Traditions and Commandments
15 (A)Then Pharisees and (B)scribes came to Jesus (C)from Jerusalem and said, 2 (D)“Why do your disciples break (E)the tradition of the elders? (F)For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” 3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, (G)‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, (H)‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5 But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”[a] 6 he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have (I)made void the word[b] of God. 7 (J)You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
8 (K)“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me,
teaching as (L)doctrines the commandments of men.’”
What Defiles a Person
10 And he called the people to him and said to them, (M)“Hear and understand: 11 (N)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 said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were (O)offended when they heard this saying?” 13 He answered, (P)“Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted (Q)will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; (R)they are blind guides.[c] And (S)if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” 15 But Peter said to him, (T)“Explain the parable to us.” 16 And he said, (U)“Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not see that (V)whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?[d] 18 But (W)what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. 19 For out of the heart come (X)evil thoughts, (Y)murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, (Z)slander. 20 (AA)These are what defile a person. But (AB)to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman
21 (AC)And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, (AD)a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, (AE)“Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, (AF)“Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” 24 He answered, (AG)“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and (AH)knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and (AI)throw it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat (AJ)the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” 28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, (AK)great is your faith! (AL)Let it be done for you as you desire.” (AM)And her daughter was (AN)healed instantly.[e]
Jesus Heals Many
29 (AO)Jesus went on from there and walked (AP)beside the Sea of Galilee. And he (AQ)went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 And great crowds came to him, bringing with them (AR)the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, 31 (AS)so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, (AT)the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And (AU)they glorified (AV)the God of Israel.
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand
32 (AW)Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, (AX)“I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33 And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?” 34 And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, (AY)“Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, and (AZ)having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And (BA)they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of (BB)Magadan.

Guds ord eller de äldstes stadgar
15 Sedan kom några fariseer och skriftlärda från Jerusalem fram till Jesus och frågade: 2 "Varför bryter dina lärjungar mot de äldstes stadgar?[a] De tvättar inte händerna innan de äter." 3 Han svarade dem: "Varför bryter ni mot Guds bud för era stadgars skull? 4 Gud har sagt: Hedra din far och din mor och: Den som förbannar sin far eller mor skall straffas med döden. [b] 5 Men ni påstår: Om någon säger till sin far eller mor: Vad du kunde ha fått av mig, det ger jag som offergåva,[c] 6 då skall han inte hedra sin far eller mor. Ni upphäver Guds ord för era stadgars skull. 7 Ni hycklare, rätt profeterade Jesaja om er: 8 Detta folk ärar mig med sina läppar, men deras hjärtan är långt ifrån mig.[d] 9 Förgäves dyrkar de mig, eftersom de läror de förkunnar är människors bud."
10 Sedan kallade han till sig folket och sade till dem: "Lyssna och förstå! 11 Det som kommer in i munnen gör inte människan oren. Men det som går ut ur munnen, det orenar henne." 12 Lärjungarna gick då fram till honom och sade: "Vet du att fariseerna tog illa vid sig, när de hörde detta?" 13 Jesus svarade: "Varje planta, som min himmelske Fader inte har planterat, skall ryckas upp med roten. 14 Låt dem vara. De är blinda ledare för blinda. Och om en blind leder en blind, faller båda i gropen."
15 Petrus sade då till honom: "Förklara denna liknelse för oss." 16 Jesus sade: "Är ni också fortfarande lika oförståndiga? 17 Förstår ni inte att allt som kommer in i munnen går ner i magen och töms ut på avträdet? 18 Men det som går ut ur munnen kommer från hjärtat, och det gör människan oren. 19 Ty från hjärtat kommer onda tankar, mord, äktenskapsbrott, otukt, stöld, falskt vittnesbörd och hädelser. 20 Sådant orenar människan. Men att äta utan att tvätta händerna gör inte människan oren."
En kanaaneisk kvinnas tro
21 Jesus lämnade platsen och drog sig undan till området kring Tyrus och Sidon. 22 Då kom en kanaaneisk kvinna[e] från dessa trakter och ropade: "Herre, Davids Son, förbarma dig över mig! Min dotter är svårt besatt." 23 Men han svarade henne inte med ett ord. Hans lärjungar gick då fram och bad honom: "Skicka i väg henne! Hon följer ju efter oss och ropar." 24 Han svarade: "Jag är sänd endast till de förlorade fåren av Israels hus." 25 Men hon kom och föll ner för honom och sade: "Herre, hjälp mig!" 26 Han svarade: "Det är inte rätt att ta brödet från barnen och kasta det åt hundarna." 27 Hon sade: "Jo, Herre, också hundarna äter smulorna som faller från deras herrars bord." 28 Då svarade Jesus henne: "Kvinna, din tro är stor. Det skall bli som du vill." Och från det ögonblicket var hennes dotter botad.
Jesus botar sjuka
29 Jesus begav sig därifrån och gick längs Galileiska sjön, och sedan gick han upp på berget och satte sig där. 30 Mycket folk kom till honom, och de hade med sig lama, blinda, krymplingar, stumma och många andra, som de lade ner vid hans fötter, och han botade dem. 31 Och folket häpnade, när de såg stumma tala, krymplingar bli friska, lama gå och blinda se. Och de prisade Israels Gud.
Jesus mättar fyra tusen män
32 Jesus kallade till sig sina lärjungar och sade: "Det gör mig ont om dessa människor. De har redan varit hos mig i tre dagar och har inget att äta. Jag vill inte låta dem ge sig i väg hungriga. De kan duka under på vägen." 33 Lärjungarna frågade honom: "Var skall vi här i ödemarken få så mycket bröd, att vi kan mätta så många?" 34 Jesus sade till dem: "Hur många bröd har ni?" De svarade: "Sju bröd och några små fiskar." 35 Då befallde han folket att slå sig ner på marken. 36 Och han tog de sju bröden och fiskarna, tackade Gud, bröt bröden och gav dem åt lärjungarna, och lärjungarna gav åt folket. 37 Alla åt och blev mätta, och man plockade upp de överblivna styckena, sju korgar fulla. 38 De som hade ätit var fyra tusen män, förutom kvinnor och barn. 39 Och sedan han sänt i väg folket, steg han i båten och kom över till Magadans område.

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.
