God’s Commandments, Man’s Traditions
15 (A)Then some Pharisees and scribes *came to Jesus (B)from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they (C)do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3 And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘(D)Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘(E)He who speaks evil of father or mother is to [a]be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever you might benefit from me [b]is given to God,” 6 he need not [c]honor his father.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you:
8 ‘(F)This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me.
9 But in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as (G)doctrines the commands of men.’”
10 After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, “Hear and understand. 11 (H)It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
12 Then the disciples *came and *said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were [d]offended when they heard this statement?” 13 But He answered and said, “(I)Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. 14 Let them alone; (J)they are blind guides [e]of the blind. And (K)if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
The Heart of Man
15 Now Peter answered and said to Him, “(L)Explain the parable to us.” 16 And [f]Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in understanding also? 17 Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and goes into the sewer? 18 But (M)the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. 19 (N)For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false witness, slanders. 20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
The Canaanite Woman
21 (O)And going away from there, Jesus withdrew into the district of (P)Tyre and (Q)Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, (R)Son of David; my daughter is cruelly (S)demon-possessed.” 23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and were pleading with Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting [g]at us.” 24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to (T)the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and [h](U)was bowing down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26 And He answered and said, “It is not [i]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 But she said, “Yes, Lord; [j]but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, (V)your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed [k]at once.
Jesus Heals the Crowds
29 (W)And departing from there, Jesus went along by (X)the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there. 30 And [l]large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and (Y)He healed them. 31 So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled [m]restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they (Z)glorified the God of Israel.
Jesus Feeds Four Thousand
32 (AA)And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “(AB)I feel compassion for the crowd, because they [n]have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33 And the disciples *said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?” 34 And Jesus *said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And He directed the crowd to [o]sit down on the ground; 36 and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and (AC)giving thanks, He broke them and kept giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large (AD)baskets full. 38 And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into (AE)the boat and came to the region of (AF)Magadan.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
传统与诫命
15 有几个法利赛人和律法教师从耶路撒冷来质问耶稣: 2 “为什么你的门徒吃饭前不行洗手礼,破坏祖先的传统呢?”
3 耶稣回答说:“为什么你们拘守传统而违背上帝的诫命呢? 4 上帝说,‘要孝敬父母’,又说,‘咒骂父母的,必被处死。’ 5 你们却说,‘人如果把供养父母的钱奉献给上帝, 6 他就不必供养父母。’你们这是用传统来废掉上帝的诫命。 7 你们这些伪君子,以赛亚指着你们说的预言一点不错,
8 “‘这些人嘴上尊崇我,
心却远离我,
9 他们的教导无非是人的规条,
他们敬拜我也是枉然。’”
10 耶稣召集了众人,对他们说:“你们要听,也要明白。 11 入口的东西不会使人污秽,从口中出来的才会使人污秽。”
12 门徒上前对祂说:“你知道吗?法利赛人听见你的话很反感。”
13 耶稣回答说:“凡不是我天父栽种的都要被连根拔起来。 14 随便他们吧!他们是瞎眼的向导。瞎子给瞎子领路,二人都会掉进坑里。”
15 彼得对耶稣说:“请给我们解释一下这个比喻。”
16 耶稣说:“你们还不明白吗? 17 岂不知入口的东西都是进到肚子里,然后排泄到厕所里吗? 18 可是,从口中出来的乃是发自内心,会使人污秽。 19 因为从心里出来的有恶念、谋杀、通奸、淫乱、偷盗、假见证和毁谤, 20 这些东西才使人污秽。不洗手吃饭并不会使人污秽。”
迦南妇人的信心
21 耶稣从那里退到泰尔和西顿境内。 22 那地方有个迦南的妇人前来大声恳求耶稣:“主啊!大卫的后裔啊!可怜我吧!我的女儿被鬼附身,受尽折磨!” 23 耶稣却一言不发。门徒上前求祂说:“请让她走吧!她老是在后面喊叫。”
24 耶稣说:“我奉差遣只是来寻找以色列家迷失的羊。”
25 那妇人上前跪下,说:“主啊!求你帮帮我吧!”
26 耶稣答道:“把儿女的食物丢给狗吃,不合适。”
27 妇人说:“主啊,不错,可是狗也吃主人饭桌上掉下来的碎渣呀!”
28 耶稣说:“妇人,你的信心真大!我答应你的要求。”就在那一刻,她女儿就好了。
耶稣使四千人吃饱
29 耶稣离开那里,来到加利利湖边,上了山,在那里坐下。 30 大群的人把瘸子、瞎子、残疾的、哑巴及许多别的病人带来,放在祂脚前,祂就治好了他们。 31 大家看见哑巴说话,残疾的复原,瘸子走路,瞎子看见,都很惊奇,就赞美以色列的上帝。
32 耶稣把门徒召集过来,对他们说:“我怜悯这些人,他们跟我在一起已经三天,没有任何吃的。我不愿让他们饿着肚子回去,以免他们在路上体力不支。”
33 门徒说:“在这荒野,我们到哪里找足够的食物给这么多人吃呢?”
34 耶稣问:“你们有多少饼?”
