1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,1Then Pharisees and experts in the law came from Jerusalem to Jesus and said,
2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.2"Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat."
3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?3He answered them, "And why do you disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.4For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Whoever insults his father or mother must be put to death.'
5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;5But you say, 'If someone tells his father or mother, "Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God,"
6And 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.6he does not need to honor his father.' You have nullified the word of God on account of your tradition.
7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,7Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said,
8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.8This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me,
9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.9and they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:10Then he called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand.
11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.11What defiles a person is not what goes into the mouth; it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a person."
12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?12Then the disciples came to him and said, "Do you know that when the Pharisees heard this saying they were offended?"
13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.13And he replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.14Leave them! They are blind guides. If someone who is blind leads another who is blind, both will fall into a pit."
15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.15But Peter said to him, "Explain this parable to us."
16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?16Jesus said, "Even after all this, are you still so foolish?
17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?17Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach and then passes out into the sewer?
18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a person.
19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:19For out of the heart come evil ideas, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.20These are the things that defile a person; it is not eating with unwashed hands that defiles a person."
21Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.21After going out from there, Jesus went to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22And, 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.22A Canaanite woman from that area came and cried out, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is horribly demon-possessed!"
23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.23But he did not answer her a word. Then his disciples came and begged him, "Send her away, because she keeps on crying out after us."
24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.24So he answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.25But she came and bowed down before him and said, "Lord, help me!"
26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.26"It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs," he said.
27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.27"Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
28Then 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.28Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, your faith is great! Let what you want be done for you." And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.29When he left there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up a mountain, where he sat down.
30And 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:30Then large crowds came to him bringing with them the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others. They laid them at his feet, and he healed them.
31Insomuch 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.31As a result, the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.
32Then 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.32Then Jesus called the disciples and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days and they have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry since they may faint on the way."
33And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?33The disciples said to him, "Where can we get enough bread in this desolate place to satisfy so great a crowd?"
34And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.34Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They replied, "Seven--and a few small fish."
35And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.35After instructing the crowd to sit down on the ground,
36And 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.36he took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples, who then gave them to the crowds.
37And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.37They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
38And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.38Not counting children and women, there were four thousand men who ate.
39And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.39After sending away the crowd, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
