1 Alors des Scribes et des Pharisiens vinrent de Jérusalem à Jésus, et lui dirent :
2 Pourquoi tes Disciples transgressent-ils la tradition des Anciens? car ils ne lavent point leurs mains quand ils prennent leur repas.
3 Mais il répondit, et leur dit : et vous, pourquoi transgressez-vous le commandement de Dieu par votre tradition?
4 Car Dieu a commandé, disant : honore ton père et ta mère. Et [il a dit aussi] : que celui qui maudira son père ou sa mère, meure de mort.
5 Mais vous dites : quiconque aura dit à son père ou à sa mère : [Tout] don qui [sera offert] de par moi, sera à ton profit;
6 Encore qu'il n'honore pas son père, ou sa mère, [il ne sera point coupable]; et ainsi vous avez anéanti le commandement de Dieu par votre tradition.
7 Hypocrites, Esaïe a bien prophétisé de vous, en disant :
8 Ce peuple s'approche de moi de sa bouche, et m'honore de ses lèvres; mais leur cœur est fort éloigné de moi.
9 Mais ils m'honorent en vain, enseignant des doctrines [qui ne sont que] des commandements d'hommes.
10 Puis ayant appelé les troupes, il leur dit : écoutez, et comprenez [ceci].
11 Ce n'est pas ce qui entre dans la bouche qui souille l'homme; mais ce qui sort de la bouche c'est ce qui souille l'homme.
12 Sur cela les Disciples s'approchant, lui dirent : n'as-tu pas connu que les Pharisiens ont été scandalisés quand ils ont ouï ce discours?
13 Et il répondit, et dit : toute plante que mon Père céleste n'a pas plantée, sera déracinée.
14 Laissez-les, ce sont des aveugles, conducteurs d'aveugles; si un aveugle conduit un [autre] aveugle, ils tomberont tous deux dans la fosse.
15 Alors Pierre prenant la parole, lui dit : explique-nous cette similitude.
16 Et Jésus dit : êtes-vous encore, vous aussi, sans intelligence?
17 N'entendez-vous pas encore que tout ce qui entre dans la bouche descend dans l'estomac et ensuite est jeté au secret?
18 Mais les choses qui sortent de la bouche partent du cœur, et ces choses-là souillent l'homme.
19 Car du cœur sortent les mauvaises pensées, les meurtres, les adultères, les fornications, les larcins, les faux témoignages, les médisances.
20 Ce sont là les choses qui souillent l'homme; mais de manger sans avoir les mains lavées, cela ne souille point l'homme.
21 Alors Jésus partant de là se retira vers les quartiers de Tyr et de Sidon.
22 Et voici, une femme Cananéenne, qui était partie de ces quartiers-là, s'écria, en lui disant : Seigneur! Fils de David, aie pitié de moi! ma fille est misérablement tourmentée d'un démon.
23 Mais il ne lui répondit mot; et ses Disciples s'approchant le prièrent, disant : renvoie-la; car elle crie après nous.
24 Et il répondit, et dit : je ne suis envoyé qu'aux brebis perdues de la maison d'Israël.
25 Mais elle vint, et l'adora, disant : Seigneur, assiste-moi!
26 Et il lui répondit, et dit : il ne convient pas de prendre le pain des enfants, et de le jeter aux petits chiens.
27 Mais elle dit : cela est vrai, Seigneur! cependant les petits chiens mangent des miettes qui tombent de la table de leurs maîtres.
28 Alors Jésus répondant, lui dit : Ô femme! ta foi est grande; qu'il te soit fait comme tu le souhaites : et dès ce moment-là sa fille fut guérie.
29 Et Jésus partant de là vint près de la mer de Galilée; puis il monta sur une montagne, et s'assit là.
30 Et plusieurs troupes de gens vinrent à lui, ayant avec eux des boiteux, des aveugles, des muets, des manchots, et plusieurs autres; lesquels on mit aux pieds de Jésus, et il les guérit.
31 De sorte que ces troupes s'étonnèrent de voir les muets parler, les manchots être sains, les boiteux marcher, et les aveugles voir; et elles glorifièrent le Dieu d'Israël.
32 Alors Jésus ayant appelé ses Disciples, dit : je suis ému de compassion envers cette multitude de gens, car il y a déjà trois jours qu'ils ne bougent d'avec moi, et ils n'ont rien à manger; et je ne veux pas les renvoyer à jeun, de peur que les forces ne leur manquent en chemin.
33 Et ses Disciples lui dirent : d'où pourrions-nous tirer dans ce désert assez de pains pour rassasier une si grande multitude?
34 Et Jésus leur dit : combien avez-vous de pains? ils lui dirent : Sept, et quelque peu de petits poissons.
35 Alors il commanda aux troupes de s'asseoir par terre.
36 Et ayant pris les sept pains et les poissons, il les rompit après avoir béni Dieu, et les donna à ses Disciples, et les Disciples au peuple.
37 Et ils mangèrent tous, et furent rassasiés; et on remporta du reste des pièces de pain sept corbeilles pleines.
38 Or ceux qui avaient mangé étaient quatre mille hommes, sans compter les femmes et les petits enfants.
39 Et Jésus ayant donné congé aux troupes, monta sur une nacelle, et vint au territoire de 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.
