1 Then certain scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem came unto Jesus, saying,

Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,

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

Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

3 B ut he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

But he answering said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?

4 F or God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother, and, He that curses father or mother, let him die without recourse.

For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.

5 B ut ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever I might have helped thee with is already my offering unto God,

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever by which from me thou wouldest be profited:

6 a nd now has no need to honour his father or his mother with succour. Thus ye have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.

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.

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

Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,

8 T his people draws nigh unto me with their mouth and honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;

9 B ut in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.

but in vain do they worship me, teaching teachings commandments of men.

10 And calling the multitude unto him, he said unto them, Hear and understand:

And having called to the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:

11 n ot that which goes into the mouth defiles the man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

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

Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?

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

But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.

14 L et them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.

15 T hen Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.

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

But he said, Are ye also still without intelligence?

17 D o not ye yet understand that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly and is cast out into the draught?

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?

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

but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.

19 F or out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;

20 t hese are the things which defile the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.

these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

21 Then Jesus left there and departed into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.

And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon;

22 A nd, behold, a woman of Canaan having come out of the same borders cried unto him, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me; my daughter is sick, possessed by a demon.

and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.

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

But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.

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

But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.

25 T hen she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

26 B ut he answered and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread and to cast it to the little dogs.

But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.

27 A nd she said, Yes, Lord, yet the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.

But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.

28 T hen Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee even as thou desire. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

29 And Jesus left there and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee and went up into the mountain and sat down there.

And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there;

30 A nd many people came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many other sick and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them,

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:

31 i nsomuch 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.

so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 T hen Jesus called his disciples unto him and said, I have mercy on the multitude because they persevere with me now three days and have nothing to eat, and I desire not to send them away fasting lest they faint in the way.

But Jesus, having called his disciples to, 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.

33 T hen his disciples say unto him, From where do we have so much bread in the wilderness as to satisfy so great a multitude?

And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd?

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

And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye? But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

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

And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground;

36 A nd he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

37 A nd they all ate and were filled, and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets full.

And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full;

38 A nd those that ate were four thousand men besides women and children.

but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39 A nd he sent away the multitude and took ship and came into the borders of Magdala.

And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan.
