¹ Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

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

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

⁴ For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

⁵ But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

⁶ And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

⁷ Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

⁸ This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth 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.

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

¹¹ Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

¹² Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

¹³ But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

¹⁴ Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

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

¹⁶ And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

¹⁷ Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

¹⁸ But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

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

²⁰ These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

²¹ Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

²² And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

²³ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

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

²⁵ Then came she 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.

²⁷ And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

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

²⁹ And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

³⁰ And great multitudes came unto 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:

³¹ Insomuch 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.

³² Then Jesus called his disciples unto 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.

³³ And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

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

³⁵ And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

³⁶ And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

³⁷ And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

³⁸ And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

³⁹ And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

¹ Then ^G5119 came ^G4334 to Jesus ^G2424 scribes ^G1122 and ^G2532 Pharisees, ^G5330 which were of ^G575 Jerusalem, ^G2414 saying, ^G3004

² Why ^G1302 do thy ^G4675 disciples ^G3101 transgress ^G3845 the tradition ^G3862 of the elders? ^G4245 for ^G1063 they wash ^G3538 not ^G3756 their ^G846 hands ^G5495 when ^G3752 they eat ^G2068 bread. ^G740

³ But ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Why ^G1302 do ye ^G5210 also ^G2532 transgress ^G3845 the commandment ^G1785 of God ^G2316 by ^G1223 your ^G5216 tradition? ^G3862

⁴ For ^G1063 God ^G2316 commanded, ^G1781 saying, ^G3004 Honour ^G5091 thy ^G4675 father ^G3962 and ^G2532 mother: ^G3384 and, ^G2532 He that curseth ^G2551 father ^G3962 or ^G2228 mother, ^G3384 let him die ^G5053 the death. ^G2288

⁵ But ^G1161 ye ^G5210 say, ^G3004 Whosoever ^{G3739 G302} shall say ^G2036 to his father ^G3962 or ^G2228 his mother, ^G3384 It is a gift, ^G1435 by ^G1537 whatsoever ^{G3739 G1437} thou mightest be profited ^G5623 by me; ^G1700

⁶ And ^G2532 honour ^G5091 not ^G3364 his ^G846 father ^G3962 or ^G2228 his ^G846 mother, ^G3384 he shall be free. Thus ^G2532 have ye made ^G208 the commandment ^G1785 of God ^G2316 of none effect ^G208 by ^G1223 your ^G5216 tradition. ^G3862

⁷ Ye hypocrites, ^G5273 well ^G2573 did ^G4395 Esaias ^G2268 prophesy ^G4395 of ^G4012 you, ^G5216 saying, ^G3004

⁸ This ^G3778 people ^G2992 draweth nigh ^G1448 unto me ^G3427 with their ^G846 mouth, ^G4750 and ^G2532 honoureth ^G5091 me ^G3165 with their lips; ^G5491 but ^G1161 their ^G846 heart ^G2588 is ^G568 far ^G4206 from ^G575 me. ^G1700

⁹ But ^G1161 in vain ^G3155 they do worship ^G4576 me, ^G3165 teaching ^G1321 for doctrines ^G1319 the commandments ^G1778 of men. ^G444

¹⁰ And ^G2532 he called ^G4341 the multitude, ^G3793 and said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Hear, ^G191 and ^G2532 understand ^G4920 :

¹¹ Not ^G3756 that which goeth ^G1525 into ^G1519 the mouth ^G4750 defileth ^G2840 a man; ^G444 but ^G235 that which cometh ^G1607 out of ^G1537 the mouth, ^G4750 this ^G5124 defileth ^G2840 a man. ^G444

¹² Then ^G5119 came ^G4334 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 and said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Knowest thou ^G1492 that ^G3754 the Pharisees ^G5330 were offended, ^G4624 after they heard ^G191 this saying? ^G3056

¹³ But ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said, ^G2036 Every ^G3956 plant, ^G5451 which ^G3739 my ^G3450 heavenly ^G3770 Father ^G3962 hath ^G5452 not ^G3756 planted, ^G5452 shall be rooted up. ^G1610

