1 Silloin Jeesuksen luo tuli Jerusalemista fariseuksia ja lainopettajia.
4 Jumala on sanonut: 'Kunnioita isääsi ja äitiäsi' ja 'Joka kiroaa isäänsä tai äitiään, häntä rangaistakoon kuolemalla'.
5 Mutta te opetatte, että jos joku sanoo isälleen tai äidilleen: 'Sen, mitä sinun piti minulta saada, olen luvannut uhrilahjaksi',
6 hänen ei enää tarvitse kunnioittaa isäänsä tai äitiänsä. Näin te olette perinnäissäännöllänne tehneet tyhjäksi Jumalan sanan.
7 Te tekopyhät! Oikein Jesaja teistä ennusti, kun hän sanoi:
8 -- Tämä kansa kunnioittaa minua huulillaan, mutta sen sydän on kaukana minusta.
17 Ettekö käsitä, että se, mikä menee suusta sisään, jatkaa kulkuaan vatsaan, ja sitten se ulostetaan.
18 Mutta se, mikä tulee suusta ulos, on lähtöisin sydämestä, ja se saastuttaa ihmisen.
19 Juuri sydämestähän lähtevät pahat ajatukset, murhat, aviorikokset, siveettömyys, varkaudet, väärät todistukset ja herjaukset.
21 Lähdettyään sieltä Jeesus meni Tyroksen ja Sidonin seudulle.
29 Jeesus lähti sieltä, ja kuljettuaan Galileanjärven rantaa hän nousi vuorelle. Kun hän istui siellä,
30 hänen luokseen tuli paljon kansaa mukanaan rampoja, sokeita, raajarikkoja, mykkiä ja monia muita. Heidät asetettiin hänen eteensä, ja hän paransi heidät.
31 Ihmiset hämmästyivät nähdessään, kuinka mykät puhuivat, raajarikot tervehtyivät, rammat kävelivät ja sokeat näkivät, ja he ylistivät Israelin Jumalaa.
35 Jeesus käski väen asettua istumaan.
36 Sitten hän otti ne seitsemän leipää ja kalat, lausui kiitoksen ja mursi leivät ja antoi palat opetuslapsille, jotka jakoivat ne ihmisille.
37 Kaikki söivät kyllikseen, ja tähteeksi jääneitä paloja kerättiin seitsemän täyttä korillista.
38 Syömässä oli neljätuhatta miestä ja lisäksi naisia ja lapsia.
39 Sitten Jeesus lähetti väkijoukon pois, astui veneeseen ja tuli Magadanin seudulle.
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.
