马太福音 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
传统与诫命
15 有几个法利赛人和律法教师从耶路撒冷来质问耶稣： 2 “为什么你的门徒吃饭前不行洗手礼，破坏祖先的传统呢？”
3 耶稣回答说：“为什么你们拘守传统而违背上帝的诫命呢？ 4 上帝说，‘要孝敬父母’，又说，‘咒骂父母的，必被处死。’ 5 你们却说，‘人如果把供养父母的钱奉献给上帝， 6 他就不必供养父母。’你们这是用传统来废掉上帝的诫命。 7 你们这些伪君子，以赛亚指着你们说的预言一点不错，
8 “‘这些人嘴上尊崇我，
心却远离我，
9 他们的教导无非是人的规条，
他们敬拜我也是枉然。’”
10 耶稣召集了众人，对他们说：“你们要听，也要明白。 11 入口的东西不会使人污秽，从口中出来的才会使人污秽。”
12 门徒上前对祂说：“你知道吗？法利赛人听见你的话很反感。”
13 耶稣回答说：“凡不是我天父栽种的都要被连根拔起来。 14 随便他们吧！他们是瞎眼的向导。瞎子给瞎子领路，二人都会掉进坑里。”
15 彼得对耶稣说：“请给我们解释一下这个比喻。”
16 耶稣说：“你们还不明白吗？ 17 岂不知入口的东西都是进到肚子里，然后排泄到厕所里吗？ 18 可是，从口中出来的乃是发自内心，会使人污秽。 19 因为从心里出来的有恶念、谋杀、通奸、淫乱、偷盗、假见证和毁谤， 20 这些东西才使人污秽。不洗手吃饭并不会使人污秽。”
迦南妇人的信心
21 耶稣从那里退到泰尔和西顿境内。 22 那地方有个迦南的妇人前来大声恳求耶稣：“主啊！大卫的后裔啊！可怜我吧！我的女儿被鬼附身，受尽折磨！” 23 耶稣却一言不发。门徒上前求祂说：“请让她走吧！她老是在后面喊叫。”
24 耶稣说：“我奉差遣只是来寻找以色列家迷失的羊。”
25 那妇人上前跪下，说：“主啊！求你帮帮我吧！”
26 耶稣答道：“把儿女的食物丢给狗吃，不合适。”
27 妇人说：“主啊，不错，可是狗也吃主人饭桌上掉下来的碎渣呀！”
28 耶稣说：“妇人，你的信心真大！我答应你的要求。”就在那一刻，她女儿就好了。
耶稣使四千人吃饱
29 耶稣离开那里，来到加利利湖边，上了山，在那里坐下。 30 大群的人把瘸子、瞎子、残疾的、哑巴及许多别的病人带来，放在祂脚前，祂就治好了他们。 31 大家看见哑巴说话，残疾的复原，瘸子走路，瞎子看见，都很惊奇，就赞美以色列的上帝。
32 耶稣把门徒召集过来，对他们说：“我怜悯这些人，他们跟我在一起已经三天，没有任何吃的。我不愿让他们饿着肚子回去，以免他们在路上体力不支。”
33 门徒说：“在这荒野，我们到哪里找足够的食物给这么多人吃呢？”
34 耶稣问：“你们有多少饼？”
门徒答道：“七个，还有几条小鱼。”
35 耶稣便吩咐大家坐在地上。 36 祂拿着那七个饼和几条鱼祝谢后，掰开，递给门徒，门徒再分给大家。 37 大家都吃了，并且吃饱了，剩下的零碎装满了七个筐子。 38 当时吃饭的，除了妇女和小孩，共有四千男人。 39 随后，耶稣叫众人散去，自己坐船去了马加丹地区。
馬 太 福 音 15
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
上帝的律法与人类的传统
15 一些律法师和法利赛人从耶路撒冷来见耶稣，他们说： 2 “您的门徒为什么不保持我们祖先遗留下来的传统？他们不洗手就吃东西！”
3 耶稣回答他们∶“为什么你们要为了自己的传统而违背上帝的命令呢？ 4 上帝说∶‘要孝敬父母。’ [a]上帝还说∶‘侮辱父母的人必被处死。’ [b] 5 可是你们却教导一个人可以对父母说∶‘我有可用来帮助你们的东西，但是我不用它帮助你们，我要把它献给上帝。’ 6 你们这是在教他们不必孝敬父亲，所以你们在教执行上帝的话并不重要，你们认为更重要的是保持你们的传统。 7 虚伪的人啊！以赛亚对你们的预言是准确的：
8 ‘这些人说他们尊敬我，
但实际上我对他们无关紧要。
9 他们对我的崇拜毫无价值，
他们教导的只是人定的规矩。’” (A)
10 耶稣把人们叫到身边，对他们说∶“你们不但要听，而且还要理解我的话。 11 吃进嘴里的东西不会玷污一个人，从嘴里说出来的话才会玷污他。”
12 耶稣的门徒走过来对他说∶“您知道吗？法利赛人听见您的话，他们被激怒了。”
13 耶稣答道∶“不是我的天父栽种的植物是要被拔掉的， 14 随他们去吧，他们是盲人领盲人。如果盲人领盲人，最终他们都会跌进沟里。”
15 彼得说∶“请给我们解释一下您刚才说的那个比喻。”
16 耶稣说∶“你们还不能理解吗？ 17 你们难道不知道吗？从嘴里吃到肚子里的东西，又会从肚子里排泄出去； 18 而从嘴里说出来的话是来自内心的，它才会玷污一个人。 19 邪念、谋杀、通奸、不道德的性行为、偷盗、谎言、诽谤都源于人的内心。 20 正是这些东西使人们受到玷污，而用脏手吃东西并不会玷污一个人。”
耶稣帮助非犹太女子
21 耶稣离开那里，到推罗和西顿去了。 22 当地的一个迦南女子来见他，喊着∶“主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜可怜我吧！我女儿被鬼附体，痛苦万分。”
23 耶稣对她一言不发。门徒们走近耶稣说∶“您让她走开吧，她总跟在我们后边嚷嚷。”
24 耶稣答道∶“上帝只派我到迷途的以色列人中间来。”
25 那女子走过来跪在面前说∶“主，请帮帮我吧！”
