馬太福音 15
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
禮上的汙穢
15 那時，有法利賽人和文士從耶路撒冷來見耶穌，說： 2 「你的門徒為什麼犯古人的遺傳呢？因為吃飯的時候，他們不洗手。」 3 耶穌回答說：「你們為什麼因著你們的遺傳，犯神的誡命呢？ 4 神說：『當孝敬父母』，又說：『咒罵父母的，必治死他。』 5 你們倒說，無論何人對父母說：『我所當奉給你的已經做了供獻』， 6 他就可以不孝敬父母。這就是你們藉著遺傳，廢了神的誡命！ 7 假冒為善的人哪！以賽亞指著你們說的預言是不錯的，他說： 8 『這百姓用嘴唇尊敬我，心卻遠離我。 9 他們將人的吩咐當做道理教導人，所以拜我也是枉然。』」
心裡的汙穢
10 耶穌就叫了眾人來，對他們說：「你們要聽，也要明白。 11 入口的不能汙穢人，出口的乃能汙穢人。」 12 當時，門徒進前來對他說：「法利賽人聽見這話不服[a]，你知道嗎？」 13 耶穌回答說：「凡栽種的物，若不是我天父栽種的，必要拔出來。 14 任憑他們吧！他們是瞎眼領路的。若是瞎子領瞎子，兩個人都要掉在坑裡。」 15 彼得對耶穌說：「請將這比喻講給我們聽。」 16 耶穌說：「你們到如今還不明白嗎？ 17 豈不知凡入口的，是運到肚子裡，又落在茅廁裡嗎？ 18 唯獨出口的，是從心裡發出來的，這才汙穢人。 19 因為從心裡發出來的，有惡念、凶殺、姦淫、苟合、偷盜、妄證、謗讟。 20 這都是汙穢人的，至於不洗手吃飯，那卻不汙穢人。」
耶穌誇獎迦南婦人的信心
21 耶穌離開那裡，退到推羅、西頓的境內去。 22 有一個迦南婦人，從那地方出來，喊著說：「主啊，大衛的子孫，可憐我！我女兒被鬼附得甚苦。」 23 耶穌卻一言不答。門徒進前來求他，說：「這婦人在我們後頭喊叫，請打發她走吧！」 24 耶穌說：「我奉差遣，不過是到以色列家迷失的羊那裡去。」 25 那婦人來拜他，說：「主啊，幫助我！」 26 他回答說：「不好拿兒女的餅丟給狗吃。」 27 婦人說：「主啊，不錯，但是狗也吃牠主人桌子上掉下來的碎渣兒！」 28 耶穌說：「婦人，你的信心是大的！照你所要的，給你成全了吧。」從那時候，她女兒就好了。
29 耶穌離開那地方，來到靠近加利利的海邊，就上山坐下。 30 有許多人到他那裡，帶著瘸子、瞎子、啞巴、有殘疾的和好些別的病人，都放在他腳前，他就治好了他們。 31 甚至眾人都稀奇，因為看見啞巴說話、殘疾的痊癒、瘸子行走、瞎子看見，他們就歸榮耀給以色列的神。
給四千人吃飽
32 耶穌叫門徒來，說：「我憐憫這眾人，因為他們同我在這裡已經三天，也沒有吃的了。我不願意叫他們餓著回去，恐怕在路上困乏。」 33 門徒說：「我們在這野地，哪裡有這麼多的餅叫這許多人吃飽呢？」 34 耶穌說：「你們有多少餅？」他們說：「有七個，還有幾條小魚。」 35 他就吩咐眾人坐在地上， 36 拿著這七個餅和幾條魚，祝謝了，掰開，遞給門徒，門徒又遞給眾人。 37 眾人都吃，並且吃飽了，收拾剩下的零碎，裝滿了七個筐子。 38 吃的人，除了婦女孩子，共有四千。 39 耶穌叫眾人散去，就上船，來到馬加丹的境界。

1599 Geneva Bible
15 3 The commandments and traditions of men. 12 Offences. 13 The plant which is rooted up. 14 Blind leading the blind. 18 The heart. 22 The woman of Canaan. 26 The children’s bread: whelps. 28 Faith. 32 4,000 men fed. 36 Thanksgiving.
1 Then [a]came to Jesus the Scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 (A) Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders? for they [b]wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 [c]But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 (B)For God hath commanded, saying, [d]Honor thy father and mother: (C)and he that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, [e]Whosoever shall say to father or mother, By the gift that is offered by me, thou mayest have profit,
6 Though he honor not his father, or his mother, shall be free: thus have ye made the commandment of God of no [f]authority by your tradition.
7 [g]O hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying,
8 (D)This people draweth near unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far off from me.
9 But in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines, men’s precepts.
10 [h]Then he called the multitude unto him, and said to them, Hear and understand.
11 (E)That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man, but that which cometh out of the mouth that defileth the man.
12 ¶ Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Perceivest thou not, that the Pharisees are offended in hearing this saying?
13 But he answered and said, (F)Every plant which mine heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone, they be the (G)blind leaders of the blind: and if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 ¶ (H)Then answered Peter, and said to him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 Then said Jesus, Are ye yet without understanding?
