1 ¶ Then certain scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem came unto Jesus, 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 do not wash 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 B ut he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by 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 commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother, and, He that curses father or mother, let him die without recourse.

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, Whatever I might have helped thee with is already my offering unto God,

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

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 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 draws nigh unto me with their mouth and honours 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 doctrines and commandments of men.

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

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

And having called near the multitude, 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 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 his disciples came and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this word?

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 has not planted 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 leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead 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 T hen Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

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

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

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

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 understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?

18 B ut those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from 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 proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

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 unwashed hands does not defile the man.

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

21 ¶ Then Jesus left there and departed 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 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 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 cries out 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 am 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 T hen she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, 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.

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

27 A nd she said, Yes, Lord, yet the little 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 unto thee even as thou desire. And her daughter was made whole from that very 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 ¶ And Jesus left there and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee and went up into the mountain and sat down 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 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 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 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 multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, 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.

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 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 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 little 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 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 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 of the broken food that was left 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 those that ate 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 multitude and took ship and came into the borders of Magdala.

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