| 1 Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying, |
|
| 2 Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread. |
|
| 3 But he answering said to them, Why do *ye* also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
|
|
| 4 For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
|
|
| 5 But *ye* say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever it be by which received from me thou wouldest be profited:
|
|
| 6 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 Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
|
|
| 8 This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
|
|
| 9 but in vain do they worship me, teaching as teachings commandments of men.

|
| 10 And having called to him the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
|
|
| 11 Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
|
|
| 12 Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended? |
|
| 13 But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
|
|
| 14 Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
|
|
| 15 And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable. |
|
| 16 But he said, Are *ye* also still without intelligence?
|
|
| 17 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 but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
|
|
| 19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
|
|
| 20 these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

|
| 21 And Jesus, going forth from thence, went away into the parts of Tyre and Sidon; |
|
| 22 and lo, a Canaanitish woman, coming out from those borders, cried to him saying, Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably possessed by a demon. |
|
| 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to him and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us. |
|
| 24 But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
|
|
| 25 But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me. |
|
| 26 But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
|
|
| 27 But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters. |
|
| 28 Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith is great. Be it to thee as thou desirest.
And her daughter was healed from *that* hour. |

|
| 29 And Jesus, going away from thence, came towards the sea of Galilee, and he went up into the mountain and sat down there; |
|
| 30 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 so that the crowds wondered, seeing dumb speaking, crippled sound, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. |
|
| |
|
| 32 But Jesus, having called his disciples to him, 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 And his disciples say to him, Whence should we have so many loaves in the wilderness as to satisfy so great a crowd? |
|
| 34 And Jesus says to them, How many loaves have ye?
But they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
|
|
| 35 And he commanded the crowds to lie down on the ground; |
|
| 36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd. |
|
| 37 And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was over and above of the fragments seven baskets full; |
|
| 38 but they that ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. |
|
| 39 And, having dismissed the crowds, he went on board ship and came to the borders of Magadan. |
