Matthew 15
1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the Law came to Jesus, and said,
τοτε προσερχονται τω ιησου οι απο ιεροσολυμων γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι λεγοντες
2 ‘How is it that your disciples break the traditions of our ancestors? For they do not wash their hands when they eat food.’
διατι οι μαθηται σου παραβαινουσιν την παραδοσιν των πρεσβυτερων ου γαρ νιπτονται τας χειρας αυτων οταν αρτον εσθιωσιν
3 His reply was, ‘How is it that you on your side break God’s commandments out of respect for your own traditions?
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις διατι και υμεις παραβαινετε την εντολην του θεου δια την παραδοσιν υμων
4 For God said – “Honour your father and mother,” and “Anyone who abuses his father or mother shall suffer death,”
ο γαρ θεος ενετειλατο λεγων τιμα τον πατερα και την μητερα και ο κακολογων πατερα η μητερα θανατω τελευτατω
5 but you say “Whenever anyone says to his father or mother ‘Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is set apart for God,’
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
6 he is in no way bound to honour his father.” In this way you have nullified the words of God for the sake of your traditions.
και ηκυρωσατε την εντολην του θεου δια την παραδοσιν υμων
7 Hypocrites! It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you –
υποκριται καλως προεφητευσεν περι υμων ησαιας λεγων
8 “This is a people that honour me with their lips, While their hearts are far removed from me;
εγγιζει μοι ο λαος ουτος τω στοματι αυτων και τοις χειλεσιν με τιμα η δε καρδια αυτων πορρω απεχει απ εμου
9 but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but human precepts.”’
ματην δε σεβονται με διδασκοντες διδασκαλιας ενταλματα ανθρωπων
10 Then Jesus called the people to him, and said, ‘Listen, and mark my words.
και προσκαλεσαμενος τον οχλον ειπεν αυτοις ακουετε και συνιετε
11 It is not what enters a person’s mouth that defiles them, but what comes out from their mouth – that does defile them!’
ου το εισερχομενον εις το στομα κοινοι τον ανθρωπον αλλα το εκπορευομενον εκ του στοματος τουτο κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
12 His disciples came up to him, and said, ‘Do you know that the Pharisees were shocked on hearing what you said?’
τοτε προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ειπον αυτω οιδας οτι οι φαρισαιοι εσκανδαλισθησαν ακουσαντες τον λογον
13 ‘Every plant,’ Jesus replied, ‘that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν πασα φυτεια ην ουκ εφυτευσεν ο πατηρ μου ο ουρανιος εκριζωθησεται
14 Leave them be; they are but blind guides; and, if one blind person guides another, both of them will fall into a ditch.’
αφετε αυτους οδηγοι εισιν τυφλοι τυφλων τυφλος δε τυφλον εαν οδηγη αμφοτεροι εις βοθυνον πεσουνται
15 Peter spoke up, ‘Explain this saying to us.’
αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος ειπεν αυτω φρασον ημιν την παραβολην ταυτην
16 ‘What, do even you understand nothing yet?’ Jesus exclaimed.
ο δε ιησους ειπεν ακμην και υμεις ασυνετοι εστε
17 ‘Don’t you see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is afterwards expelled?
ουπω νοειτε οτι παν το εισπορευομενον εις το στομα εις την κοιλιαν χωρει και εις αφεδρωνα εκβαλλεται
18 But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile a person;
τα δε εκπορευομενα εκ του στοματος εκ της καρδιας εξερχεται κακεινα κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
19 for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts – murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, perjury, slander.
εκ γαρ της καρδιας εξερχονται διαλογισμοι πονηροι φονοι μοιχειαι πορνειαι κλοπαι ψευδομαρτυριαι βλασφημιαι
20 These are the things that defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person.’
ταυτα εστιν τα κοινουντα τον ανθρωπον το δε ανιπτοις χερσιν φαγειν ου κοινοι τον ανθρωπον
21 On going away from that place, Jesus went to the country round Tyre and Sidon.
και εξελθων εκειθεν ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εις τα μερη τυρου και σιδωνος
22 There, a Canaanite woman of that district came out and began calling to Jesus, ‘Take pity on me, Master, Son of David; my daughter is grievously possessed by a demon.’