¹⁴ Let ^G863 them ^G846 alone: ^G863 they be ^G1526 blind ^G5185 leaders ^G3595 of the blind. ^G5185 And ^G1161 if ^G1437 the blind ^G5185 lead ^G3594 the blind, ^G5185 both ^G297 shall fall ^G4098 into ^G1519 the ditch. ^G999

¹⁵ Then ^G1161 answered ^G611 Peter ^G4074 and said ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 Declare ^G5419 unto us ^G2254 this ^G5026 parable. ^G3850

¹⁶ And ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 said, ^G2036 Are ^G2075 ye ^G5210 also ^G2532 yet ^G188 without understanding? ^G801

¹⁷ Do ^G3539 not ^G3768 ye ^G3539 yet ^G3768 understand, ^G3539 that ^G3754 whatsoever ^G3956 entereth in ^G1531 at ^G1519 the mouth ^G4750 goeth ^G5562 into ^G1519 the belly, ^G2836 and ^G2532 is cast out ^G1544 into ^G1519 the draught? ^G856

¹⁸ But ^G1161 those things which ^G3588 proceed ^G1607 out of ^G1537 the mouth ^G4750 come forth ^G1831 from ^G1537 the heart; ^G2588 and they ^G2548 defile ^G2840 the man. ^G444

¹⁹ For ^G1063 out of ^G1537 the heart ^G2588 proceed ^G1831 evil ^G4190 thoughts, ^G1261 murders, ^G5408 adulteries, ^G3430 fornications, ^G4202 thefts, ^G2829 false witness, ^G5577 blasphemies: ^G988

²⁰ These ^G5023 are ^G2076 the things which ^G3588 defile ^G2840 a man: ^G444 but ^G1161 to eat ^G5315 with unwashen ^G449 hands ^G5495 defileth ^G2840 not ^G3756 a man. ^G444

²¹ Then ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 went ^G1831 thence, ^G1564 and departed ^G402 into ^G1519 the coasts ^G3313 of Tyre ^G5184 and ^G2532 Sidon. ^G4605

²² And, ^G2532 behold, ^G2400 a woman ^G1135 of Canaan ^G5478 came ^G1831 out of ^G575 the same ^G1565 coasts, ^G3725 and cried ^G2905 unto him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Have mercy ^G1653 on me, ^G3165 O Lord, ^G2962 thou Son ^G5207 of David; ^G1138 my ^G3450 daughter ^G2364 is grievously ^G2560 vexed with a devil. ^G1139

²³ But ^G1161 he answered ^G611 her ^G846 not ^G3756 a word. ^G3056 And ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 came ^G4334 and besought ^G2065 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Send ^G630 her ^G846 away; ^G630 for ^G3754 she crieth ^G2896 after ^G3693 us. ^G2257

²⁴ But ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said, ^G2036 I am ^G649 not ^G3756 sent ^G649 but ^G1508 unto ^G1519 the lost ^G622 sheep ^G4263 of the house ^G3624 of Israel. ^G2474

²⁵ Then ^G1161 came she ^G2064 and worshipped ^G4352 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Lord, ^G2962 help ^G997 me. ^G3427

²⁶ But ^G1161 he answered ^G611 and said, ^G2036 It is ^G2076 not ^G3756 meet ^G2570 to take ^G2983 the children's ^G5043 bread, ^G740 and ^G2532 to cast ^G906 it to dogs. ^G2952

²⁷ And ^G1161 she said, ^G2036 Truth, ^G3483 Lord: ^G2962 yet ^{G2532 G1063} the dogs ^G2952 eat ^G2068 of ^G575 the crumbs ^G5589 which ^G3588 fall ^G4098 from ^G575 their ^G846 masters' ^G2962 table. ^G5132

²⁸ Then ^G5119 Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and said ^G2036 unto her, ^G846 O ^G5599 woman, ^G1135 great ^G3173 is thy ^G4675 faith: ^G4102 be it ^G1096 unto thee ^G4671 even as ^G5613 thou wilt. ^G2309 And ^G2532 her ^G846 daughter ^G2364 was made whole ^G2390 from ^G575 that very ^G1565 hour. ^G5610

