Mga Minanang Katuruan(A)
15 Pagkatapos, lumapit kay Jesus ang ilang Pariseo at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na galing sa Jerusalem, at siya'y tinanong nila, 2 “Bakit nilalabag ng mga alagad mo ang mga katuruang minana natin sa ating mga ninuno? Kumakain sila nang hindi muna naghuhugas ng kamay ayon sa tamang paraan!”
3 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Bakit naman ninyo nilalabag ang utos ng Diyos dahil sa inyong mga tradisyon? 4 Sinabi(B) ng Diyos, ‘Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ina’ at, ‘Ang sinumang lumait sa kanyang ama o ina ay dapat patayin.’ 5 Ngunit itinuturo ninyo na kapag sinabi ng isang tao sa kanyang ama o ina, ‘Ang anumang maitutulong ko sa inyo ay naihandog ko na sa Diyos,’ 6 hindi na niya kailangang tulungan ang kanyang ama [at ang kanyang ina].[a] Pinawawalang-kabuluhan ninyo ang salita ng Diyos masunod lamang ninyo ang inyong minanang mga katuruan. 7 Mga mapagkunwari! Tama nga ang sinabi ni propeta Isaias tungkol sa inyo,
8 ‘Ang(C) paggalang sa akin ng bayang ito ay pakunwari lamang,
    sapagkat sa bibig at hindi sa puso ito bumubukal.
9 Walang kabuluhan ang kanilang pagsamba,
    sapagkat itinuturo nilang galing sa Diyos ang kanilang mga utos.’”
Ang Nagpaparumi sa Tao(D)
10 Pinalapit ni Jesus ang mga tao at sinabi sa kanila, “Pakinggan ninyo at unawain ang aking sasabihin. 11 Ang lumalabas sa bibig ng tao, hindi ang pumapasok, ang siyang nagpaparumi sa kanya sa paningin ng Diyos.”
12 Pagkatapos, lumapit naman ang mga alagad at sinabi sa kanya, “Hindi po ba ninyo alam na nasaktan ang mga Pariseo sa sinabi ninyo?”
13 Sumagot siya, “Ang bawat halamang hindi itinanim ng aking Ama na nasa langit ay bubunutin. 14 Hayaan(E) ninyo sila. Sila'y mga bulag na taga-akay [ng mga bulag;][b] at kapag bulag ang umakay sa kapwa bulag, pareho silang mahuhulog sa hukay.”
15 Sinabi sa kanya ni Pedro, “Ipaliwanag nga po ninyo sa amin ang talinghagang [ito.]”[c]
16 At sinabi ni Jesus, “Pati ba kayo'y wala ring pang-unawa? 17 Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na anumang pumapasok sa bibig ay tumutuloy sa tiyan at pagkatapos ay idinudumi? 18 Ngunit(F) ang lumalabas sa bibig ay nanggagaling sa puso. Iyan ang nagpaparumi sa tao. 19 Sapagkat sa puso nanggagaling ang masasamang kaisipan, pagpatay, pangangalunya, pakikiapid, pagnanakaw, pagiging saksi para sa kasinungalingan, at paninirang-puri. 20 Iyan ang nagpaparumi sa tao sa paningin ng Diyos. Hindi nagiging marumi ang isang tao kung siya man ay kumain nang hindi muna naghuhugas ng kamay.”
Ang Pananalig ng Isang Cananea(G)
21 Umalis doon si Jesus at nagpunta sa lupaing malapit sa Tiro at Sidon. 22 Isang Cananea na nakatira doon ang lumapit sa kanya na sumisigaw, “Panginoon, Anak ni David, maawa po kayo sa akin! Ang anak kong babae ay sinasapian ng demonyo at labis na pinapahirapan nito.”
23 Ngunit hindi sumagot si Jesus. Lumapit ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi kay Jesus, “Paalisin na nga po ninyo siya. Napakaingay niya at sunod nang sunod sa atin.” 24 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sa mga naliligaw na tupa ng sambahayan ng Israel lamang ako isinugo.” 25 Ngunit lumapit sa kanya ang babae, lumuhod ito at nagmakaawa, “Tulungan po ninyo ako, Panginoon.”
26 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi dapat kunin ang pagkain ng mga bata at ibigay sa mga aso.”
27 “Totoo nga, Panginoon. Ngunit ang mga aso man po ay kumakain ng mumong nalalaglag sa hapag ng kanilang panginoon,” tugon ng babae. 28 At sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Ginang, napakalaki ng iyong pananampalataya! Mangyayari ang hinihiling mo.” At noon di'y gumaling ang kanyang anak.
Maraming Pinagaling si Jesus
29 Pag-alis doon, naglakad si Jesus sa tabi ng Lawa ng Galilea. Umakyat siya sa bundok at naupo roon. 30 Nagdatingan naman ang napakaraming taong may dalang mga pilay, bulag, lumpo, pipi, at marami pang ibang maysakit. Dinala nila ang mga ito sa paanan ni Jesus at sila'y pinagaling niya. 31 Kaya't namangha ang mga tao nang makita nilang nakapagsasalita na ang mga pipi, gumaling ang mga lumpo, nakakalakad na ang mga pilay, at nakakakita na ang mga bulag. Kaya't pinuri nila ang Diyos ng Israel.
Ang Pagpapakain sa Apat na Libo(H)
32 Tinawag ni Jesus ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi sa kanila, “Nahahabag ako sa mga taong ito. Tatlong araw na ngayong kasama natin sila at wala na silang pagkain. Ayokong paalisin sila nang gutom, baka sila mahilo sa daan.”
33 Sinabi naman ng mga alagad, “Saan po tayo kukuha ng sapat na pagkain para sa ganito karaming tao sa ilang na ito?”
34 “Ilan ang tinapay ninyo riyan?” tanong ni Jesus sa kanila.
“Pito po, at mayroon pang ilang maliliit na isda,” sagot nila.
35 Pinaupo ni Jesus sa lupa ang mga tao. 36 Kinuha niya ang pitong tinapay at ang mga isda at nagpasalamat siya sa Diyos. Pagkatapos, pinaghati-hati niya ang mga iyon at ibinigay sa mga alagad upang ipamahagi sa mga tao. 37 Nakakain at nabusog ang lahat, at nang ipunin ng mga alagad ang tinapay na lumabis, nakapuno pa sila ng pitong kaing. 38 May apat na libong lalaki ang nakakain, bukod pa sa mga babae at mga bata.
39 Nang napauwi na ni Jesus ang mga tao, sumakay siya sa bangka at nagtungo sa lupain ng Magadan.[d]