και ιδου γυνη χαναναια απο των οριων εκεινων εξελθουσα εκραυγασεν αυτω λεγουσα ελεησον με κυριε υιε δαυιδ η θυγατηρ μου κακως δαιμονιζεται
23 But Jesus did not answer her a word; and his disciples came up and begged him to send her away. ‘She keeps calling out after us,’ they said.
ο δε ουκ απεκριθη αυτη λογον και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες απολυσον αυτην οτι κραζει οπισθεν ημων
24 ‘I was not sent,’ replied Jesus, ‘to anyone except the lost sheep of Israel.’
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ουκ απεσταλην ει μη εις τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλ
25 But the woman came, and, bowing to the ground before him, said, ‘Master, help me.’
η δε ελθουσα προσεκυνησεν αυτω λεγουσα κυριε βοηθει μοι
26 ‘It is not fair,’ replied Jesus, ‘to take the children’s food and throw it to dogs.’
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ουκ εστιν καλον λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και βαλειν τοις κυναριοις
27 ‘Yes, Master,’ she said, ‘for even dogs do feed on the scraps that fall from their owners’ table.’
η δε ειπεν ναι κυριε και γαρ τα κυναρια εσθιει απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο της τραπεζης των κυριων αυτων
28 ‘Your faith is great,’ was his reply to the woman, ‘it will be as you wish!’ And her daughter was cured that very hour.
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
29 On leaving that place, Jesus went to the shore of the Sea of Galilee; and then went up the hill, and sat down.
και μεταβας εκειθεν ο ιησους ηλθεν παρα την θαλασσαν της γαλιλαιας και αναβας εις το ορος εκαθητο εκει
30 Great crowds of people came to him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, or dumb, and many others. They put them down at his feet, and he cured them;
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
31 and the crowds were astonished, when they saw the dumb talking, the cripples made sound, the lame walking about, and the blind with their sight restored; and they praised the God of Israel.
ωστε τους οχλους θαυμασαι βλεποντας κωφους [ ακουοντας αλαλους ] λαλουντας κυλλους υγιεις χωλους περιπατουντας και τυφλους βλεποντας και εδοξασαν τον θεον ισραηλ
32 Afterwards Jesus called his disciples to him, and said, ‘My heart is moved at the sight of all these people, for they have already been with me three days and they have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry; they might faint on the way home.’
ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος τους μαθητας αυτου ειπεν σπλαγχνιζομαι επι τον οχλον οτι ηδη ημεραι τρεις προσμενουσιν μοι και ουκ εχουσιν τι φαγωσιν και απολυσαι αυτους νηστεις ου θελω μηποτε εκλυθωσιν εν τη οδω
33 ‘Where can we,’ his disciples asked, ‘in a lonely place find enough bread for such a crowd as this?’
και λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου ποθεν ημιν εν ερημια αρτοι τοσουτοι ωστε χορτασαι οχλον τοσουτον
34 ‘How many loaves have you?’ said Jesus. ‘Seven,’ they answered, ‘and a few small fish.’
και λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους ποσους αρτους εχετε οι δε ειπον επτα και ολιγα ιχθυδια
35 Telling the crowd to sit down on the ground,
και εκελευσεν τοις οχλοις αναπεσειν επι την γην
36 Jesus took the seven loaves and the fish, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke them, and gave them to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
και λαβων τους επτα αρτους και τους ιχθυας ευχαριστησας εκλασεν και εδωκεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου οι δε μαθηται τοις οχλοις
37 Everyone had sufficient to eat, and they picked up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left.
και εφαγον παντες και εχορτασθησαν και ηραν το περισσευον των κλασματων επτα σπυριδας πληρεις
38 The men who ate were four thousand in number without counting women and children.
οι δε εσθιοντες ησαν τετρακισχιλιοι ανδρες χωρις γυναικων και παιδιων
39 Then, after dismissing the crowds, Jesus got into the boat, and went to the region of Magadan.
και απολυσας τους οχλους ενεβη εις το πλοιον και ηλθεν εις τα ορια μαγδαλα
