Discussioni sulle tradizioni farisaiche
15 In quel tempo vennero a Gesù da Gerusalemme alcuni farisei e alcuni scribi e gli dissero: 2 «Perché i tuoi discepoli trasgrediscono la tradizione degli antichi? Poiché non si lavano le mani quando prendono cibo!». 3 Ed egli rispose loro: «Perché voi trasgredite il comandamento di Dio in nome della vostra tradizione? 4 Dio ha detto:
Onora il padre e la madre
e inoltre:
Chi maledice il padre e la madre sia messo a morte.
5 Invece voi asserite: Chiunque dice al padre o alla madre: Ciò con cui ti dovrei aiutare è offerto a Dio, 6 non è più tenuto a onorare suo padre o sua madre. Così avete annullato la parola di Dio in nome della vostra tradizione. 7 Ipocriti! Bene ha profetato di voi Isaia, dicendo:
8 Questo popolo mi onora con le labbra
ma il suo cuore è lontano da me.
9 Invano essi mi rendono culto,
insegnando dottrine che sono precetti di uomini».
Insegnamento sul puro e sull'impuro
10 Poi riunita la folla disse: «Ascoltate e intendete! 11 Non quello che entra nella bocca rende impuro l'uomo, ma quello che esce dalla bocca rende impuro l'uomo!».
12 Allora i discepoli gli si accostarono per dirgli: «Sai che i farisei si sono scandalizzati nel sentire queste parole?». 13 Ed egli rispose: «Ogni pianta che non è stata piantata dal mio Padre celeste sarà sradicata. 14 Lasciateli! Sono ciechi e guide di ciechi. E quando un cieco guida un altro cieco, tutti e due cadranno in un fosso!». 15 Pietro allora gli disse: «Spiegaci questa parabola». 16 Ed egli rispose: «Anche voi siete ancora senza intelletto? 17 Non capite che tutto ciò che entra nella bocca, passa nel ventre e va a finire nella fogna? 18 Invece ciò che esce dalla bocca proviene dal cuore. Questo rende immondo l'uomo. 19 Dal cuore, infatti, provengono i propositi malvagi, gli omicidi, gli adultèri, le prostituzioni, i furti, le false testimonianze, le bestemmie. 20 Queste sono le cose che rendono immondo l'uomo, ma il mangiare senza lavarsi le mani non rende immondo l'uomo».
Guarigione della figlia di una Cananèa
21 Partito di là, Gesù si diresse verso le parti di Tiro e Sidone. 22 Ed ecco una donna Cananèa, che veniva da quelle regioni, si mise a gridare: «Pietà di me, Signore, figlio di Davide. Mia figlia è crudelmente tormentata da un demonio». 23 Ma egli non le rivolse neppure una parola.
Allora i discepoli gli si accostarono implorando: «Esaudiscila, vedi come ci grida dietro». 24 Ma egli rispose: «Non sono stato inviato che alle pecore perdute della casa di Israele». 25 Ma quella venne e si prostrò dinanzi a lui dicendo: «Signore, aiutami!». 26 Ed egli rispose: «Non è bene prendere il pane dei figli per gettarlo ai cagnolini». 27 «E' vero, Signore, disse la donna, ma anche i cagnolini si cibano delle briciole che cadono dalla tavola dei loro padroni». 28 Allora Gesù le replicò: «Donna, davvero grande è la tua fede! Ti sia fatto come desideri». E da quell'istante sua figlia fu guarita.
Molte guarigioni presso il lago
29 Allontanatosi di là, Gesù giunse presso il mare di Galilea e, salito sul monte, si fermò là. 30 Attorno a lui si radunò molta folla recando con sé zoppi, storpi, ciechi, sordi e molti altri malati; li deposero ai suoi piedi, ed egli li guarì. 31 E la folla era piena di stupore nel vedere i muti che parlavano, gli storpi raddrizzati, gli zoppi che camminavano e i ciechi che vedevano. E glorificava il Dio di Israele.
Seconda moltiplicazione dei pani
32 Allora Gesù chiamò a sé i discepoli e disse: «Sento compassione di questa folla: ormai da tre giorni mi vengono dietro e non hanno da mangiare. Non voglio rimandarli digiuni, perché non svengano lungo la strada». 33 E i discepoli gli dissero: «Dove potremo noi trovare in un deserto tanti pani da sfamare una folla così grande?». 34 Ma Gesù domandò: «Quanti pani avete?». Risposero: «Sette, e pochi pesciolini». 35 Dopo aver ordinato alla folla di sedersi per terra, 36 Gesù prese i sette pani e i pesci, rese grazie, li spezzò, li dava ai discepoli, e i discepoli li distribuivano alla folla. 37 Tutti mangiarono e furono saziati. Dei pezzi avanzati portarono via sette sporte piene. 38 Quelli che avevano mangiato erano quattromila uomini, senza contare le donne e i bambini. 39 Congedata la folla, Gesù salì sulla barca e andò nella regione di Magadàn.
От Матфея 15
Russian Synodal Version
15 Тогда приходят к Иисусу Иерусалимские книжники и фарисеи и говорят:
2 зачем ученики Твои преступают предание старцев? ибо не умывают рук своих, когда едят хлеб.
3 Он же сказал им в ответ: зачем и вы преступаете заповедь Божию ради предания вашего?
4 Ибо Бог заповедал: почитай отца и мать; и: злословящий отца или мать смертью да умрет.
