the Pharisees were offended when they heard the saying?
Then the disciples came, and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees [Separated] were scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·, when they heard this saying?”
13 But having answered, he said, Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant, will be uprooted.
But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
14 Leave them. They are blind leaders of blind men, and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.
Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
15 And having answered, Peter said to him, Explain this parable to us.
Peter [Rock] answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also still without understanding?
So Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Do you also still not understand?
17 Do ye not yet understand, that everything entering into the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into a toilet?
Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?
18 But the things coming out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and those things defile the man.
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
19 For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, revilings.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, moicheiai ·adulteries·, porhneia ·sexual immorality·, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
20 These are things defiling the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with ritually unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
21 And having gone out from there, Jesus departed into the regions of Tyre and Sidon.
Yeshua [Salvation] went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And behold, a Canaanite woman having come out from those regions, cried out to him, saying, Be merciful to me, O Lord, thou son of David, my daughter is grievously demon-possessed.
Behold, a Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled] woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David [Beloved]! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples having approached, they besought him, saying, Send her away, because she cries out behind us.
But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
24 But having answered, he said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
But he answered, “I was not sent to just anyone but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel [God prevails].”
25 But having come, she worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me.
But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 And having answered, he said, It is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the house dogs.
But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
27 But she said, Yes, Lord, for even the house 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 having answered, said to her, O woman, great is thy faith. Be it done for thee as thou desire. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Then Yeshua [Salvation] answered her, “Woman, great is your trusting faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 And having departed from there, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee. And having gone up onto the mountain, he sat there.
Yeshua [Salvation] departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee [District, Circuit]; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
30 And many multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, crippled, and many others. And they placed them beside Jesus' feet, and he healed them,
Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,
31 so as for the multitudes to marvel seeing the mute speaking, the maimed healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing— and they glorified the God of Israel [God prevails].
32 And Jesus having summoned his disciples, he said, I feel compassion toward the multitude because they continue with me now three days and do not have what they might eat. And I do not want to dismiss them without food, lest they might faint on the way.
Yeshua [Salvation] summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
33 And his disciples say to him, From where are so many loaves for us in a wilderness so as to feed so great a multitude?
The disciples said to him, “Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
34 And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the ground.
He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
36 And after taking the seven loaves and the fishes, having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
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 multitudes.
37 And they all ate and were filled. And they took up seven hampers full of the fragments that remained.
They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38 And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And having dismissed the multitudes, he entered into the boat, and came into the regions of Magdala.
Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