17 Perceive ye not yet, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth, come from the heart, and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart (I)come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, slanders.
20 These are the things which defile the man: but to eat with unwashed hands, defileth not the man.
21 (J)And Jesus went thence, and departed into the [i]coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And behold, a woman a [j]Canaanite came out of the same coasts, and cried, saying unto him, Have mercy on me, O Lord, the son of David: my daughter is miserably vexed with a devil.
23 [k]But he answered her not a word. Then came to him his disciples, 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 (K)lost sheep of the [l]house of Israel.
25 Yet she came, and worshipped him, saying, Lord help me.
26 And he answered, and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to whelps.
27 But she said, Truth, Lord: yet indeed the whelps eat of the crumbs, which fall from their master’s table.
28 Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was made whole at that hour.
29 ¶ [m]So Jesus (L)went away from thence, and came near unto the sea of Galilee, and went up in a mountain and sat down there.
30 And great multitudes came unto him, (M)having with them, halt, blind, dumb, [n]maimed, and many others, and cast them down, at Jesus’ feet, and he healed them.
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, to see the dumb speak, the maimed whole, the halt to go, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 (N)[o]Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on this multitude, because they have [p]continued with me already three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not let them depart fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples said unto him, Whence should we get so much bread in the wilderness, as should suffice so great a multitude!
34 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Then he commandeth the multitude [q]to sit down on the ground.
36 And 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 sufficed, and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven [r]baskets full.
38 And they that had eaten, were four thousand men, beside women, and little children.
39 Then Jesus sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the parts of Magdala.

Obey God’s Law Not Men’s
15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem. They asked him, 2 “Why do your followers not obey the rules given to us by the great people who lived before us? Your followers don’t wash their hands before they eat!”
3 Jesus answered, “And why do you refuse to obey God’s command so that you can follow those rules you have? 4 God said, ‘Honor your father and mother.’[a] And God also said, ‘Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say that a person can tell his father or mother, ‘I have something I could use to help you. But I will not use it for you. I will give it to God.’ 6 You teach that person not to honor his father. You teach that it is not important to do what God said. You think that it is more important to follow the rules you have. 7 You are hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he spoke about you:
8 ‘These people show honor to me with words.
But their hearts are far from me.
9 Their worship of me is worthless.
The things they teach are nothing
but human rules they have memorized.’” Isaiah 29:13
10 Jesus called the crowd to him. He said, “Listen and understand what I am saying. 11 It is not what a person puts into his mouth that makes him unclean. It is what comes out of his mouth that makes him unclean.”
12 Then his followers came to Jesus and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees are angry because of what you said?”
13 Jesus answered, “Every plant that my Father in heaven has not planted himself will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Stay away from the Pharisees. They are blind leaders.[c] And if a blind man leads another blind man, then both men will fall into a ditch.”
15 Peter said, “Explain the story to us.”
16 Jesus said, “You still have trouble understanding? 17 Surely you know that all the food that enters the mouth goes into the stomach. Then that food goes out of the body. 18 But what a person says with his mouth comes from the way he thinks. And these are the things that make him unclean. 19 Out of the mind come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, lying, and saying bad things against other people. 20 These things make a person unclean. But eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean.”
Jesus Helps a Non-Jewish Woman
21 Jesus left that place and went to the area of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that area came to Jesus. The woman cried out, “Lord, Son of David, please help me! My daughter has a demon, and she is suffering very much.”
23 But Jesus did not answer the woman. So the followers came to Jesus and begged him, “Tell the woman to go away. She is following us and shouting.”
24 Jesus answered, “God sent me only to the lost sheep, the people of Israel.”
25 Then the woman came to Jesus again. She bowed before him and said, “Lord, help me!”
26 Jesus answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and give it to the dogs.”
27 The woman said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the pieces of food that fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! I will do what you asked me to do.” And at that moment the woman’s daughter was healed.
Jesus Heals Many People
29 Then Jesus left that place and went to the shore of Lake Galilee. He went up on a hill and sat there.
30 Great crowds came to Jesus. They brought their sick with them: the lame, the blind, the crippled, the dumb and many others. They put them at Jesus’ feet, and he healed them. 31 The crowd was amazed when they saw that people who could not speak were able to speak again. The crippled were made strong again. Those who could not walk were able to walk again. The blind were able to see again. And they praised the God of Israel for this.
More Than 4,000 People Fed
32 Jesus called his followers to him and said, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me three days, and now they have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry. They might faint while going home.”
33 His followers asked him, “Where can we get enough bread to feed all these people? We are far away from any town.”
34 Jesus asked, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”
They answered, “We have seven loaves and a few small fish.”
35 Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. 36 He took the seven loaves of bread and the fish and gave thanks to God for the food. Then Jesus divided the food and gave it to his followers. They gave the food to the people. 37 All the people ate and were satisfied. After this, the followers filled seven baskets with the pieces of food that were not eaten. 38 There were about 4,000 men there who ate, besides women and children. 39 After they ate, Jesus told the people to go home. He got into the boat and went to the area of Magadan.
