< Matthew 15 >

1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
Then came to Iesus scribes and pharises from Ierusalem sayinge:
2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
why do thy disciples transgresse the tradicios of ye elders? for they wesshe not their hondes when they eate breed.
3 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
He answered and sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse ye comaundment of God thorowe youre tradicions?
4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
For God comaunded sayinge: honoure thy father and mother and he that cursseth father or mother shall suffer deeth.
5 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,”
But ye saye every ma shall saye to his father or mother: That which thou desyrest of me to helpe ye with: is geven God:
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
and so shall he not honoure his father or his mother. And thus haue ye made yt the comaundment of God is with out effecte through youre tradicios.
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Ypocrites well prophesyed of you Esay sayinge:
8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouthes and honoureth me with their lippes howbe it their hertes are farre from me:
9 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
but in vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctrines whiche are nothing but mens precepts.
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
And he called the people vnto him and sayde to them: heare and vnderstande.
11 That which enters into the mouth does not defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
That which goeth into the mouth defyleth not ye man: but that which commeth out of the mouth defyleth the man.
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
Then came his disciples and sayde vnto him. Perceavest thou not how that the pharises are offended in hearinge thys sayinge?
13 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
He answered and sayde: all plantes which my hevely father hath not planted shalbe plucked vp by the rotes.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Let them alone they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leede the blynde boothe shall fall into the dyche.
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
Then answered Peter and sayd to him: declare vnto vs this parable.
16 So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
Then sayde Iesus: are ye yet with oute vnderstondinge?
17 Do not you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
perceave ye not that what soever goeth in at the mouth descendeth doune in to the bely and is cast out into the draught?
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
But those thingis which procede out of the mouth come from the herte and they defyle the man.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
For out of the herte come evyll thoughtis murder breakyng of wedlocke whordo theefte falce witnes berynge blasphemye.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
These are the thingis which defyle a man. But to eate with vnwesshen hondes defyleth not a man.
21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
And Iesus went thence and departed in to the costis of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
And beholde a woman which was a Cananite came out of ye same coostis and cryed vnto him sayinge: have mercy on me Lorde the sonne of David my doughter is pytiously vexed with a devyll.
23 But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
And he gave her never a worde to answer. Then came to him his disciples and besought him sayinge: sende her awaye for she foloweth vs cryinge.
24 But he answered, “I was not sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
He answered and sayde: I am not sent but vnto ye loost shepe of ye housse of Israel.
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
Then she came and worshipped him sayinge: master helpe me.
26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
He answered and sayde: it is not good to take the chyldrens breed and to cast it to whelpes.
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
She answered and sayde: truthe Lorde: neverthelesse the whelpes eate of the cromes which fall from their masters table.
28 Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Then Iesus answered and sayde vnto her. O woman greate is thy faith be it to the even as thou desyrest. And her doughter was made whole even at that same houre.
29 Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.
Then Iesus went awaye from thence and came nye vnto the see of Galile and went vp in to a mountayne and sat doune there.
30 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,
And moche people came vnto him havinge with the halt blynde domme maymed and other many: and cast them doune at Iesus fete. And he healed them
31 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.
in so moche that the people wondred to se the dome speake the maymed whole the halt to go and ye blynde to se. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued 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.”
Then Iesus called his disciples to him and sayde: I have compassion on ye people becau se they have cotynued with me now. iii. dayes and have nought to eate: and I wyll not let them departe fastinge leste they perisshe in ye waye.
33 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
And his disciples sayd vnto him: whece shuld we get so moche breed in ye wildernes as shuld suffise so greate a multitude?
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
And Iesus sayde vnto them: how many loves have ye? And they sayde: seven and a feawe litle fysshes.
35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
And he comaunded ye people to syt doune on ye grounde:
36 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.
and toke the seven loves and the fysshes and gave thankes and brake them and gave to his disciples and the disciples gave them to the people.
37 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
And they dyd all eate and were suffised. And they toke vp of the broke meate that was lefte. vii. basketes full.
38 Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
And yet they that ate were. iiii. M. men besyde wemen and chyldren.
39 Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
And he sent awaye the people and toke shippe and came into the parties of Magdala.
