1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: 31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. 39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
1 有法利赛人和经学家从耶路撒冷前来， 问耶稣：
2 "你的门徒为什么违背古人的传统， 在饭前不洗手呢？"
3 耶稣回答： "你们又为什么因你们的传统， 违背 神的诫命呢？
4 神说： ‘当孝敬父母’， 又说： ‘咒骂父母的必被处死’。
5 你们却说： ‘人若对父母说： "我应该给你们的， 已经作了献给 神的礼物"，
6 他就可以不孝敬父母了。’你们因为你们的传统， 就废弃了 神的话。
7 伪君子啊， 以赛亚指着你们说的预言说得好：
8 ‘这人民用嘴唇尊敬我， 心却远离我；
9 他们把人的规条当作道理去教导人， 所以拜我也是徒然。’"
10 耶稣叫群众前来， 对他们说： "你们要听， 也要明白。
11 进到口里的不能使人污秽， 只有从口里出来的， 才能使人污秽。"
12 门徒前来告诉他： "法利赛人听了这话很生气， 你知道吗？"
13 耶稣说： "所有不是我天父栽种的植物， 都要连根拔起来。
14 由得他们吧！ 他们是瞎眼的， 却作了向导； 如果瞎子领瞎子， 二人都会跌进坑里。"
15 彼得说： "请你给我们解释这个比喻吧。"
16 耶稣说： "你们还是不明白吗？
17 难道不知道一切进到口里的， 是进到肚腹， 然后排泄到外面去吗？
18 但从口里出来的， 是发自内心， 才会使人污秽。
19 因为从心里出来的， 有恶念、凶杀、奸淫、淫乱、偷盗、假见证和毁谤。
20 这些才会使人污秽， 不洗手吃饭却不会这样。"
21 耶稣离开那里， 来到推罗、西顿境内。
22 有一个迦南的妇人从那地区出来， 喊着说： "主啊， 大卫的子孙， 可怜我吧！ 我的女儿被鬼附得很苦。"
23 耶稣一句话也不回答她。门徒上前求他说： "请叫她走吧， 她一直跟在我们后面喊叫。"
24 耶稣回答： "我被差遣， 只是到以色列家的迷羊那里去。"
25 她来跪在耶稣面前说： "主啊， 求你帮助我！ "
26 耶稣回答： "拿儿女的饼丢给小狗吃是不好的。"
27 她说： "主啊， 是的， 不过小狗也吃主人桌子上掉下来的碎渣。"
28 于是耶稣对她说： "妇人， 你的信心真大， 照你所想的给你成就吧！ "从那时起， 她的女儿就好了。
29 耶稣离开那里， 来到加利利海边， 就上山坐下。
30 有许多人来到他那里， 把瘸腿的、瞎眼的、残废的、哑的和许多别的病人， 都带到耶稣跟前， 他就医好他们。
31 群众看见哑巴说话， 残废的复原， 瘸腿的行走， 瞎眼的看见， 就十分惊奇， 于是颂赞以色列的 神。
32 耶稣叫门徒前来， 说： "我怜悯这一群人， 因为他们跟我在一起已经有三天， 也没有什么吃的； 我不想叫他们饿着肚子回去， 恐怕他们在路上晕倒。"
33 门徒对他说： "我们在这旷野地方， 哪里有足够的食物给这许多的人吃饱呢？"
34 耶稣问他们： "你们有多少饼？"他们说： "七个饼和几条小鱼。"
35 他就吩咐群众坐在地上，
36 拿起那七个饼和那些鱼， 祝谢了， 擘开递给门徒， 门徒又分给众人。
37 大家都吃了， 并且吃饱了。他们把剩下的零碎拾起来， 装满了七个大篮子。
38 吃的人， 除了妇女和孩子， 共有四千。
39 耶稣解散了群众， 就上了船， 来到马加丹地区。
