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: 「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。」 耶穌回答說:「你們為什麼因著你們的遺傳,犯神的誡命呢? 神說:『當孝敬父母』,又說:『咒罵父母的,必治死他。』 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』, 他就可以不孝敬父母。這就是你們藉著遺傳,廢了神的誡命! 假冒為善的人哪!以賽亞指著你們說的預言是不錯的,他說: 『這百姓用嘴唇尊敬我,心卻遠離我。 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。

不可因传统废弃 神的诫命(A)

15 有法利赛人和经学家从耶路撒冷前来,问耶稣: “你的门徒为甚么违背古人的传统,在饭前不洗手呢?” 耶稣回答:“你们又为甚么因你们的传统,违背 神的诫命呢?  神说:‘当孝敬父母’,又说:‘咒骂父母的必被处死’。 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”, 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。 伪君子啊,以赛亚指着你们说的预言说得好:

‘这人民用嘴唇尊敬我,心却远离我;

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(“外面”或译:“厕所”)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。”

迦南妇人的信心(B)

21 耶稣离开那里,退到推罗、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。

治好许多病人(C)

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。

给四千人吃饱的神迹(D)

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,也没有甚么吃的;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。

God’s Commandments, Man’s Traditions

15 (A)Then some Pharisees and scribes *came to Jesus (B)from Jerusalem and said, “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they (C)do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, ‘(D)Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘(E)He who speaks evil of father or mother is to [a]be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever you might benefit from me [b]is given to God,” he need not [c]honor his father.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:

(F)This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as (G)doctrines the commands of men.’”

10 After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand. 11 (H)It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

12 Then the disciples *came and *said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were [d]offended when they heard this statement?” 13 But He answered and said, (I)Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. 14 Let them alone; (J)they are blind guides [e]of the blind. And (K)if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

The Heart of Man

15 Now Peter answered and said to Him, “(L)Explain the parable to us.” 16 And [f]Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in understanding also? 17 Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and goes into the sewer? 18 But (M)the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. 19 (N)For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”

The Canaanite Woman

21 (O)And going away from there, Jesus withdrew into the district of (P)Tyre and (Q)Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, (R)Son of David; my daughter is cruelly (S)demon-possessed.” 23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and were pleading with Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting [g]at us.” 24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to (T)the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and [h](U)was bowing down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26 And He answered and said, “It is not [i]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 But she said, “Yes, Lord; [j]but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, (V)your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed [k]at once.

Jesus Heals the Crowds

29 (W)And departing from there, Jesus went along by (X)the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there. 30 And [l]large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and (Y)He healed them. 31 So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled [m]restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they (Z)glorified the God of Israel.

Jesus Feeds Four Thousand

32 (AA)And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, (AB)I feel compassion for the crowd, because they [n]have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33 And the disciples *said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?” 34 And Jesus *said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And He directed the crowd to [o]sit down on the ground; 36 and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and (AC)giving thanks, He broke them and kept giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large (AD)baskets full. 38 And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39 And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into (AE)the boat and came to the region of (AF)Magadan.

The Tradition of the Elders

15 Then(A) Jesus was approached by Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem, who asked,(B) “Why do your disciples(C) break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat.”[a](D)

He answered them, “Why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition? For God said:[b] Honor your father and your mother;[c](E) and, Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.[d](F) But you say, ‘Whoever tells his father or mother, “Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple,” he does not have to honor his father.’[e] In this way, you have nullified the word of God[f] because of your tradition. Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said:

This people[g] honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
They worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrines human commands.[h](G)

Defilement Is from Within

10 Summoning the crowd, he told them, “Listen and understand: 11 It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles(H) a person, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles a person.”(I)

12 Then the disciples came up and told him, “Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?”

13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.(J) 14 Leave them alone! They are blind guides.[i] And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”(K)

15 Then Peter said, “Explain this parable to us.”(L)

16 “Do you still lack understanding?” he[j] asked. 17 “Don’t you realize[k] that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated?[l] 18 But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a person.(M) 19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies,(N) slander.(O) 20 These are the things that defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person.”(P)

A Gentile Mother’s Faith

21 When Jesus left there,(Q) he withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon.(R) 22 Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out,[m] “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely tormented by a demon.”(S)

23 Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples(T) approached him and urged him, “Send her away because she’s crying out after us.”

24 He replied, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”(U)

25 But she came, knelt before him, and said, “Lord, help me!”

26 He answered, “It isn’t right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”(V)

27 “Yes, Lord,” she said, “yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”

28 Then Jesus replied to her, “Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want.” And from that moment[n] her daughter was healed.(W)

Healing Many People

29 Moving on from there,(X) Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee.(Y) He went up on a mountain and sat there, 30 and large crowds came to him, including the lame, the blind, the crippled, those unable to speak, and many others. They put them at his feet, and he healed them. 31 So the crowd was amazed when they saw those unable to speak talking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing,(Z) and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

Feeding of the Four Thousand

32 Jesus called his disciples and said,(AA) “I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with me three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry, otherwise they might collapse on the way.”

33 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get enough bread in this desolate place(AB) to feed such a crowd?”

34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them.

“Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”

35 After commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.(AC) 37 They all ate and were satisfied. They collected the leftover pieces—seven large baskets full. 38 Now there were four thousand men who had eaten, besides women and children. 39 After dismissing the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.[o](AD)