The Tradition of the Elders
15 Then(A) Jesus was approached by Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem, who asked,(B) 2 ‘Why do your disciples(C) break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat.’[a](D)
3 He answered them, ‘Why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition? 4 For God said:[b] Honour your father and your mother;[c](E) and, Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.[d](F) 5 But you say, “Whoever tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple,’ 6 he does not have to honour his father.”[e] In this way, you have nullified the word of God[f] because of your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said:
8 This people[g] honours me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
9 They worship me in vain,
eaching as doctrines human commands.’(G)[h]
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 offence 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 realise[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 for 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)

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.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 And he 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 filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

New King James Version
Defilement Comes from Within(A)
15 Then (B)the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 (C)“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, (D)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (E)‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, (F)“Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the [b]commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 (G)Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These(H) people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
(I)Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
10 (J)When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 (K)Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what 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 when they heard this saying?”
13 But He answered and said, (L)“Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. (M)They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15 (N)Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 So Jesus said, (O)“Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that (P)whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But (Q)those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 (R)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 unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
A Gentile Shows Her Faith(S)
21 (T)Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, (U)Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24 But He answered and said, (V)“I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little (W)dogs.”
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, (X)great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Jesus Heals Great Multitudes(Y)
29 (Z)Jesus departed from there, (AA)skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 (AB)Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, [d]maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ (AC)feet, and He healed them. 31 So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the [e]maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they (AD)glorified the God of Israel.
Feeding the Four Thousand(AE)
32 (AF)Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
33 (AG)Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And (AH)He took the seven loaves and the fish and (AI)gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. 37 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left. 38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 (AJ)And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of [f]Magdala.