5 А вы говорите: если кто скажет отцу или матери: дар [Богу] то, чем бы ты от меня пользовался,
6 тот может и не почтить отца своего или мать свою; таким образом вы устранили заповедь Божию преданием вашим.
7 Лицемеры! хорошо пророчествовал о вас Исаия, говоря:
8 приближаются ко Мне люди сии устами своими, и чтут Меня языком, сердце же их далеко отстоит от Меня;
9 но тщетно чтут Меня, уча учениям, заповедям человеческим.
10 И, призвав народ, сказал им: слушайте и разумейте!
11 не то, что входит в уста, оскверняет человека, но то, что выходит из уст, оскверняет человека.
12 Тогда ученики Его, приступив, сказали Ему: знаешь ли, что фарисеи, услышав слово сие, соблазнились?
13 Он же сказал в ответ: всякое растение, которое не Отец Мой Небесный насадил, искоренится;
14 оставьте их: они--слепые вожди слепых; а если слепой ведет слепого, то оба упадут в яму.
15 Петр же, отвечая, сказал Ему: изъясни нам притчу сию.
16 Иисус сказал: неужели и вы еще не разумеете?
17 еще ли не понимаете, что всё, входящее в уста, проходит в чрево и извергается вон?
18 а исходящее из уст--из сердца исходит--сие оскверняет человека,
19 ибо из сердца исходят злые помыслы, убийства, прелюбодеяния, любодеяния, кражи, лжесвидетельства, хуления--
20 это оскверняет человека; а есть неумытыми руками--не оскверняет человека.
21 И, выйдя оттуда, Иисус удалился в страны Тирские и Сидонские.
22 И вот, женщина Хананеянка, выйдя из тех мест, кричала Ему: помилуй меня, Господи, сын Давидов, дочь моя жестоко беснуется.
23 Но Он не отвечал ей ни слова. И ученики Его, приступив, просили Его: отпусти ее, потому что кричит за нами.
24 Он же сказал в ответ: Я послан только к погибшим овцам дома Израилева.
25 А она, подойдя, кланялась Ему и говорила: Господи! помоги мне.
26 Он же сказал в ответ: нехорошо взять хлеб у детей и бросить псам.
27 Она сказала: так, Господи! но и псы едят крохи, которые падают со стола господ их.
28 Тогда Иисус сказал ей в ответ: о, женщина! велика вера твоя; да будет тебе по желанию твоему. И исцелилась дочь ее в тот час.
29 Перейдя оттуда, пришел Иисус к морю Галилейскому и, взойдя на гору, сел там.
30 И приступило к Нему множество народа, имея с собою хромых, слепых, немых, увечных и иных многих, и повергли их к ногам Иисусовым; и Он исцелил их;
31 так что народ дивился, видя немых говорящими, увечных здоровыми, хромых ходящими и слепых видящими; и прославлял Бога Израилева.
32 Иисус же, призвав учеников Своих, сказал им: жаль Мне народа, что уже три дня находятся при Мне, и нечего им есть; отпустить же их неевшими не хочу, чтобы не ослабели в дороге.
33 И говорят Ему ученики Его: откуда нам взять в пустыне столько хлебов, чтобы накормить столько народа?
34 Говорит им Иисус: сколько у вас хлебов? Они же сказали: семь, и немного рыбок.
35 Тогда велел народу возлечь на землю.
36 И, взяв семь хлебов и рыбы, воздал благодарение, преломил и дал ученикам Своим, а ученики народу.
37 И ели все и насытились; и набрали оставшихся кусков семь корзин полных,
38 а евших было четыре тысячи человек, кроме женщин и детей.
39 И, отпустив народ, Он вошел в лодку и прибыл в пределы Магдалинские.
Matthew 15
King James Version
15 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.

That Which Defiles(A)
15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”(B)
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a](C) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b](D) 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain;
their teachings are merely human rules.(E)’[c](F)”
10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them,(G) but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”(H)
12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted(I) will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d](J) If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”(K)
15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”(L)
16 “Are you still so dull?”(M) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(N) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(O) 20 These are what defile a person;(P) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(Q)
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.(R) 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,(S) have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”(T)
23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”(U)
25 The woman came and knelt before him.(V) “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith!(W) Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(X)(Y)(Z)
29 Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down. 30 Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.(AA) 31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.(AB)
32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people;(AC) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”
33 His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.
“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them(AD) and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. 37 They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(AE) 38 The number of those who ate was four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.

New King James Version
Defilement Comes from Within(A)
15 Then (B)the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 (C)“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, (D)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (E)‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, (F)“Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the [b]commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 (G)Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These(H) people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
(I)Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
10 (J)When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 (K)Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13 But He answered and said, (L)“Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. (M)They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15 (N)Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 So Jesus said, (O)“Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that (P)whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But (Q)those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 (R)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 unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
A Gentile Shows Her Faith(S)
21 (T)Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, (U)Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24 But He answered and said, (V)“I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little (W)dogs.”
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, (X)great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Jesus Heals Great Multitudes(Y)
29 (Z)Jesus departed from there, (AA)skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 (AB)Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, [d]maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ (AC)feet, and He healed them. 31 So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the [e]maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they (AD)glorified the God of Israel.
Feeding the Four Thousand(AE)
32 (AF)Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
33 (AG)Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And (AH)He took the seven loaves and the fish and (AI)gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. 37 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left. 38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 (AJ)And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of [f]Magdala.
