1THEN FROM Jerusalem came scribes and Pharisees and said,
2Why do Your disciples transgress {and} violate the rules handed down by the elders of the past? For they do not practice [ceremonially] washing their hands before they eat.
3He replied to them, And why also do you transgress {and} violate the commandment of God for the sake of the rules handed down to you by your forefathers (the elders)?
4For God commanded, Honor your father and your mother, and, He who curses {or} reviles {or} speaks evil of {or} abuses {or} treats improperly his father or mother, let him surely come to his end by death.
5But you say, If anyone tells his father or mother, What you would have gained from me [that is, the money and whatever I have that might be used for helping you] is already dedicated as a gift to God, then he is exempt {and} no longer under obligation to honor {and} help his father {or his mother.}
6So for the sake of your tradition (the rules handed down by your forefathers), you have set aside the Word of God [depriving it of force and authority and making it of no effect].
7You pretenders (hypocrites)! Admirably {and} truly did Isaiah prophesy of you when he said:
8These people {draw near Me with their mouths and} honor Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off {and} are far away from Me.
9Uselessly do they worship Me, for they teach as doctrines the commands of men.
10And Jesus called the people to Him and said to them, Listen and grasp {and} comprehend this:
11It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean {and} defiled, but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean {and} defiles [him].
12Then the disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were displeased {and} offended {and} indignant when they heard this saying?
13He answered, Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be torn up by the roots.
14Let them alone {and} disregard them; they are blind guides {and} teachers. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.
15But Peter said to Him, Explain this proverb (this maxim) to us.
16And He said, Are you also even yet dull {and} ignorant [without understanding and unable to put things together]?
17Do you not see {and} understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the abdomen and so passes on into the place where discharges are deposited?
18But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what makes a man unclean {and} defiles [him].
19For out of the heart come evil thoughts (reasonings and disputings and designs) such as murder, adultery, sexual vice, theft, false witnessing, slander, {and} irreverent speech.
20These are what make a man unclean {and} defile [him]; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean {or} defile [him].
21And going away from there, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22And behold, a woman who was a Canaanite from that district came out and, with a [loud, troublesomely urgent] cry, begged, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is miserably {and} distressingly {and} cruelly possessed by a demon!
23But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, Send her away, for she is crying out after us.
24He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25But she came and, kneeling, worshiped Him and kept praying, Lord, help me!
26And He answered, It is not right (proper, becoming, or fair) to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.
27She said, Yes, Lord, yet even the little pups (little whelps) eat the crumbs that fall from their [young] masters' table.
28Then Jesus answered her, O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you wish. And her daughter was cured from that moment.
29And Jesus went on from there and passed along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up into the hills and kept sitting there.
30And a great multitude came to Him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them down at His feet; and He cured them,
31So that the crowd was amazed when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they recognized {and} praised {and} thanked {and} glorified the God of Israel.
32Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, I have pity {and} sympathy {and} am deeply moved for the crowd, because they have been with Me now three days and they have nothing [at all left] to eat; and I am not willing to send them away hungry, lest they faint {or} become exhausted on the way.
33And the disciples said to Him, Where are we to get bread sufficient to feed so great a crowd in this isolated {and} desert place?
34And Jesus asked them, How many loaves of bread do you have? They replied, Seven, and a few small fish.
35And ordering the crowd to recline on the ground,
36He took the seven loaves and the fish, and when He had given thanks, He broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
37And they all ate and were satisfied. And they gathered up seven [large provision] baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38Those who ate were 4,000 men, not including the women and the children.
39Then He dismissed the crowds, got into the boat, and went to the district of Magadan.
