1 T hen come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem -- scribes and Pharisees -- saying,

Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

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

“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”

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

And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

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

For God said, ‘ Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘ He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’

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

But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,”

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

he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

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

You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:

8 T his 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;

‘ This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me.

9 a nd in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings -- commands of men.'

‘ But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”

10 A nd having called near the multitude, he said to them, `Hear and understand:

After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand.

11 n ot that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.'

It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

12 T hen his disciples having come near, said to him, `Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'

Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?”

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

But He answered and said, “ Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted.

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

Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” The Heart of Man

15 A nd Peter answering said to him, `Explain to us this simile.'

Peter said to Him, “ Explain the parable to us.”

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

Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in understanding also?

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

Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

18 b ut the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;

But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

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

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.

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

These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.” The Syrophoenician Woman

21 A nd Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,

Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.

22 a nd 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.'

And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed.”

23 A nd 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;'

But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.”

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

But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25 A nd having come, she was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, help me;'

But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

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

And He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

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

But she said, “Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

28 t hen 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.

Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once. Healing Crowds

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

Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there.

30 a nd 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,

And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.

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

So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. Four Thousand Fed

32 A nd 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.'

And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “ I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.”

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

The disciples said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?”

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

And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

35 A nd he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;

36 a nd 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.

and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

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

And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full.

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

And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

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

And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.
