傳統與誡命
15 有幾個法利賽人和律法教師從耶路撒冷來質問耶穌： 2 「為什麼你的門徒吃飯前不行洗手禮，破壞祖先的傳統呢？」
3 耶穌回答說：「為什麼你們拘守傳統而違背上帝的誡命呢？ 4 上帝說，『要孝敬父母』，又說，『咒罵父母的，必被處死。』 5 你們卻說，『人如果把供養父母的錢奉獻給上帝， 6 他就不必供養父母。』你們這是用傳統來廢掉上帝的誡命。 7 你們這些偽君子，以賽亞指著你們說的預言一點沒錯，
8 『這些人嘴上尊崇我，
心卻遠離我，
9 他們的教導無非是人的規條，
他們敬拜我也是枉然。』」
10 耶穌召集了眾人，對他們說：「你們要聽，也要明白。 11 入口的東西不會使人污穢，從口中出來的才會使人污穢。」
12 門徒上前對祂說：「你知道嗎？法利賽人聽見你的話很反感。」
13 耶穌回答說：「凡不是我天父栽種的都要被連根拔起來。 14 隨便他們吧！他們是瞎眼的嚮導。瞎子給瞎子領路，二人都會掉進坑裡。」
15 彼得對耶穌說：「請給我們解釋一下這個比喻。」
16 耶穌說：「你們還不明白嗎？ 17 豈不知入口的東西都是進到肚子裡，然後排泄到廁所裡嗎？ 18 可是，從口中出來的乃是發自內心，會使人污穢。 19 因為從心裡出來的有惡念、謀殺、通姦、淫亂、偷盜、假見證和毀謗， 20 這些東西才使人污穢。不洗手吃飯並不會使人污穢。」
迦南婦人的信心
21 耶穌從那裡退到泰爾和西頓境內。 22 那地方有個迦南的婦人前來大聲懇求耶穌：「主啊！大衛的後裔啊！可憐我吧！我的女兒被鬼附身，受盡折磨！」 23 耶穌卻一言不發。門徒上前求祂說：「請讓她走吧！她老是在後面喊叫。」
24 耶穌說：「我奉差遣只是來尋找以色列家迷失的羊。」
25 那婦人上前跪下，說：「主啊！求你幫幫我吧！」
26 耶穌答道：「把兒女的食物丟給狗吃，不合適。」
27 婦人說：「主啊，沒錯，可是狗也吃主人飯桌上掉下來的碎渣呀！」
28 耶穌說：「婦人，你的信心真大！我答應你的要求。」就在那一刻，她女兒就好了。
耶穌使四千人吃飽
29 耶穌離開那裡，來到加利利湖邊，上了山，在那裡坐下。 30 大群的人把瘸子、瞎子、殘疾的、啞巴及許多別的病人帶來，放在祂腳前，祂就治好了他們。 31 大家看見啞巴說話，殘疾的復原，瘸子走路，瞎子看見，都很驚奇，就讚美以色列的上帝。
32 耶穌把門徒召集過來，對他們說：「我憐憫這些人，他們跟我在一起已經三天，沒有任何吃的。我不願讓他們餓著肚子回去，以免他們在路上體力不支。」
33 門徒說：「在這荒野，我們到哪裡找足夠的食物給這麼多人吃呢？」
34 耶穌問：「你們有多少餅？」
門徒答道：「七個，還有幾條小魚。」
35 耶穌便吩咐大家坐在地上。 36 祂拿著那七個餅和幾條魚祝謝後，掰開，遞給門徒，門徒再分給大家。 37 大家都吃了，並且吃飽了，剩下的零碎裝滿了七個筐子。 38 當時吃飯的，除了婦女和小孩，共有四千男人。 39 隨後，耶穌叫眾人散去，自己坐船去了馬加丹地區。

ମନୁଷ୍ୟକୃତ ନିୟମଠାରୁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ବିଧାନ ବଡ଼
(ମାର୍କ 7:1-23)
15 କେତେକ ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ଯିହୂଦୀ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଯିରୁଶାଲମରୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସି ପଗ୍ଭରିଲେ, 2 “ତୁମ୍ଭ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଦତ୍ତ ନୀତିନିୟମଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ କାହିଁକି ମାନୁ ନାହାନ୍ତି? ତୁମ୍ଭ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ଖାଇବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ କାହିଁକି ହାତ ଧୋଉ ନାହାନ୍ତି।”
