Matthew 15:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus. They came from Jerusalem and asked him,
2 "Why do your followers not obey the traditions we have from our great leaders who lived long ago? Your followers don't wash their hands before they eat!"
3 Jesus answered, "And why do you refuse to obey God's command so that you can follow those traditions you have?
4 God said, 'You must respect your father and mother.' And God also said, 'Whoever says anything bad to their father or mother must be killed.'
5 But you teach that a person can say to their father or mother, 'I have something I could use to help you. But I will not use it for you. I will give it to God.'
6 You are teaching them not to respect their father. So you are teaching that it is not important to do what God said. You think it is more important to follow those traditions you have.
7 You are hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he spoke for God about you:
8 'These people honor me with their words, but I am not really important to them.
9 Their worship of me is worthless. The things they teach are only human rules.'"
10 Jesus called the people to him. He said, "Listen and understand what I am saying.
11 It is not what people put in their mouth that makes them wrong. It is what comes out of their mouth that makes them wrong."
12 Then the followers came to Jesus and asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees are upset about what you said?"
13 Jesus answered, "Every plant that my Father in heaven has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.
14 Stay away from the Pharisees. They lead the people, but they are like blind men leading other blind men. And if a blind man leads another blind man, both of them will fall into a ditch."
15 Peter said, "Explain to us what you said earlier to the people."
16 Jesus said, "Do you still have trouble understanding?
17 Surely you know that all the food that enters the mouth goes into the stomach. Then it goes out of the body.
18 But the bad things people say with their mouth come from the way they think. And that's what can make people wrong.
19 All these bad things begin in the mind: evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual sins, stealing, lying, and insulting people.
20 These are the things that make people wrong. Eating without washing their hands will never make people unacceptable to God."
21 Jesus went from there to the area of Tyre and Sidon.
22 A Canaanite woman from that area came out and began shouting, "Lord, Son of David, please help me! My daughter has a demon inside her, and she is suffering very much."
23 But Jesus did not answer her. So the followers came to him and said, "Tell her to go away. She keeps crying out and will not leave us alone."
24 Jesus answered, "God sent me only to the lost people of Israel. "
25 Then the woman came over to Jesus and bowed before him. She said, "Lord, help me!"
26 He answered her with this saying: "It is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs."
27 The woman said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the pieces of food that fall from their master's table."
28 Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! You will get what you asked for." And right then the woman's daughter was healed.
29 Then Jesus went from there to the shore of Lake Galilee. He went up on a hill and sat down.
30 A large crowd of people came to him. They brought many other sick people and put them before him. There were people who could not walk, people who were blind, crippled, or deaf, and many others. Jesus healed them all.
31 People were amazed when they saw that those who could not speak were now able to speak. Crippled people were made strong. Those who could not walk were now able to walk. The blind were able to see. Everyone thanked the God of Israel for this.
32 Jesus called his followers to him and said, "I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me three days, and now they have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry. They might faint while going home."
33 The followers asked Jesus, "Where can we get enough bread to feed all these people? We are a long way from any town."
34 Jesus asked, "How many loaves of bread do you have?" They answered, "We have seven loaves of bread and a few small fish."
35 Jesus told the people to sit on the ground.
36 He took the seven loaves of bread and the fish. Then he gave thanks to God for the food. He broke the bread into pieces, which he gave to the followers, and they gave the food to the people.
37 All the people ate until they were full. After this, the followers filled seven baskets with the pieces of food that were not eaten.
38 There were about 4000 men there who ate. There were also some women and children.
39 After they all ate, Jesus told the people they could go home. He got into the boat and went to the area of Magadan.
1 Then G5119 came G4334 to Jesus G2424 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees, G5330 which G3588 were of G575 Jerusalem, G2414 saying, G3004
2 Why G1302 do thy G4675 disciples G3101 transgress G3845 the G3588 tradition G3862 of the G3588 elders G4245 ? for G1063 they wash G3538 not G3756 their G848 hands G5495 when G3752 they eat G2068 bread. G740
3 But G1161 he G3588 answered G611 and said G2036 unto them, G846 Why G1302 do ye G5210 also G2532 transgress G3845 the G3588 commandment G1785 of God G2316 by G1223 your G5216 tradition G3862 ?