门徒答道:“七个,还有几条小鱼。”
35 耶稣便吩咐大家坐在地上。 36 祂拿着那七个饼和几条鱼祝谢后,掰开,递给门徒,门徒再分给大家。 37 大家都吃了,并且吃饱了,剩下的零碎装满了七个筐子。 38 当时吃饭的,除了妇女和小孩,共有四千男人。 39 随后,耶稣叫众人散去,自己坐船去了马加丹地区。

New International Version
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.

Nueva Versión Internacional
Lo limpio y lo impuro(A)
15 Se acercaron a Jesús algunos fariseos y maestros de la Ley que habían llegado de Jerusalén y preguntaron:
2 —¿Por qué quebrantan tus discípulos la tradición de los líderes religiosos? ¡Comen sin cumplir primero el rito de lavarse las manos!
3 Jesús contestó:
—¿Y por qué ustedes quebrantan el mandamiento de Dios a causa de la tradición? 4 Dios dijo: “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre”[a] y también: “El que maldiga a su padre o a su madre será condenado a muerte”.[b] 5 Ustedes, en cambio, enseñan que un hijo puede decir a su padre o a su madre: “Cualquier ayuda que pudiera darte ya la he dedicado como ofrenda a Dios”. 6 En ese caso, el tal hijo no tiene que honrar a su padre.[c] Así por causa de la tradición anulan ustedes la palabra de Dios. 7 ¡Hipócritas! Tenía razón Isaías cuando profetizó de ustedes:
8 »“Este pueblo me honra con los labios,
pero su corazón está lejos de mí.
9 En vano me adoran;
sus enseñanzas no son más que reglas humanas”».[d]
10 Jesús llamó a la multitud y dijo:
—Escuchen y entiendan. 11 Lo que contamina a una persona no es lo que entra en la boca, sino lo que sale de ella.
12 Entonces se le acercaron los discípulos y dijeron:
—¿Sabes que los fariseos se escandalizaron al oír eso?
13 —Toda planta que mi Padre celestial no haya plantado será arrancada de raíz —respondió—. 14 Déjenlos; son guías ciegos.[e] Y si un ciego guía a otro ciego, ambos caerán en un hoyo.
15 —Explícanos la comparación —pidió Pedro.
16 —¿Tampoco ustedes pueden todavía entenderlo? —dijo Jesús—. 17 ¿No se dan cuenta de que todo lo que entra en la boca va al estómago y después se echa en la letrina? 18 Pero lo que sale de la boca viene del corazón y contamina a la persona. 19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, los homicidios, los adulterios, la inmoralidad sexual, los robos, los falsos testimonios y las calumnias. 20 Estas son las cosas que contaminan a la persona y no el comer sin lavarse las manos.
La fe de la mujer cananea(B)
21 Partiendo de allí, Jesús se retiró a la región de Tiro y Sidón. 22 De esa región salió a su encuentro una mujer cananea gritando:
—¡Señor, Hijo de David, ten compasión de mí! Mi hija sufre terriblemente por estar endemoniada.
23 Jesús no respondió ni una palabra. Así que sus discípulos se acercaron a él y le rogaron:
—Despídela, porque viene detrás de nosotros gritando.
24 —No fui enviado sino a las ovejas perdidas del pueblo de Israel —contestó Jesús.
25 La mujer se acercó y arrodillándose delante de él, suplicó:
—¡Señor, ayúdame!
26 Él respondió:
—No está bien quitarles el pan a los hijos y echárselo a los perros.
27 —Sí, Señor —respondió la mujer—, pero hasta los perros comen las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus amos.
28 —¡Mujer, qué grande es tu fe! —contestó Jesús—. Que se cumpla lo que quieres.
Y desde ese mismo momento quedó sana su hija.
Jesús alimenta a cuatro mil(C)(D)
29 Salió Jesús de allí y llegó a orillas del lago de Galilea. Luego subió a la montaña y se sentó. 30 Se acercaron grandes multitudes que llevaban cojos, ciegos, lisiados, mudos y muchos enfermos más; los pusieron a sus pies y él los sanó. 31 La gente se asombraba al ver a los mudos hablar, a los lisiados recobrar la salud, a los cojos andar y a los ciegos ver. Y alababan al Dios de Israel.
32 Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo:
—Siento compasión de esta gente porque ya llevan tres días conmigo y no tienen nada que comer. No quiero despedirlos sin comer, no sea que se desmayen por el camino.
33 Los discípulos objetaron:
—¿Dónde podríamos conseguir en este lugar despoblado suficiente pan para dar de comer a toda esta multitud?
34 —¿Cuántos panes tienen? —preguntó Jesús.
—Siete y unos pocos pescaditos —respondieron ellos.
35 Luego Jesús mandó que la gente se sentara en el suelo. 36 Tomando los siete panes y los pescados, dio gracias, los partió y se los fue dando a los discípulos. Estos, a su vez, los distribuyeron a la gente. 37 Todos comieron hasta quedar satisfechos. Después los discípulos recogieron siete cestas llenas de pedazos que sobraron. 38 Los que comieron eran cuatro mil hombres, sin contar a las mujeres y a los niños. 39 Después de despedir a la gente, Jesús subió a la barca y se fue a la región de Magadán.[f]