3 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଜର ପରମ୍ପରାଗତ ରୀତି ନୀତି ପାଳିବାକୁ ଯାଇ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଆଦେଶ କାହିଁକି ଲଙ୍ଘନ କରୁଛ? 4 ପରମେଶ୍ୱର କହିଛନ୍ତି: ‘ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କୁ ସମ୍ମାନ ଦିଅ,(A) କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କୁ ଅପମାନିତ କରେ, ତାକୁ ବଧ କରାଯିବା ଉଚିତ୍।’(B) 5 କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁଭଳି ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେଉଛ, ତା'ଫଳରେ ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ତା'ର ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କୁ କହି ପାରିବ, ‘ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରି ପାରିବି ନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ମୋର ଯାହାସବୁ ଅଛି ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବି।’ 6 ଏହିଭଳି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସେ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ତା’ ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କୁ ସମ୍ମାନ ନ ଦେବା ପାଇଁ ହିଁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେଉଛ। ଏହିପରି ନିଜର ପରମ୍ପରାଗତ ନୀତିନିୟମଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସମ୍ମାନ ଦେଇଛ ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଆଦେଶକୁ ଅବମାନନା କରୁଛ। 7 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସବୁ କପଟୀ! ଯିଶାଇୟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ଠିକ୍ ଭାବରେ ଏହି ଭବିଷ୍ୟଦ୍ବାଣୀ କହିଥିଲେ।
8 ଏମାନେ କେବଳ ମୁଖରେ ମୋର ଆଦର କରନ୍ତି,
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମନକଥା ମୋ'ଠାରୁ ବହୁତ ଦୂରରେ ରହିଥାଏ।
9 ସେମାନେ ମୋତେ ଯେଉଁ ଉପାସନା କରନ୍ତି, ତାହା ମୂଲ୍ୟହୀନ।
ସେମାନେ ଯେଉଁସବୁ ବିଷୟ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦିଅନ୍ତି ତାହା କେବଳ ମଣିଷ ତିଆରି ବିଧିବିଧାନ।’”(C)
10 ଯୀଶୁ ସମବେତ ହୋଇଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଡାକିଲେ। ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ମୁଁ ଯାହା କହୁଛି ତାହା ଶୁଣ ଓ ବୁଝ। 11 ମଣିଷ ମୁହଁ ଭିତରକୁ ଯାଇଥିବା ବିଷୟ ଯୋଗୁଁ ଅପବିତ୍ର ହୋଇଯାଏ ନାହିଁ ବରଂ ତା'ର ମୁଖରୁ ବାହାରୁଥିବା ବିଷୟ ଯୋଗୁଁ ସେ ଅପବିତ୍ର ହୋଇଥାଏ।”
12 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଏସବୁ କରିବା ଫଳରେ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଉପରେ ରାଗିଯାଇଅଛନ୍ତି ବୋଲି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିଛ ତ?”
