The Teaching of the Ancestors(A)
15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the Law came from Jerusalem to Jesus and asked him, 2 “Why is it that your disciples disobey the teaching handed down by our ancestors? They don't wash their hands in the proper way before they eat!”
3 Jesus answered, “And why do you disobey God's command and follow your own teaching? 4 (B)For God said, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and ‘If you curse your father or your mother, you are to be put to death.’ 5 But you teach that if people have something they could use to help their father or mother, but say, ‘This belongs to God,’ 6 they do not need to honor their father.[a] In this way you disregard God's command, in order to follow your own teaching. 7 You hypocrites! How right Isaiah was when he prophesied about you!
8 (C)‘These people, says God, honor me with their words,
but their heart is really far away from me.
9 It is no use for them to worship me,
because they teach human rules as though they were my laws!’”
The Things That Make a Person Unclean(D)
10 Then Jesus called the crowd to him and said to them, “Listen and understand! 11 It is not what goes into your mouth that makes you ritually unclean; rather, what comes out of it makes you unclean.”
12 Then the disciples came to him and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees had their feelings hurt by what you said?”
13 “Every plant which my Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled up,” answered Jesus. 14 (E)“Don't worry about them! They are blind leaders of the blind; and when one blind man leads another, both fall into a ditch.”
15 Peter spoke up, “Explain this saying to us.”
16 Jesus said to them, “You are still no more intelligent than the others. 17 Don't you understand? Anything that goes into your mouth goes into your stomach and then on out of your body. 18 (F)But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these are the things that make you ritually unclean. 19 For from your heart come the evil ideas which lead you to kill, commit adultery, and do other immoral things; to rob, lie, and slander others. 20 These are the things that make you unclean. But to eat without washing your hands as they say you should—this doesn't make you unclean.”
A Woman's Faith(G)
21 Jesus left that place and went off to the territory near the cities of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman who lived in that region came to him. “Son of David!” she cried out. “Have mercy on me, sir! My daughter has a demon and is in a terrible condition.”
23 But Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples came to him and begged him, “Send her away! She is following us and making all this noise!”
24 Then Jesus replied, “I have been sent only to the lost sheep of the people of Israel.”
25 At this the woman came and fell at his feet. “Help me, sir!” she said.
26 Jesus answered, “It isn't right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.”
27 “That's true, sir,” she answered, “but even the dogs eat the leftovers that fall from their masters' table.”
28 So Jesus answered her, “You are a woman of great faith! What you want will be done for you.” And at that very moment her daughter was healed.
Jesus Heals Many People
29 Jesus left there and went along by Lake Galilee. He climbed a hill and sat down. 30 Large crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the dumb, and many other sick people, whom they placed at Jesus' feet; and he healed them. 31 The people were amazed as they saw the dumb speaking, the crippled made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they praised the God of Israel.
Jesus Feeds Four Thousand(H)
32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away without feeding them, for they might faint on their way home.”
33 The disciples asked him, “Where will we find enough food in this desert to feed this crowd?”
34 “How much bread do you have?” Jesus asked.
“Seven loaves,” they answered, “and a few small fish.”
35 So Jesus ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks to God, broke them, and gave them to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the people. 37 They all ate and had enough. Then the disciples took up seven baskets full of pieces left over. 38 The number of men who ate was four thousand, not counting the women and children.
39 Then Jesus sent the people away, got into a boat, and went to the territory of Magadan.

传统与诫命
15 那时，有些法利赛人和经文士从耶路撒冷来到耶稣那里，说： 2 “你的门徒们为什么违犯古人的传统呢？他们吃饭[a]的时候不洗手！”
3 耶稣回答他们，说：“你们为什么为了你们的传统而违犯神的命令呢？ 4 神吩咐过
‘你要孝敬你的父母’[b]，又说
‘咒骂父亲或母亲的人，必须处死。’[c] 5 你们却说‘如果有人对父亲或母亲说：我本该给你的已经做了圣殿奉献， 6 他就可以完全不孝敬父母[d]。’这样，为了你们的传统，你们就废弃了神的话语[e][f]。 7 你们这些伪善的人哪！以赛亚指着你们所说的预言是对的，他说：
8 ‘这子民[g]用嘴唇尊重我，
他们的心却远离我。
9 他们敬拜我也是徒然的，
因为他们把人的规条当做教义教导人[h]。’[i]”
污秽由心而出
10 耶稣召来众人，对他们说：“你们当听，也当领悟： 11 不是进到口里的使人污秽；而是从口里出来的，这才使人污秽。”
12 那时，门徒们前来对他说：“法利赛人听了这话很反感[j]，你知道吗？”
13 耶稣回答说：“凡不是我天父所栽种的，都将被连根拔起。 14 随他们吧！他们是给瞎子领路的瞎子[k]。如果瞎子给瞎子领路，两个人都会掉进坑里。”
15 彼得对耶稣说：“请把这个比喻解释给我们听。”
16 耶稣说：“到如今，你们也无知吗？ 17 你们难道不明白：一切进入口里的，要进到肚子，然后被排到厕所； 18 而从口里出来的，是由心里发出的，这些才使人污秽。 19 因为从心里发出种种恶念：杀人、通奸、淫乱、偷窃、做伪证、毁谤， 20 这些才会使人污秽；而不洗手就吃饭，不会使人污秽。”
外邦妇人的信心
21 耶稣离开那地方，退到提尔和西顿地区。 22 这时候，忽然来了一个住在那地区的迦南妇人，她呼叫说：“主啊，大卫的后裔[l]，可怜我吧！我的女儿有鬼魔附身，痛苦万分。”
23 耶稣一句话也不回应，他的门徒们上前来求他，说：“这妇人一直跟在我们后面喊叫，请让她走吧。”
24 耶稣回答说：“我奉差派，只到以色列家迷失的羊那里去。”
25 那妇人来拜他，说：“主啊，求你帮助我！”
26 耶稣回答说：“拿儿女的饼扔给小狗，是不合宜的。”
27 妇人说：“是的，主啊！不过连小狗也吃得到主人桌子上掉下来的碎渣！”
28 于是耶稣回答她，说：“哦，妇人哪，你这信心[m]是大的！照你所愿的，给你成全吧。”从那一刻起，她的女儿就痊愈了。
在加利利湖边治病
29 耶稣离开那地方，来到加利利湖边[n]，上了山坐在那里。 30 有一大群人来到他面前，带着瘸腿的、瞎眼的、残疾的、聋哑的还有许多其他人，把他们放在耶稣脚前；耶稣就使他们痊愈了。 31 结果众人看见聋哑的说话，残疾的康复，瘸腿的行走，瞎眼的看见，都感到惊奇，就荣耀以色列的神。
使四千人吃饱
32 耶稣召来他的门徒们，说：“我怜悯这群人，因为他们与我在一起已经三天了，也没有什么东西吃。我不愿意让他们饿着肚子回去，恐怕他们在路上晕倒。”
33 门徒们说：“我们在旷野，从哪里得这么多的食物让这么大一群人吃饱呢？”
34 耶稣问他们：“你们有多少饼？”
他们回答说：“七个，还有几条小鱼。”
35 耶稣就吩咐众人坐在地上， 36 于是拿起这七个饼和几条小鱼，祝谢以后，掰开，不断递给门徒们，他们又分给众人。 37 大家都吃了，并且吃饱了。然后，他们把剩下的碎块收拾起来，装满了七个筐子。 38 吃的人，不算妇女和孩子，就有四千。 39 耶稣遣散了人群以后，就上了船，来到茉加丹[o]地区。

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.
