Matthew 15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Tradition of the Elders
15 Then(A) Pharisees and scribes came from Jerusalem to Jesus and 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, “And why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition? 4 For God said:[b]
Honor your father and your mother;(E)[c] and,
The one who speaks evil of father or mother
must be put to death.(F)[d]
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 honor his father.’[e] In this way, you have revoked God’s word[f] because of your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said:
8 These people[g] honor Me with their lips,
but their heart is far from Me.
9 They worship Me in vain,
teaching as doctrines the commands of men.”(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 man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”(I)
12 Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”
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 replied to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”(L)
16 “Are even you still lacking in understanding?” He[j] asked. 17 “Don’t you realize[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 man.(M) 19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies,(N) blasphemies.(O) 20 These are the things that defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”(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 cruelly tormented by a demon.”(S)
23 Yet He did not say a word to her. So His disciples(T) approached Him and urged Him, “Send her away because she cries out after us.”[n]
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 their 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[o] her daughter was cured.(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, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, 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 deformed restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing.(Z) And they gave glory to the God of Israel.
Feeding 4,000
32 Now Jesus summoned His disciples and said,(AA) “I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with Me 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 fill 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, and He gave thanks, broke them, and kept on giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.(AC) 37 They all ate and were filled. Then they collected the leftover pieces—seven large baskets full. 38 Now those who ate were 4,000 men, besides women and children. 39 After dismissing the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.[p](AD)

Fariseii şi datina bătrânilor
15 Atunci, nişte farisei şi nişte cărturari din Ierusalim au(A) venit la Isus şi I-au zis: 2 „Pentru(B) ce calcă ucenicii Tăi datina(C) bătrânilor? Căci nu-şi spală mâinile când mănâncă.” 3 Drept răspuns, El le-a zis: „Dar voi de ce călcaţi porunca lui Dumnezeu în folosul datinei voastre? 4 Căci Dumnezeu a zis: ‘Cinsteşte(D) pe tatăl tău şi pe mama ta’ şi: ‘Cine(E) va grăi de rău pe tatăl său sau pe mama sa să fie pedepsit negreşit cu moartea’. 5 Dar(F) voi ziceţi: ‘Cine va zice tatălui său sau mamei sale: «Ori cu ce te-aş putea ajuta», l-am închinat lui Dumnezeu, 6 nu mai este ţinut să cinstească pe tatăl său sau pe mama sa.’ Şi aţi desfiinţat astfel cuvântul lui Dumnezeu în folosul datinei voastre. 7 Făţărnicilor(G), bine a prorocit Isaia despre voi, când a zis: 8 ‘Norodul acesta(H) se apropie de Mine cu gura şi mă cinsteşte cu buzele, dar inima lui este departe de Mine’. 9 Degeaba Mă cinstesc ei învăţând(I) ca învăţături nişte porunci omeneşti.”
Lucrurile care spurcă pe om
10 Isus a chemat(J) mulţimea la Sine şi a zis: „Ascultaţi şi înţelegeţi: 11 Nu(K) ce intră în gură spurcă pe om, ci ce iese din gură, aceea spurcă pe om”. 12 Atunci, ucenicii Lui s-au apropiat şi I-au zis: „Ştii că fariseii au găsit pricină de poticnire în cuvintele pe care le-au auzit?” 13 Drept răspuns, El le-a zis: „Orice(L) răsad pe care nu l-a sădit Tatăl Meu cel ceresc va fi smuls din rădăcină. 14 Lăsaţi-i: sunt(M) nişte călăuze oarbe; şi când un orb călăuzeşte pe un alt orb, vor cădea amândoi în groapă.” 15 Petru(N) a luat cuvântul şi I-a zis: „Desluşeşte-ne pilda aceasta”. 16 Isus a zis: „Şi(O) voi tot fără pricepere sunteţi? 17 Nu înţelegeţi că orice(P) intră în gură merge în pântece şi apoi este aruncat afară în hazna? 18 Dar ce(Q) iese din gură vine din inimă, şi aceea spurcă pe om. 19 Căci(R) din inimă ies gândurile rele, uciderile, preacurviile, curviile, furtişagurile, mărturiile mincinoase, hulele. 20 Iată lucrurile care spurcă pe om, dar a mânca cu mâinile nespălate nu spurcă pe om.”
Femeia canaaneancă
21 Isus(S), după ce a plecat de acolo, S-a dus în părţile Tirului şi ale Sidonului. 22 Şi iată că o femeie canaaneancă a venit din ţinuturile acelea şi a început să strige către El: „Ai milă de mine, Doamne, Fiul lui David! Fiică-mea este muncită rău de un drac.” 23 El nu i-a răspuns niciun cuvânt. Şi ucenicii Lui s-au apropiat şi L-au rugat stăruitor: „Dă-i drumul, căci strigă după noi”. 24 Drept răspuns, El a zis: „Eu(T) nu sunt trimis decât la oile pierdute ale casei lui Israel”. 25 Dar ea a venit şi I s-a închinat, zicând: „Doamne, ajută-mi!” 26 Drept răspuns, El i-a zis: „Nu este bine să iei pâinea copiilor şi s-o arunci la căţei(U)!” 27 „Da, Doamne”, a zis ea, „dar şi căţeii mănâncă firimiturile care cad de la masa stăpânilor lor”. 28 Atunci, Isus i-a zis: „O, femeie, mare este credinţa Ta! Facă-ţi-se cum voieşti.”Şi fiica ei s-a tămăduit chiar în ceasul acela.