²⁹ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 departed ^G3327 from thence, ^G1564 and came ^G2064 nigh unto ^G3844 the sea ^G2281 of Galilee; ^G1056 and ^G2532 went up ^G305 into ^G1519 a mountain, ^G3735 and sat down ^G2521 there. ^G1563

³⁰ And ^G2532 great ^G4183 multitudes ^G3793 came ^G4334 unto him, ^G846 having ^G2192 with ^G3326 them those that were ^G1438 lame, ^G5560 blind, ^G5185 dumb, ^G2974 maimed, ^G2948 and ^G2532 many ^G4183 others, ^G2087 and ^G2532 cast ^G4496 them ^G846 down ^G4496 at ^G3844 Jesus' ^G2424 feet; ^G4228 and ^G2532 he healed ^G2323 them: ^G846

³¹ Insomuch that ^G5620 the multitude ^G3793 wondered, ^G2296 when they saw ^G991 the dumb ^G2974 to speak, ^G2980 the maimed ^G2948 to be whole, ^G5199 the lame ^G5560 to walk, ^G4043 and ^G2532 the blind ^G5185 to see: ^G991 and ^G2532 they glorified ^G1392 the God ^G2316 of Israel. ^G2474

³² Then ^G1161 Jesus ^G2424 called ^G4341 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 unto him, and said, ^G2036 I have compassion ^G4697 on ^G1909 the multitude, ^G3793 because ^G3754 they continue ^G4357 with me ^G3427 now ^G2235 three ^G5140 days, ^G2250 and ^G2532 have ^G2192 nothing ^{G3756 G5101} to eat: ^G5315 and ^G2532 I will ^G2309 not ^G3756 send ^G630 them ^G846 away ^G630 fasting, ^G3523 lest ^G3379 they faint ^G1590 in ^G1722 the way. ^G3598

³³ And ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 say ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Whence ^G4159 should we ^G2254 have so much ^G5118 bread ^G740 in ^G1722 the wilderness, ^G2047 as ^G5620 to fill ^G5526 so great ^G5118 a multitude? ^G3793

³⁴ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 How many ^G4214 loaves ^G740 have ye? ^G2192 And ^G1161 they said, ^G2036 Seven, ^G2033 and ^G2532 a few ^G3641 little fishes. ^G2485

³⁵ And ^G2532 he commanded ^G2753 the multitude ^G3793 to sit down ^G377 on ^G1909 the ground. ^G1093

³⁶ And ^G2532 he took ^G2983 the seven ^G2033 loaves ^G740 and ^G2532 the fishes, ^G2486 and gave thanks, ^G2168 and brake ^G2806 them, and ^G2532 gave ^G1325 to his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 and ^G1161 the disciples ^G3101 to the multitude. ^G3793

³⁷ And ^G2532 they did ^G5315 all ^G3956 eat, ^G5315 and ^G2532 were filled: ^G5526 and ^G2532 they took up ^G142 of the broken ^G2801 meat that was left ^G4052 seven ^G2033 baskets ^G4711 full. ^G4134

³⁸ And ^G1161 they that did eat ^G2068 were ^G2258 four thousand ^G5070 men, ^G435 beside ^G5565 women ^G1135 and ^G2532 children. ^G3813

³⁹ And ^G2532 he sent away ^G630 the multitude, ^G3793 and took ^G1684 ship, ^{G1519 G4143} and ^G2532 came ^G2064 into ^G1519 the coasts ^G3725 of Magdala. ^G3093

---

¹ Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,

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

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

⁴ For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.

⁵ But ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given `to God';

⁶ he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.

⁷ Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

⁸ This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

⁹ But in vain do they worship me, Teaching `as their' doctrines the precepts of men.

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

¹¹ Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

¹² Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?

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

¹⁴ Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

¹⁵ And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.

¹⁶ And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?

¹⁷ Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

¹⁸ But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:

²⁰ these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.

²¹ And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.

²² And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with 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.