26 耶稣回答说∶“我不该把给孩子吃的东西拿去喂狗。”
27 女子答道∶“您说的对，主，不过连狗也能吃从主人桌上掉下来的残渣剩饭。”
28 耶稣说∶“妇人，你有很强的信仰！祝你如愿以偿。”顿时，她女儿的病就好了。
耶稣治愈很多人
29 耶稣离开那里，来到加利利湖边。他登上一座山坡，坐了下来。
30 很多人聚到他身边，他们带来中有瘸腿的、失明的、残废的、聋哑的和其它各种各样的病人，他们躺在耶稣脚边，耶稣把他们一一治好了。 31 众人都为此感到惊讶。他们亲眼看见聋哑人开口说话，残疾人恢复正常，瘸腿的能行走，盲人见到光明。他们禁不住地赞美以色列的上帝。
耶稣向四千多人提供食物
32 耶稣把门徒叫到身边，对他们说∶“我很同情他们，这些人和我在一起已经三天了，也没有吃的东西。我不想让他们饿着肚子回去，他们可能会在路上晕倒的。”
33 门徒问∶“在这荒郊野外，我们到哪儿去找足够的食物给这么多人吃呀？”
34 耶稣问∶“你们有多少块面包？”
他们说∶“七块面包和几条小鱼。”
35 耶稣吩咐人群坐在地上。 36 他拿着七块面包和鱼，感谢上帝，然后他掰开食物，递给门徒们，他们又把食物分给了众人。 37 所有的人都吃饱了，之后门徒们收拾起剩下的食物，足足装满了七筐。 38 当时吃饭的人除了女人和孩子之外，大约有四千个男人。 39 吃完饭，耶稣打发人们回家去了，然后乘船到马加丹地区去了。

Lexham English Bible
Human Traditions and God’s Commandments
15 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat a meal.”[a] 3 So he answered and[b] said to them, “Why do you also break the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your[c] father and your[d] mother,’[e] and ‘The one who speaks evil of father or mother must certainly die[f].’[g] 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his[h] father or his[i] mother, “Whatever benefit you would have received[j] from me is a gift to God,” 6 need not honor his father,’[k] and you make void the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Isaiah correctly prophesied about you saying,
8 ‘This people honors me with their[l] lips,
but their heart is far, far away from me,
9 and they worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”[m]
Defilement from Within
10 And summoning the crowd, he said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth—this defiles a person.” 12 Then the disciples came and[n] said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they[o] heard this saying?” 13 And he answered and[p] said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted. 14 Let[q] them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.” 15 But Peter answered and[r] said to him, “Explain this parable to us.” 16 But he said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the stomach and is evacuated into the latrine? 18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the person. 19 For from the heart come evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, abusive speech. 20 These are the things that defile a person. But eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person!”
