Matthew 15
1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, who were of Jerusalem, saying,
Then came to Jesus the scribes and pharisees from Jerusalem saying,
2 Why 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.
3 But he answered and said to them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
But He answered and said unto them, And why do ye transgress the commandment of God for your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
For God commanded saying, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He that revileth father or mother, let him be put to death:
5 But ye say, Whoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me;
but ye say, If any man say to his father or mother, "that which thou mightest be profited by from me is a gift to the temple,"
6 And honor not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
and so honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. And thus have ye made void the commandment of God by your tradition.
7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Well did Esaias prophecy concerning you,
8 This people draw nigh to me with their mouth, and honor me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
saying, This people approach me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me:
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
but in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the injunctions of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand:
And He called the multitude to Him, and said unto them, Hear and understand it:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
not that which goeth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this polluteth the man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying?
Whereupon his disciples came and said to Him, Dost thou know that the pharisees, when they heard this assertion, were offended at it?
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be extirpated.
But He answered and said, Every plantation which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leadeth the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
Regard them not; for they are blind guides of the blind: and if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.
15 Then answered Peter and said to him, Declare to us this parable.
Then Peter answered, and said unto Him, Explain to us this parable.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
And Jesus replied, Are ye also still void of understanding?
17 Do ye not yet understand, that whatever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Do ye not yet know, that whatever goeth into the mouth passeth to the belly and is discharged downwards?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
But the things, which proceed out of the mouth, come from the heart, and those defile a man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
For out of the heart proceed wicked disputings, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false-witnessings, slanders:
20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
these defile a man, but to eat without washing the hands doth not defile him.
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the territories of Tyre and Sidon.
And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the parts adjacent to Tyre and Sidon.
22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same territories, and cried to him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] son of David; my daughter is grievously afflicted with a demon.
And there came out of those quarters a Canaanitish woman, and cried to Him saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; for my daughter is grievously tormented by a demon.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered her not a word: and his disciples came and intreated Him, saying, Send her away, for she crieth importunately after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
But he answered and said, I am sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me.
However, she came and worshipped Him, saying, Lord help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.
But he answered, It is not fit to take the children's bread and throw it to dogs: and she said, True, Lord;
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crums which fall from their master's table.
yet the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it to thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Then Jesus answering, said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it therefore unto thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that very hour.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh to the sea of Galilee; and ascended a mountain, and sat down there.
And Jesus departed from thence, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and going up to a mountain He sat down there.
30 And great multitudes came to him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
And great multitudes came to Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and laid them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them.
31 So 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 people wondered when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed become sound, the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples [to him], and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
Then Jesus called his disciples to Him and said, I am moved with compassion to the multitude, for they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: I will not let them go away fasting, least they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to satisfy so great a multitude?
And his disciples replied, Whence can we have so much bread in this desert place as to satisfy so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? and they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit on the ground.
Then He bid the people sit down on the ground;
36 And 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 taking the seven loaves and the fishes, when He had given thanks, He brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they all ate and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that were left seven baskets full.
And they did all eat, and were satisfied: and they took up what was left even of fragments seven baskets full.
38 And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Now they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