4 For G1063 God G2316 commanded, G1781 saying, G3004 Honor 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 whatsoever G3739 G1437 thou mightest be profited G5623 by G1537 me; G1700
6 And G2532 honor G5091 not G3364 his G848 father G3962 or G2228 his G848 mother, G3384 he shall be free. Thus G2532 have ye made the commandment of God of none effect G208 G3588 G1785 G2316 by G1223 your G5216 tradition. G3862
7 Ye hypocrites, G5273 well G2573 did Isaiah G2268 prophesy G4395 of G4012 you, G5216 saying, G3004
8 This G3778 people G2992 draweth nigh G1448 unto me G3427 with their G848 mouth, G4750 and G2532 honoreth 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 G3588 multitude, G3793 and said G2036 unto them, G846 Hear, G191 and G2532 understand: G4920
11 Not G3756 that which goeth G1525 into G1519 the G3588 mouth G4750 defileth G2840 a man; G444 but G235 that which cometh G1607 out G1537 of the G3588 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 G1492 thou that G3754 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 were offended, G4624 after they heard G191 this saying G3056 ?
13 But G1161 he G3588 answered G611 and said, G2036 Every G3956 plant, G5451 which G3739 my G3450 heavenly G3770 Father G3962 hath not G3756 planted, G5452 shall be rooted up. G1610
14 Let them alone G863 G846 : 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 not ye yet G3768 understand, G3539 that G3754 whatsoever G3956 entereth G1531 in G1519 at the G3588 mouth G4750 goeth G5562 into G1519 the G3588 belly, G2836 and G2532 is cast out G1544 into G1519 the draught G856 ?
18 But G1161 those things which proceed G1607 out of G1537 the G3588 mouth G4750 come forth G1831 from G1537 the G3588 heart; G2588 and they G2548 defile G2840 the G3588 man. G444
19 For G1063 out G1537 of the G3588 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 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 G3588 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 G3588 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 G3588 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 her away G630 G846 ; for G3754 she crieth G2896 after G3693 us. G2257
24 But G1161 he G3588 answered G611 and said, G2036 I am not G3756 sent G649 but G1508 unto G1519 the lost G622 sheep G4263 of the house G3624 of Israel. G2474
25 Then G1161 came G2064 she G3588 and worshiped G4352 him, G846 saying, G3004 Lord, G2962 help G997 me. G3427
26 But G1161 he G3588 answered G611 and said, G2036 It is G2076 not G3756 meet G2570 to take G2983 the G3588 children's G5043 bread, G740 and G2532 to cast G906 it to dogs. G2952
27 And G1161 she G3588 said, G2036 Truth, G3483 Lord: G2962 yet G1063 the G3588 dogs G2952 eat G2068 of G575 the G3588 crumbs G5589 which fall G4098 from G575 their G848 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 G1096 it unto thee G4671 even as G5613 thou wilt. And G2532 G2309 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 G3588 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 G1438 those that were lame, G5560 blind, G5185 dumb, G2974 maimed, G2948 and G2532 many G4183 others, G2087 and G2532 cast them down G4496 G846 at G3844 Jesus' G2424 feet; G4228 and G2532 he healed G2323 them: G846
31 Insomuch that G5620 the G3588 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 G3588 God G2316 of Israel. G2474
32 Then G1161 Jesus G2424 called G4341 his G848 disciples G3101 unto him, and said, G2036 I have compassion G4697 on G1909 the G3588 multitude, G3793 because G3754 they continue with G4357 me G3427 now G2235 three G5140 days, G2250 and G2532 have G2192 nothing G5101 G3756 to eat: G5315 and G2532 I will G2309 not G3756 send them away G630 G846 fasting, G3523 lest G3379 they faint G1590 in G1722 the G3588 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 G2192 ye? And G1161 they G3588 said, G2036 Seven, G2033 and G2532 a few G3641 little fishes. G2485
35 And G2532 he commanded G2753 the G3588 multitude G3793 to sit down G377 on G1909 the G3588 ground. G1093
36 And G2532 he took G2983 the G3588 seven G2033 loaves G740 and G2532 the G3588 fishes, G2486 and G2532 gave thanks, G2168 and broke G2806 them, and G2532 gave G1325 to his G848 disciples, G3101 and G1161 the G3588 disciples G3101 to the G3588 multitude. G3793
37 And G2532 they did all G3956 eat, G5315 and G2532 were filled: G5526 and G2532 they took up G142 of the G3588 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 G3588 multitude, G3793 and took ship G1684 G1519, G4143 and G2532 came G2064 into G1519 the G3588 coasts G3725 of Magdala. G3093