²⁴ But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

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

²⁶ And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

²⁷ But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

²⁸ Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

²⁹ And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

³⁰ And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at this feet; and he healed them:

³¹ insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.

³² And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way.

³³ And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?

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

³⁵ And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

³⁶ and he took the seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

³⁷ And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

³⁸ And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.

³⁹ And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.

---

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

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

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

⁴ 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 but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering `is' whatever thou mayest be profited by me; --

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

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

⁸ 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 and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings -- commands of men.'

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

¹¹ 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 Then his disciples having come near, said to him, `Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'

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

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

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

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

¹⁷ 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 but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;

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

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

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

²² 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 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 and he answering said, `I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'

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

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

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

²⁸ then answering, Jesus said to her, `O woman, great `is' thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

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

³⁰ 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 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 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 And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?'

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

³⁵ And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

³⁶ 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 And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,

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

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

---

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.

¹ Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

² "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

³ He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

⁴ For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

⁵ But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"

⁶ he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

⁷ You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

⁸ 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, And honor me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

⁹ And in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"

¹⁰ He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.

¹¹ That which enters into the mouth doesn't defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

¹² Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"

¹³ But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

¹⁴ Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

¹⁵ Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

¹⁶ So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand?

¹⁷ Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

¹⁸ But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

²⁰ These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."

²¹ Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

²² Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely demonized!"

²³ But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

²⁴ But he answered, "I wasn't sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

²⁵ But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."

²⁶ But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

²⁷ But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

²⁸ Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

²⁹ Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

³⁰ Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

³¹ so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing--and they glorified the God of Israel.

³² Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."

³³ The disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?"

³⁴ Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

³⁵ He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

³⁶ and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

³⁷ They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

³⁸ Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

³⁹ Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

¹ Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,

² Why do your disciples go against the teaching of the fathers? for they take food with unwashed hands.

³ And in answer he said to them, Why do you, yourselves, go against the word of God on account of the teaching which has been handed down to you?

⁴ For God said, Give honour to your father and mother: and, He who says evil of father or mother will be put to death.

⁵ But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

⁶ There is no need for him to give honour to his father. And you have made the word of God without effect because of your teaching.

⁷ You false ones, well did Isaiah say of you,

⁸ These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

⁹ But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

¹⁰ And he got the people together and said to them, Give ear, and let my words be clear to you:

¹¹ Not that which goes into the mouth makes a man unclean, but that which comes out of the mouth.

¹² Then the disciples came and said to him, Did you see that the Pharisees were troubled when these words came to their ears?

¹³ But he said in answer, Every plant which my Father in heaven has not put in the earth, will be taken up by the roots.

¹⁴ Let them be: they are blind guides. And if a blind man is guiding a blind man, the two will go falling into a hole together.

¹⁵ Then Peter said to him, Make the story clear to us.

¹⁶ And he said, Are you, like them, still without wisdom?

¹⁷ Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth goes on into the stomach, and is sent out as waste?

¹⁸ But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart; and they make a man unclean.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, the taking of life, broken faith between the married, unclean desires of the flesh, taking of property, false witness, bitter words:

²⁰ These are the things which make a man unclean; but to take food with unwashed hands does not make a man unclean.

²¹ And Jesus went away from there into the country of Tyre and Sidon.

²² And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.

²³ But he gave her no answer. And his disciples came and said to him, Send her away, for she is crying after us.

²⁴ But he made answer and said, I was sent only to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel.

²⁵ But she came and gave him worship, saying, Help, Lord.

²⁶ And he made answer and said, It is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.

²⁷ But she said, Yes, Lord: but even the dogs take the bits from under their masters' table.

²⁸ Then Jesus, answering, said to her, O woman, great is your faith: let your desire be done. And her daughter was made well from that hour.

²⁹ And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat there.

³⁰ And there came to him great numbers of people having with them those who were broken in body, or blind, or without voice, or wounded, or ill in any way, and a number of others; they put them down at his feet and he made them well:

³¹ So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

³² And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey.

³³ And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people?

³⁴ And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes.

³⁵ Then he gave an order to the people to be seated on the earth,

³⁶ And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

³⁷ And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.

³⁸ And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.

³⁹ And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.
