Matthew 15
1 Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.
And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
[Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?
And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.
These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried [to him] saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.
27 But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29 And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;
And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30 and great crowds came to him, having with them lame, blind, dumb, crippled, and many others, and they cast them at his feet, and he healed them:
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
31 so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.
Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in [the] wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?
And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake [them], and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.
38 but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
