马太福音 15
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
礼上的污秽
15 那时，有法利赛人和文士从耶路撒冷来见耶稣，说： 2 “你的门徒为什么犯古人的遗传呢？因为吃饭的时候，他们不洗手。” 3 耶稣回答说：“你们为什么因着你们的遗传，犯神的诫命呢？ 4 神说：‘当孝敬父母’，又说：‘咒骂父母的，必治死他。’ 5 你们倒说，无论何人对父母说：‘我所当奉给你的已经做了供献’， 6 他就可以不孝敬父母。这就是你们借着遗传，废了神的诫命！ 7 假冒为善的人哪！以赛亚指着你们说的预言是不错的，他说： 8 ‘这百姓用嘴唇尊敬我，心却远离我。 9 他们将人的吩咐当做道理教导人，所以拜我也是枉然。’”
心里的污秽
10 耶稣就叫了众人来，对他们说：“你们要听，也要明白。 11 入口的不能污秽人，出口的乃能污秽人。” 12 当时，门徒进前来对他说：“法利赛人听见这话不服[a]，你知道吗？” 13 耶稣回答说：“凡栽种的物，若不是我天父栽种的，必要拔出来。 14 任凭他们吧！他们是瞎眼领路的。若是瞎子领瞎子，两个人都要掉在坑里。” 15 彼得对耶稣说：“请将这比喻讲给我们听。” 16 耶稣说：“你们到如今还不明白吗？ 17 岂不知凡入口的，是运到肚子里，又落在茅厕里吗？ 18 唯独出口的，是从心里发出来的，这才污秽人。 19 因为从心里发出来的，有恶念、凶杀、奸淫、苟合、偷盗、妄证、谤讟。 20 这都是污秽人的，至于不洗手吃饭，那却不污秽人。”
耶稣夸奖迦南妇人的信心
21 耶稣离开那里，退到推罗、西顿的境内去。 22 有一个迦南妇人，从那地方出来，喊着说：“主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我！我女儿被鬼附得甚苦。” 23 耶稣却一言不答。门徒进前来求他，说：“这妇人在我们后头喊叫，请打发她走吧！” 24 耶稣说：“我奉差遣，不过是到以色列家迷失的羊那里去。” 25 那妇人来拜他，说：“主啊，帮助我！” 26 他回答说：“不好拿儿女的饼丢给狗吃。” 27 妇人说：“主啊，不错，但是狗也吃它主人桌子上掉下来的碎渣儿！” 28 耶稣说：“妇人，你的信心是大的！照你所要的，给你成全了吧。”从那时候，她女儿就好了。
29 耶稣离开那地方，来到靠近加利利的海边，就上山坐下。 30 有许多人到他那里，带着瘸子、瞎子、哑巴、有残疾的和好些别的病人，都放在他脚前，他就治好了他们。 31 甚至众人都稀奇，因为看见哑巴说话、残疾的痊愈、瘸子行走、瞎子看见，他们就归荣耀给以色列的神。
给四千人吃饱
32 耶稣叫门徒来，说：“我怜悯这众人，因为他们同我在这里已经三天，也没有吃的了。我不愿意叫他们饿着回去，恐怕在路上困乏。” 33 门徒说：“我们在这野地，哪里有这么多的饼叫这许多人吃饱呢？” 34 耶稣说：“你们有多少饼？”他们说：“有七个，还有几条小鱼。” 35 他就吩咐众人坐在地上， 36 拿着这七个饼和几条鱼，祝谢了，掰开，递给门徒，门徒又递给众人。 37 众人都吃，并且吃饱了，收拾剩下的零碎，装满了七个筐子。 38 吃的人，除了妇女孩子，共有四千。 39 耶稣叫众人散去，就上船，来到马加丹的境界。

Jesus Challenges the Pharisees’ Traditions(A)
15 Then some Pharisees and experts in Moses’ Teachings came from Jerusalem to Yeshua. They asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the traditions of our ancestors? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”
3 He answered them, “Why do you break the commandment of God because of your traditions? 4 For example, God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Whoever curses father or mother must be put to death.’ 5 But you say that whoever tells his father or mother, ‘I have given to God whatever support you might have received from me,’ 6 does not have to honor his father. Because of your traditions you have destroyed the authority of God’s word. 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 Their worship of me is pointless,
because their teachings are rules made by humans.’”
10 Then he called the crowd and said to them, “Listen and try to understand! 11 What goes into a person’s mouth doesn’t make him unclean.[a] It’s what comes out of the mouth that makes a person unclean.”
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you realize that when the Pharisees heard your statement they were offended?”
13 He answered, “Any plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted. 14 Leave them alone! They are blind leaders. When one blind person leads another, both will fall into the same pit.”
15 Peter said to him, “Explain this illustration to us.”
16 Yeshua said, “Don’t you understand yet? 17 Don’t you know that whatever goes into the mouth goes into the stomach and then into a toilet? 18 But whatever goes out of the mouth comes from within, and that’s what makes a person unclean. 19 Evil thoughts, murder, adultery, other sexual sins, stealing, lying, and cursing come from within. 20 These are the things that make a person unclean. But eating without washing one’s hands doesn’t make a person unclean.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(B)
21 Yeshua left that place and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 A Canaanite woman from that territory came to him and began to shout, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.”
23 But he did not answer her at all. Then his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away. She keeps shouting behind us.”
24 Yeshua responded, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel.”
25 She came to him, bowed down, and said, “Lord, help me!”
26 Yeshua replied, “It’s not right to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”
27 She said, “You’re right, Lord. But even the dogs eat scraps that fall from their masters’ tables.”
28 Then Yeshua answered her, “Woman, you have strong faith! What you wanted will be done for you.” At that moment her daughter was cured.
29 Yeshua moved on from there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up a mountain and sat there.
30 A large crowd came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, disabled, those unable to talk, and many others. They laid them at his feet, and he cured them. 31 The crowd was amazed to see mute people talking, the disabled cured, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. So they praised the God of Israel.
Jesus Feeds More Than Four Thousand(C)
32 Yeshua called his disciples and said, “I feel sorry for the people. They have been with me three days now and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry, or they may become exhausted on their way home.”
33 His disciples asked him, “Where could we get enough bread to feed such a crowd in this place where no one lives?”
34 Yeshua asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”
They answered, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36 He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks to God. Then he broke the bread and gave it to the disciples, and they gave the bread and fish to the people.
37 All of them ate as much as they wanted. The disciples picked up the leftover pieces and filled seven large baskets. 38 Four thousand men had eaten. (This number does not include the women and children who had eaten.)
39 After he sent the people on their way, Yeshua stepped into the boat and came to the territory of Magadan.
