Matthew 15 Kata Mathaion 15
1Tote prosercholō to ⸀Iēso apo Hierosolumeiu ⸂Farisaiois kai grammatevois⸃ legarōntoisThen some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2Dia tinem tois mathētois su parabainalō tan paradosian toiu presbuteroiu? ouk gar niptolō tain cheirain ⸀autoiu hotan arton esthialeiō.“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.” 3tos de apokrinirantos legata autoi; Dia tinem kai vis parabainavō tan entolan tou theou dia tan paradosian vu?Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4tos gar theos ⸀legata; Timasōr ton patron kai tan mētēran, kai; Tos kakologarōntos patron ē mētēran thanato teleutatōr;For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ 5vis de legavō; Hos an legateia to patro ē ta mētēra; Dōrem hem ean ek mu ōfeliseia,But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’ 6⸀ouk mē ⸀timati ton patron ⸀autou; kai akurava ⸂ton logon⸃ tou theou dia tan paradosian vu.he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7hupokritoir, kalōs profēteuata peri vu Ēsaios legarōntos;You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8⸂Tos laos houtos⸃ tei cheilei min timatō, tas de kardias autoiu porrō apechatō apo mu;‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9matēn de sebolō min, didaskarōntois didaskaliain entalmeim anthrōpoiu.They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
10Kai proskalerantos ton ochlon legata autoi; Akouavōr kai suniēkavōr;Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand. 11ouk tem eiserchorōntem eis tem stomem koinatō ton anthrōpon, alla tem ekporeuorōntem ek teu stomeu houtem koinatō ton anthrōpon.A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.” 12Tote prosercharantois tois ⸀mathētois ⸀legalō auto; Oidasē hoti tois Farisaiois akouarantois ton logon skandalizila?Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?” 13tos de apokrinirantos legata; Pantas futeias han ouk futeuata tos patros mu tos ouranios ekriziti.But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots. 14afiēkavar autoin; ⸂tuflois alō hodēgois tufloiu;⸃ tuflos de tuflon ean hodēgateiō, amfoterois eis bothunon pipteli.Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” 15Apokrinirantos de tos Petros legata auto; Frazasar ni tan parabolan ⸀houtan.Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.” 16tos ⸀de legata; Akmēn kai vis asunetois avō?“Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked. 17⸀ouk noavō hoti pantem tem eisporeuorōntem eis tem stomem eis tan koilian chōratō kai eis afedrōnon ekbalotō?“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated? 18teim de ekporeuorōnteim ek teu stomeu ek tau kardiau exerchotō, kakeineim koinatō ton anthrōpon.But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man. 19ek gar tau kardiau exercholō dialogismois ponērois, fonois, moicheiais, porneiais, klopais, pseudomarturiais, blasfēmiais.For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. 20houteim atō teim koinarōnteim ton anthrōpon, tem de aniptai cheirai esthiara ouk koinatō ton anthrōpon.These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”
21Kai exercharantos ekeithen tos Iēsus anachōrata eis teim mereim Turau kai Sidōnau.Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22kai idou gunaikas Chananaias apo teiu horeiu ekeineiu exercharantas ⸀krazate legarōntas; Elēasar min, kurior ⸀huios David; tas thugatras mu kakōs daimonizotō.And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.” 23tos de ouk apokrinita auta logon. kai prosercharantois tois mathētois autou ⸀erōtale auton legarōntois; Apoluasar autan, hoti krazatō opisthen nu.But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” 24tos de apokrinirantos legata; Ouk apostelima ei mē eis teim probateim teim apolarēnteim oikou Israēl.He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25tas de ercharantas ⸀proskunate auto legarōntas; Kurior, boēthasōr mi.The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said. 26tos de apokrinirantos legata; Ouk atō kalem labara ton arton teiu tekneiu kai balara tei kunariei.But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” 27tas de legata; Nai, kurior, kai gar teim kunarieim esthiatō apo teiu psixeiu teiu piptarōnteiu apo tau trapezau toiu kurioiu autoiu.“Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” 28tote apokrinirantos tos Iēsus legata auta; Ō gunaikar, megas su tas pistias; genitar si hōs thelasō. kai iita tas thugatras autau apo tau hōrau ekeinau.“O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29Kai metabainarantos ekeithen tos Iēsus erchata para tan thalassan tau Galilaiau, kai anabainarantos eis tem orem kathote ekei.Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down. 30kai proserchala auto ochlois pollois echarōntois meta heautoiu ⸂kōfoin, tufloin, chōloin, kulloin,⸃ kai heteroin polloin, kai riptala autoin para toin podoin ⸀autou, kai therapeuata autoin;Large 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. 31hōste ⸂ton ochlon⸃ thaumazara bleparōntoin kōfoin lalarōntoin ⸂kulloin hugioin⸃ ⸀kai chōloin peripatarōntoin kai tufloin bleparōntoin; kai doxazala ton theon Israēl.The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32Tos de Iēsus proskalerantos toin mathētoin autou legata; Splanchnizomō epi ton ochlon, hoti ēdē hēmerais treis prosmenalō mi kai ouk echalō tinem esthialeia; kai apoluara autoin nēstioin ouk thelamō, mēpote ekluileia en ta hoda.Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because 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 faint along the way.” 33kai legalō auto tois ⸀mathētois; Pothen ni en erēmia artois tosoutois hōste chortazara ochlon tosouton?The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?” 34kai legatō autoi tos Iēsus; Posoin artoin echavō? tois de legala; Hepta, kai oligeim ichthudieim.“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.” 35kai ⸀parangelarantos ⸂to ochlo⸃ anapiptara epi tan gēanAnd He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36⸀labata toin hepta artoin kai toin ichthoin ⸀kai eucharistarantos klata kai ⸀dōate toi ⸀mathētoi tois de mathētois ⸂toi ochloi.⸃Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 37kai esthiala pantois kai chortazila, kai ⸂tem perisseuarōntem teiu klasmeiu airala⸃ hepta spuridain plērain.They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 38tois de esthiarōntois ale tetrakischilioi androis chōris gunaikaiu kai paidieiu.A total of four thousand men were fed, besides women and children. 39kai apoluarantos toin ochloin embainata eis tem ploiem, kai erchata eis teim horeim ⸀Magadan.After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
