1. Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem. They asked him,
|
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 don't your followers obey the unwritten laws which have been handed down to us? They don't wash their hands before they eat."
|
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. Jesus answered, "And why do you refuse to obey God's command so that you can follow your own teachings?
|
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. God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death.'
|
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 you say a person can tell his father or mother, 'I have something I could use to help you, but I have given it to God already.'
|
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. You teach that person not to honor his father or his mother. You rejected what God said for the sake of your own rules.
|
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. You are hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he said about you:
|
7. Ye hypocrites G5273 , well G2573 did Isaiah G2268 prophesy G4395 of G4012 you G5216 , saying G3004 ,
|
|
8. 'These people show honor to me with words, but their hearts are far from me.
|
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. Their worship of me is worthless. The things they teach are nothing but human rules.'"
|
9. But G1161 in vain G3155 they do worship G4576 me G3165 , teaching G1321 for doctrines G1319 the commandments G1778 of men G444 .
|
|
10. After Jesus called the crowd to him, he said, "Listen and understand what I am saying.
|
10. And G2532 he called G4341 the G3588 multitude G3793 , and said G2036 unto them G846 , Hear G191 , and G2532 understand G4920 :
|
|
11. It is not what people put into their mouths that makes them unclean. It is what comes out of their mouths that makes them unclean."
|
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 his followers came to him and asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees are angry because of what you said?"
|
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. Jesus answered, "Every plant that my Father in heaven has not planted himself will be pulled up by the roots.
|
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. Stay away from the Pharisees; they are blind leaders. And if a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a ditch."
|
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. Peter said, "Explain the example to us."
|
15. Then G1161 answered G611 Peter G4074 and said G2036 unto him G846 , Declare G5419 unto us G2254 this G5026 parable G3850 .
|
|
16. Jesus said, "Do you still not understand?
|
16. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 , Are G2075 ye G5210 also G2532 yet G188 without understanding G801 ?
|
|
17. Surely you know that all the food that enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then goes out of the body.
|
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 what people say with their mouths comes from the way they think; these are the things that make people unclean.
|
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. Out of the mind come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual sins, stealing, lying, and speaking evil of others.
|
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 things make people unclean; eating with unwashed hands does not make them unclean."
|
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. Jesus left that place and went to the area of Tyre and Sidon.
|
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. A Canaanite woman from that area came to Jesus and cried out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter has a demon, and she is suffering very much."
|
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 Jesus did not answer the woman. So his followers came to Jesus and begged him, "Tell the woman to go away. She is following us and shouting."
|
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. Jesus answered, "God sent me only to the lost sheep, the people of Israel."
|
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 the woman came to Jesus again and bowed before him and said, "Lord, help me!"
|
25. Then G1161 came G2064 she G3588 and worshiped G4352 him G846 , saying G3004 , Lord G2962 , help G997 me G3427 .
|
|
26. Jesus answered, "It is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs."
|
26. But G1161 he G3588 answered G611 and said G2036 , It is G2076 not G3756 meet G2570 to take G2983 the G3588 children G5043 's bread G740 , and G2532 to cast G906 it to dogs G2952 .
|
|
27. The woman said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
|
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 Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! I will do what you asked." And at that moment the woman's daughter was healed.
|
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. After leaving there, Jesus went along the shore of Lake Galilee. He went up on a hill and sat there.
|
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. Great crowds came to Jesus, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, those who could not speak, and many others. They put them at Jesus' feet, and he healed them.
|
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. The crowd was amazed when they saw that people who could not speak before were now able to speak. The crippled were made strong. The lame could walk, and the blind could see. And they praised the God of Israel for this.
|
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. Jesus called his followers to him and said, "I feel sorry for these people, because they have already been with me three days, and they have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry. They might faint while going home."
|
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. His followers asked him, "How can we get enough bread to feed all these people? We are far away from any town."
|
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. Jesus asked, "How many loaves of bread do you have?" They answered, "Seven, and a few small fish."
|
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. Jesus told the people to sit on the ground.
|
35. And G2532 he commanded G2753 the G3588 multitude G3793 to sit down G377 on G1909 the G3588 ground G1093 .
|
|
36. He took the seven loaves of bread and the fish and gave thanks to God. Then he divided the food and gave it to his followers, and they gave it to the people.
|
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. All the people ate and were satisfied. Then his followers filled seven baskets with the leftover pieces of food.
|
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. There were about four thousand men there who ate, besides women and children.
|
38. And G1161 they that did eat G2068 were G2258 four thousand G5070 men G435 , beside G5565 women G1135 and G2532 children G3813 .
|
|
39. After sending the people home, Jesus got into the boat and went to the area of Magadan.
|
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 .
