1 T hen there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,

Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem -- scribes and Pharisees -- saying,

2 W hy do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

`Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'

3 A nd he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

And he answering said to them, `Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?

4 F or God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.

for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

5 B ut ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God;

but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering whatever thou mayest be profited by me; --

6 h e shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.

and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.

7 Y e hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

`Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

8 T his people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me;

9 B ut in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings -- commands of men.'

10 A nd he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

And having called near the multitude, he said to them, `Hear and understand:

11 N ot that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.'

12 T hen came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?

Then his disciples having come near, said to him, `Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'

13 B ut he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.

And he answering said, `Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;

14 L et them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

let them alone, guides they are -- blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.'

15 A nd Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.

And Peter answering said to him, `Explain to us this simile.'

16 A nd he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?

And Jesus said, `Are ye also yet without understanding?

17 P erceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?

18 B ut the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.

but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;

19 F or out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:

for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:

20 t hese are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.

these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.'

21 A nd Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.

And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,

22 A nd 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.

and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, `Deal kindly with me, Sir -- Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'

23 B ut he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying -- `Let her away, because she crieth after us;'

24 B ut he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

and he answering said, `I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'

25 B ut she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, help me;'

26 A nd he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

and he answering said, `It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'

27 B ut she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

And she said, `Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;'

28 T hen 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.

then answering, Jesus said to her, `O woman, great thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

29 A nd Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,

30 A nd there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at this feet; and he healed them:

and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,

31 i nsomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.

so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 A nd 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.

And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.'

33 A nd the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?

And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?'

34 A nd Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

And Jesus saith to them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven, and a few little fishes.'

35 A nd he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

36 a nd 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.

and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37 A nd they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,

38 A nd they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.

and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.

39 A nd he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.

And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.
