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 Siis tuli varisere ja kirjatundjaid Jeruusalemast Jeesuse juure ja need ütlesid:

2 „Miks Sinu jüngrid rikuvad vanemate pärimust? Sest nad ei pese käsi, kui nad hakkavad leiba võtma."

3 Aga Tema kostis ja ütles neile: „Miks te ise rikute Jumala käsku oma pärimuse pärast?

4 Sest Jumal on ütelnud: Sa pead oma isa ja ema austama, ja kes isa või ema neab, peab surma surema!

5 Kuid teie ütlete: Kes iganes isale või emale ütleb: Ohvrianniks läheb see, mis sul iganes on õigus minult saada!

6 see ei tarvitse oma isa või ema austada. Sellega te olete Jumala sõna tühjaks teinud oma pärimuse pärast.

7 Te silmakirjatsejad, Jesaja on teist õigesti ennustanud, üteldes:

8 See rahvas austab Mind oma huultega, aga nende süda on Minust kaugel;

9 ilmaaegu teenivad nad Mind, õpetades õpetusi, mis on inimeste käskimised!"

10 Ja Ta kutsus rahva Enese juure ning ütles neile: „Kuulge ja mõistke!

11 Mitte see, mis suust sisse läheb, ei rüveta inimest, vaid see, mis suust väljub, rüvetab inimest."

12 Siis astusid Tema jüngrid Ta juure ja ütlesid Temale: „Kas Sa tead, et variserid pahandusid kuuldes seda sõna?"

13 Aga Tema kostis ning ütles: „Iga taim, mida Mu taevane Isa pole istutanud, kistakse välja.

14 Jätke nad! Nad on pimedate pimedad teejuhid. Aga kui pime pimedat juhib, langevad mõlemad auku!"

15 Siis kostis Peetrus ja ütles Temale: „Seleta meile see võrdum!"

16 Jeesus ütles: „Kas teiegi veel ei saa aru?

17 Eks te mõista, et kõik, mis suust sisse läheb, läheb kõhtu ja väljub eri paika.

18 Aga mis suust väljub, see lähtub südamest ja see rüvetab inimese.

19 Sest südamest lähtub kurje mõtteid, mõrvu, abielurikkumisi, hoorust, vargusi, valetunnistusi, jumalapilget.

20 Need on, mis rüvetavad inimese; kuid pesemata kätega söömine ei rüveta inimest."

21 Ja Jeesus tuli sealt ära ning läks Tüürose ja Siidoni rajadesse.

22 Ja vaata, neist paigust väljus Kaananea naine; see kisendas ning ütles Talle: „Issand, Taaveti poeg, halasta mu peale! Mu tütart vaevab kuri vaim hirmsasti.

23 Aga Ta ei vastanud temale sõnagi. Siis Tema jüngrid astusid Ta juure, palusid Teda ning ütlesid: „Saada ta ära, sest ta kisendab meie taga!"

24 Ent Tema kostis ning ütles: „Mind ei ole läkitatud muude kui Iisraeli soo kadunud lammaste juure!"

25 Kuid naine tuli, kummardas Teda ning ütles: „Issand, aita mind!"

26 Aga Tema kostis ning ütles: „Ei ole ilus võtta laste leib ja heita koerukeste ette!"

27 siis ütles naine: „Jah, Issand, ometigi söövad koerukesed raasukesi, mis nende isandate laualt langevad!"

28 Siis kostis Jeesus ning ütles temale: „Oh naine, su usk on suur! Sulle sündigu nõnda, kuidas sa tahad!" Ja Tema tütar sai terveks sestsamast tunnist.

29 Ja Jeesus läks sealt ära ja tuli Galilea mere ääre; ja Ta läks mäele ja istus sinna.

30 Ja Tema juure tuli palju rahvast, tuues enesega ühes jalutumaid, vigaseid, pimedaid, keeletumaid ja palju teisi; ja nad heitsid need Tema jalge ette. Ja Ta tegi nad terveks,

31 nii et rahvas pani imeks, nähes keeletumaid rääkivat, vigaseid olevat terved, jalutumaid käivat ja pimedaid nägevat. Ja nad andsid au Iisraeli Jumalale.

32

33 Siis ütlesid Ta jüngrid Temale: „Kust me võtame kõrves nii palju leibu, et nii hulga rahva kõhud täita?"

34 Ja Jeesus ütles neile: „Mitu leiba teil on?" Nad vastasid: „Seitse, ja pisut kalukesi."

35 Siis Ta käskis rahva maha istuda.

36 Ja Ta võttis need seitse leiba ja kalad, tänas, murdis ning andis jüngrite kätte, ja jüngrid andsid rahvale.

37 Ja kõik sõid, ja nende kõhud said täis; ja nad korjasid kokku ülejäänud palukesi seitse korvitäit.

38 Ent neid, kes olid söönud, oli neli tuhat meest peale naiste ja laste.

39 Ja kui Ta oli lasknud rahva ära minna, läks Ta paati ja tuli Magdala maa-alale.