A Canaanite Woman’s Great Faith
21 And departing from there, Jesus went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that district came and cried out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came up and[s] asked him, saying, “Send her away, because she is crying out after us!” 24 But he answered and[t] said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and[u] knelt down before him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26 And he answered and[v] said, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it[w] to the dogs!” 27 So she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” 28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you want.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Many Others Healed in Galilee
29 And departing from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee, and he went up on the mountain and[x] was sitting there. 30 And large crowds came to him, having with them the mute, blind, lame, crippled,[y] and many others, and they put them down at his feet, and he healed them. 31 So then the crowd was astonished when they[z] saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.
The Feeding of Four Thousand
32 And Jesus summoned his disciples and[aa] said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat, and I do not want to send them away hungry lest they give out on the way.” 33 And the disciples said to him, “Where in this desolate place can we get[ab] so much bread that such a great crowd could be satisfied?” 34 And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” So they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.” 35 And commanding the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish and after he[ac] had given thanks, he broke them[ad] and began giving[ae] them[af] 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 baskets full. 38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children. 39 And after he[ag] sent away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.

Modern English Version
The Tradition of the Elders(A)
15 Then scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 “Why do Your disciples violate the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 But He answered them, “Why do you also violate the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[a] and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say, ‘Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, “What you would have profited from me is a gift to God,” 6 will be free from honoring his father or his mother.’ So you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah well prophesied of you, saying:
8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips,
but their heart is far from Me.
9 In vain they do worship Me,
teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’[c]”
10 He called the crowds and said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 That which goes into the mouth does not defile a man, but that which 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 after they heard this saying?”
13 But He answered, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Leave them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.”
15 Then Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that whatever enters at the mouth goes into the stomach and is cast out into the sewer? 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 proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immorality, thefts, false witness, and blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
The Faith of the Canaanite Woman(B)
21 Then Jesus went from there and departed into the regions of Tyre and Sidon. 22 There, a woman of Canaan came out of the same regions and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely possessed by a demon.”
23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and begged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24 But He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Then she came and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 But He answered, “It is not fair to take the children’s bread and to throw it to dogs.”
27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith. Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.
The Healing of Many People
29 Jesus departed from there, and passed by the Sea of Galilee, and went up on a mountain and sat down there. 30 Great crowds came to Him, having with them those who were lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and placed them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them, 31 so that the crowds wondered when they saw the mute speak, the maimed made whole, the lame walk, and the blind see. And they glorified the God of Israel.
The Feeding of the Four Thousand(C)
32 Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with Me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I will not send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
33 His disciples said to Him, “Where will we get enough bread in the wilderness to feed such a great crowd?”
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
And they said, “Seven and a few little fish.”
35 He commanded 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 His disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowd. 37 They all ate and were filled. And they collected seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left. 38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 He sent the crowd away, and got into the boat, and went to the region of Magdala.