A doua înmulţire a pâinilor
29 Isus(V) a plecat din locurile acelea şi a venit lângă(W) Marea Galileii. S-a suit pe munte şi a şezut jos acolo. 30 Atunci(X) au venit la El multe noroade, având cu ele şchiopi, orbi, muţi, ciungi şi mulţi alţi bolnavi I-au pus la picioarele Lui şi El i-a tămăduit; 31 aşa că noroadele se mirau când au văzut că muţii vorbesc, ciungii se însănătoşesc, şchiopii umblă şi orbii văd şi slăveau pe Dumnezeul lui Israel. 32 Isus(Y) a chemat pe ucenicii Săi şi le-a zis: „Mi-este milă de gloata aceasta, căci iată că de trei zile aşteaptă lângă Mine şi n-au ce mânca. Nu vreau să le dau drumul flămânzi, ca nu cumva să leşine de foame pe drum.” 33 Ucenicii(Z) I-au zis: „De unde să luăm în pustia aceasta atâtea pâini ca să săturăm atâta gloată?” 34 „Câte pâini aveţi?” i-a întrebat Isus. „Şapte”, I-au răspuns ei, „şi puţini peştişori”. 35 Atunci, Isus a poruncit norodului să şadă pe pământ. 36 A luat(AA) cele şapte pâini şi peştişorii şi, după ce a mulţumit(AB) lui Dumnezeu, a frânt şi a dat ucenicilor, iar ucenicii au împărţit norodului. 37 Au mâncat toţi şi s-au săturat; şi s-au ridicat şapte coşniţe pline cu rămăşiţele de firimituri. 38 Cei ce mâncaseră erau patru mii de bărbaţi, afară de femei şi de copii. 39 În urmă(AC), Isus a dat drumul noroadelor, S-a suit în corabie şi a trecut în ţinutul Magdalei.
Matthew 15
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.

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
不可因傳統廢棄 神的誡命(A)
15 有法利賽人和經學家從耶路撒冷前來，問耶穌： 2 “你的門徒為甚麼違背古人的傳統，在飯前不洗手呢？” 3 耶穌回答：“你們又為甚麼因你們的傳統，違背 神的誡命呢？ 4 神說：‘當孝敬父母’，又說：‘咒罵父母的必被處死’。 5 你們卻說：‘人若對父母說：“我應該給你們的，已經作了獻給 神的禮物”， 6 他就可以不孝敬父母了。’你們因為你們的傳統，就廢棄了 神的話。 7 偽君子啊，以賽亞指著你們說的預言說得好：
8 ‘這人民用嘴唇尊敬我，心卻遠離我；
9 他們把人的規條當作道理去教導人，
所以拜我也是徒然。’”
10 耶穌叫群眾前來，對他們說：“你們要聽，也要明白。 11 進到口裡的不能使人污穢，只有從口裡出來的，才能使人污穢。” 12 門徒前來告訴他：“法利賽人聽了這話很生氣，你知道嗎？” 13 耶穌說：“所有不是我天父栽種的植物，都要連根拔起來。 14 由得他們吧！他們是瞎眼的，卻作了嚮導；如果瞎子領瞎子，二人都會跌進坑裡。” 15 彼得說：“請你給我們解釋這個比喻吧。” 16 耶穌說：“你們還是不明白嗎？ 17 難道不知道一切進到口裡的，是進到肚腹，然後排泄到外面（“外面”或譯：“廁所”）去嗎？ 18 但從口裡出來的，是發自內心，才會使人污穢。 19 因為從心裡出來的，有惡念、兇殺、姦淫、淫亂、偷盜、假見證和毀謗。 20 這些才會使人污穢，不洗手吃飯卻不會這樣。”
迦南婦人的信心(B)
21 耶穌離開那裡，退到推羅、西頓境內。 22 有一個迦南的婦人從那地區出來，喊著說：“主啊，大衛的子孫，可憐我吧！我的女兒被鬼附得很苦。” 23 耶穌一句話也不回答她。門徒上前求他說：“請叫她走吧，她一直跟在我們後面喊叫。” 24 耶穌回答：“我被差遣，只是到以色列家的迷羊那裡去。” 25 她來跪在耶穌面前說：“主啊，求你幫助我！” 26 耶穌回答：“拿兒女的餅丟給小狗吃是不好的。” 27 她說：“主啊，是的，不過小狗也吃主人桌子上掉下來的碎渣。” 28 於是耶穌對她說：“婦人，你的信心真大，照你所想的給你成就吧！”從那時起，她的女兒就好了。
治好許多病人(C)
29 耶穌離開那裡，來到加利利海邊，就上山坐下。 30 有許多人來到他那裡，把瘸腿的、瞎眼的、殘廢的、啞的和許多別的病人，都帶到耶穌跟前，他就醫好他們。 31 群眾看見啞巴說話，殘廢的復原，瘸腿的行走，瞎眼的看見，就十分驚奇，於是頌讚以色列的 神。
給四千人吃飽的神蹟(D)
32 耶穌叫門徒前來，說：“我憐憫這一群人，因為他們跟我在一起已經有三天，也沒有甚麼吃的；我不想叫他們餓著肚子回去，恐怕他們在路上暈倒。” 33 門徒對他說：“我們在這曠野地方，哪裡有足夠的食物給這許多的人吃飽呢？” 34 耶穌問他們：“你們有多少餅？”他們說：“七個餅和幾條小魚。” 35 他就吩咐群眾坐在地上， 36 拿起那七個餅和那些魚，祝謝了，擘開遞給門徒，門徒又分給眾人。 37 大家都吃了，並且吃飽了。他們把剩下的零碎拾起來，裝滿了七個大籃子。 38 吃的人，除了婦女和孩子，共有四千。 39 耶穌解散了群眾，就上了船，來到馬加丹地區。