13 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, “ଯେଉଁ ଗ୍ଭରା ମୋର ସ୍ୱର୍ଗୀୟ ପିତା ନିଜେ ଲଗେଇ ନାହାନ୍ତି, ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସମୂଳେ ଉପାଡ଼ି ଦିଆଯିବ। 14 ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଛାଡ଼ିଦିଅ। ସେମାନେ ତ ଅନ୍ଧମାନଙ୍କର ଅନ୍ଧ ନେତା। ଯଦି ଜଣେ ଅନ୍ଧ ଆଉ ଗୋଟିଏ ଅନ୍ଧକୁ ରାସ୍ତା ଦେଖାଏ, ତେବେ ଉଭୟ ଖାତ ଭିତରେ ଖସି ପଡ଼ିବେ।”
15 ଏ କଥା ଶୁଣି ପିତର କହିଲେ, “ଏହି କାହାଣୀର ଅର୍ଥ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ବୁଝାଇ ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ।’’
16 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, “ଏବେ ବି କ’ଣ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବୁଝିବାରେ ଅସୁବିଧା ଅଛି? 17 ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ’ଣ ଜାଣିନ ଯେ, ଯେଉଁଖାଦ୍ୟ ଜଣେ ଲୋକର ପାଟି ଭିତରକୁ ଯାଏ, ତାହା ପେଟ ଭିତରକୁ ଯାଏ ଓ ପରିଶେଷରେ ଦେହରୁ ବାହାରିଯାଏ। 18 କିନ୍ତୁ ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ଯେଉଁ ମନ୍ଦ କଥା ପାଟିରେ କହେ, ତାହା ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ତା'ର ମନ ଭିତରୁ ଆସିଥାଏ। ଏହା ଲୋକକୁ ଅପବିତ୍ର କରିଥାଏ। 19 କାରଣ ଖରାପ ଭାବନା, ହତ୍ୟା, ବ୍ୟଭିଗ୍ଭର, ଯୌନାଗ୍ଭର, ଗ୍ଭେରି, ମିଥ୍ୟାସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ଓ ନିନ୍ଦା ଆଦି ଖରାପ ବିଷୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ପ୍ରଥମେ ମଣିଷର ମନ ଭିତରେ ସୃଷ୍ଟି ହୁଏ। 20 ଏଗୁଡ଼ିକ ମଣିଷକୁ ଅପବିତ୍ର କରି ଦିଅନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ଖାଇବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ହାତ ନ ଧୋଇବା ଘଟଣା ମଣିଷକୁ ଅପବିତ୍ର କରି ପାରେ ନାହିଁ।”
ଜଣେ ଅଣଯିହୂଦୀ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀକୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସହାୟତା
(ମାର୍କ 7:24-30)
21 ଯୀଶୁ ସେ ସ୍ଥାନଛାଡ଼ି ସୋର ଓ ସୀଦୋନ ଅଞ୍ଚଳକୁ ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲେ। 22 ସେହି ଅଞ୍ଚଳର ଜଣେ କିଣାନୀୟା ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଆସି ବଡ଼ ପାଟି କରି କହିଲା, “ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ! ହେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର! ମୋ’ ପ୍ରତି ଦୟା କରନ୍ତୁ। ମୋ’ ଝିଅ ଦେହରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଭୂତ ପଶି ରହିଛି, ମୋ’ ଝିଅ ଭାରି କଷ୍ଟ ପାଉଛି।”
23 ଯୀଶୁ ତାକୁ ପଦେ ହେଲେ କିଛି କହିଲେ ନାହିଁ। ତେଣୁ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସିଲେ ଓ ଅନୁରୋଧ କଲେ, “ସେ ଆମ୍ଭ ପଛେ ପଛେ ପାଟି କରି ଆସୁଛି। ତାକୁ ଗ୍ଭଲି ଯିବାକୁ କହି ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ।”
24 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, “ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ମୋତେ କେବଳ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲର ହଜିଯାଇଥିବା ଲୋକ (ଯିହୂଦୀ) ମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ପଠାଇଛନ୍ତି।”
25 ତା'ପରେ ସେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ପୁଣି ଥରେ ଆସିଲା। ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଣାମ କରି କହିଲା, “ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ! ମୋତେ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରନ୍ତୁ।”
26 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, “ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ ଖାଦ୍ୟନେଇ କୁକୁରଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଦେଇଦେବା ଠିକ୍ କାମ ହେବ ନାହିଁ।”
27 ସେହି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ କହିଲା, “ହଁ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ଏହା ଠିକ୍ କଥା। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମାଲିକମାନଙ୍କର ଖାଇବା ଟେବୁଲ ଉପରୁ ଖସି ପଡ଼ୁଥିବା ଖାଦ୍ୟ କଣିକାସବୁ କୁକୁରଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଖାଇଥା’ନ୍ତି।”
