Matthew 15
1 Then, there come unto Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying—
Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,
2 Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not 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 unto them—Wherefore do, ye also, transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For, God, said—Honour thy father and thy mother, and—He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die!
For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But, ye, say—Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother—A gift! Whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given [to God];
6 in nowise, shall honour his father or his mother—and so ye have cancelled, the word of God, for the sake of your, tradition.
he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying—
Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;
This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.
9 But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching, for teachings, the commandments of men.
But in vain do they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men.
10 And, calling near the multitude, he said to them—Hear and understand!
And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,
Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.
12 Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him—Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble?
Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?
13 And, he, answering, said—Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted:
But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone! they are, blind leaders; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.
Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.
15 And Peter, answering, said unto him, Declare to us the parable.
And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.
16 And, he, said, To this moment, are, ye also, without discernment?
And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?
17 Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;
Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, —murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
20 these, are the things which defile the man, but, the eating with unwashed hands, doth not defile the man.
these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.
21 And, going forth from thence, Jesus retired into the parts of Tyre and Zidon.
And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably demonized.
And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.
23 But, he, answered her no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying—Dismiss her, because she is crying out 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 was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me.
But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But, he, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, to the little dogs.
And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
27 And, she, said, True, Lord! [for], even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling from the table of, their masters.
But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28 Then, answering, Jesus said to her—O woman! great, is, thy faith! Be it, done, for 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 done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 And, passing on from thence, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee, and, going up into the mountain, was sitting there.
And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
30 And there came unto him large multitudes, having with themselves the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, —and they cast them near his feet, and he cured them;
And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them:
31 so that the multitude marvelled, seeing the dumb speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, —and they glorified the God of Israel.
insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 But, Jesus, calling near his disciples, said—My compassions are moved towards the multitude, because [even now], three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat, —and, to dismiss them fasting, I am not willing, lest by any means they faint in the way.
And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way.
33 And his disciples say unto him—Whence, to us, in a wilderness, loaves in such numbers as to fill a multitude, so great?
And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them—How many, loaves have ye? And, they, said, —Seven, and a few small fishes.
And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
35 And, sending word to the multitude to recline upon the ground,
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
36 he took the seven loaves, and the fishes, and, giving thanks, brake, —and began giving to his disciples, and, the disciples, to the multitudes.
and he took the seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
37 And they all did eat and were filled, —and, the remainder of the broken pieces, took they up, seven hampers, full.
And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
38 And, they who did eat, were four thousand men, besides women and children.
And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the boat, —and came into the bounds of Magadan.
And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.