28 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, “ହେ ନାରୀ! ତୁମ୍ଭର ଗଭୀର ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ରହିଛି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋ'ଠାରୁ ଯାହା ଗ୍ଭହିଁଛ, ମୁଁ ତାହା କରିଦେବି।” ଏହା କହିବା ମାତ୍ରେ ସେହି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀର ଝିଅଟି ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ରୂପେ ଭଲ ହୋଇଗଲା।
ଯୀଶୁ ଅନେକ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କରିଦେଲେ
29 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସେ ସ୍ଥାନ ଛାଡ଼ି ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲେ ଓ ଗାଲିଲୀ ହ୍ରଦ କୂଳରେ ଯାଇ ପହଞ୍ଚିଲେ। ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ପାହାଡ଼ ଉପରକୁ ଯାଇ ସେଠାରେ ବସିଲେ।
30 ଅନେକ ସଂଖ୍ୟାରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ସେମାନେ ଅନେକ ଅନ୍ଧ, ମୂକ, ବଧିର, ଛୋଟା, ଅପଙ୍ଗ ଓ ଅନ୍ୟ ରୋଗୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆଣିଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କରିଦେଲେ। 31 ଲୋକେ ଦେଖିଲେ ଯେ, ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ କଥା କହିପାରୁ ନ ଥିଲା ସେ କଥା କହି ପାରୁଛି, ଅପଙ୍ଗ ଲୋକେ ପୁଣି ସବଳ ହୋଇଛନ୍ତି; ଛୋଟାମାନେ ଗ୍ଭଲି ପାରୁଛନ୍ତି, ଅନ୍ଧମାନେ ପୁଣି ଦେଖି ପାରୁଛନ୍ତି, ଏସବୁ ଦେଖି ସେମାନେ ବହୁତ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ ହୋଇଗଲେ। ସେମାନେ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲର ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ମହିମା ଗାନ କଲେ।
ଯୀଶୁ ଗ୍ଭରି ହଜାରରୁ ଅଧିକ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଖାଇବାକୁ ଦେଲେ
(ମାର୍କ 8:1-10)
32 ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଡାକି କହିଲେ, “ମୁଁ ଏ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ବଡ଼ ଦୁଃଖିତ। ସେମାନେ ମୋ’ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ ତିନି ଦିନ ହେଲା ରହିଲେଣି, କିନ୍ତୁ ଏବେ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଖାଇବାକୁ କିଛି ନାହିଁ। ସେମାନେ ଏଠାରୁ ଭୋକିଲା ଗ୍ଭଲିଯିବାଟା ମୁଁ ଆଦୌ ଗ୍ଭହୁଁନି। ସେମାନେ ଘରକୁ ଗଲାବେଳେ ମୂର୍ଚ୍ଛା ହୋଇ ଯାଇ ପାରନ୍ତି।”
33 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ କହିଲେ, “ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏତେ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏତେ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଏଭଳି ସ୍ଥାନରେ କେଉଁଠାରୁ ପାଇବା? ଆମ୍ଭେ ନଗରଠାରୁ ବହୁତ ଦୂରରେ ଅଛୁ।”
34 ଯୀଶୁ ପଗ୍ଭରିଲେ, ‘‘ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଖରେ କେତେଖଣ୍ଡ ରୋଟୀ ଅଛି?”
ସେମାନେ କହିଲେ, “ସାତଖଣ୍ଡ ରୋଟୀ ଓ କିଛି ଛୋଟ ମାଛ ଅଛି।”
35 ଯୀଶୁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭୂଇଁ ଉପରେ ବସିବାକୁ କହିଲେ: 36 ସେ ସାତଖଣ୍ଡ ରୋଟୀ ଓ ମାଛତକ ନେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କୁ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ପାଇଁ ଧନ୍ୟବାଦ ଦେଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଛୋଟ ଛୋଟ ଖଣ୍ଡ କଲେ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଲେ। ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ବାଣ୍ଟିଲେ। 37 ସମସ୍ତେ ଖାଇଲେ ଓ ସନ୍ତୋଷ ଲାଭ କଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ବଳକା ଖାଦ୍ୟକୁ ସାତୋଟି ଟୋକେଇରେ ଭର୍ତ୍ତି କଲେ। 38 ସେଠାରେ ପ୍ରାୟ ଗ୍ଭରିହଜାର ପୁରୁଷ ଖାଇଥିଲେ। ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଛଡ଼ା ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଓ ପିଲାମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଖାଇଥିଲେ। 39 ସେମାନେ ଖାଇ ସାରିବା ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଘରକୁ ଫେରିଯିବା ପାଇଁ କହିଲେ। ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିଦାୟ କରିସାରି ଯୀଶୁ ଡଙ୍ଗାରେ ବସି ମଗ୍ଦାନ୍ ଅଞ୍ଚଳକୁ ଗଲେ।

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.

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.
