HOLY BIBLE: Matthew 15 (original) (raw)

10 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν ὄχλον εἶπεν αὐτοῖς: ἀκούετε καὶ συνίετε: 11 οὐ τὸ εἰσερχόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος, τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον. 12 τότε προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ: οἶδας ὅτι οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον ἐσκανδαλίσθησαν; 13 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν: πᾶσα φυτεία ἣν οὐκ ἐφύτευσεν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκριζωθήσεται. 14 ἄφετε αὐτούς: τυφλοί εἰσιν ὁδηγοί τυφλῶν: τυφλὸς δὲ τυφλὸν ἐὰν ὁδηγῇ, ἀμφότεροι εἰς βόθυνον πεσοῦνται. 15 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ: φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολήν. ταύτην 16 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: ἀκμὴν καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀσύνετοί ἐστε; 17 οὐ νοεῖτε ὅτι πᾶν τὸ εἰσπορευόμενον εἰς τὸ στόμα εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν χωρεῖ καὶ εἰς ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκβάλλεται; 18 τὰ δὲ ἐκπορευόμενα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ἐκ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχεται, κἀκεῖνα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον. 19 ἐκ γὰρ τῆς καρδίας ἐξέρχονται διαλογισμοὶ πονηροί, φόνοι, μοιχεῖαι, πορνεῖαι, κλοπαί, ψευδομαρτυρίαι, βλασφημίαι. 20 ταῦτά ἐστιν τὰ κοινοῦντα τὸν ἄνθρωπον: τὸ δὲ ἀνίπτοις χερσὶν φαγεῖν οὐ κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον.

10 Then he gathered the multitude about him, and said to them, Listen to this, and grasp what it means. 11 It is not what goes into a man’s mouth that makes him unclean; what makes a man unclean is what comes out of his mouth. 12 Thereupon his disciples came and said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard thy saying, took it amiss? 13 He answered, No plant but must be rooted up, if my heavenly Father has not planted it. 14 Let them say what they will; they are blind men leading the blind, and when one blind man leads another, they will fall into the ditch together. 15 Peter answered him, Explain this parable to us. 16 What, he said, are you still without wits? 17 Do you not observe that any uncleanness which finds its way into a man’s mouth travels down into his belly, and so is cast into the sewer; 18 whereas all that comes out of his mouth comes from the heart, and it is that which makes a man unclean? 19 It is from the heart that his wicked designs come, his sins of murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury and blasphemy. 20 It is these make a man unclean; he is not made unclean by eating without washing his hands.

10 Et convocatis ad se turbis, dixit eis: Audite, et intelligite. 11 Non quod intrat in os, coinquinat hominem: sed quod procedit ex ore, hoc coinquinat hominem. 12 Tunc accedentes discipuli ejus, dixerunt ei: Scis quia pharisæi audito verbo hoc, scandalizati sunt? 13 At ille respondens ait: Omnis plantatio, quam non plantavit Pater meus cælestis, eradicabitur. 14 Sinite illos: cæci sunt, et duces cæcorum; cæcus autem si cæco ducatum præstet, ambo in foveam cadunt. 15 Respondens autem Petrus dixit ei: Edissere nobis parabolam istam. 16 At ille dixit: Adhuc et vos sine intellectu estis? 17 Non intelligitis quia omne quod in os intrat, in ventrem vadit, et in secessum emittitur? 18 Quæ autem procedunt de ore, de corde exeunt, et ea coinquinant hominem: 19 de corde enim exeunt cogitationes malæ, homicidia, adulteria, fornicationes, furta, falsa testimonia, blasphemiæ: 20 hæc sunt, quæ coinquinant hominem. Non lotis autem manibus manducare, non coinquinat hominem.

21 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐκεῖθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὰ μέρη Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος. 22 καὶ ἰδοὺ γυνὴ Χαναναία ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων ἐκείνων ἐξελθοῦσα ἔκραζεν λέγουσα: ἐλέησόν με, κύριε, υἱὸς Δαυίδ: ἡ θυγάτηρ μου κακῶς δαιμονίζεται. 23 ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῇ λόγον. καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἠρώτουν αὐτὸν λέγοντες: ἀπόλυσον αὐτήν, ὅτι κράζει ὄπισθεν ἡμῶν. 24 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν: οὐκ ἀπεστάλην εἰ μὴ εἰς τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἀπολωλότα οἴκου Ἰσραήλ. 25 ἡ δὲ ἐλθοῦσα προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγουσα: κύριε, βοήθει μοι. 26 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν: οὐκ ἔστιν καλὸν λαβεῖν τὸν ἄρτον τῶν τέκνων καὶ βαλεῖν τοῖς κυναρίοις. 27 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν: ναί, κύριε: καὶ γὰρ τὰ κυνάρια ἐσθίει ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τῶν κυρίων αὐτῶν. 28 τότε ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ: ὦ γύναι, μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις: γενηθήτω σοι ὡς θέλεις. καὶ ἰάθη ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης.

21 After this, Jesus left those parts and withdrew into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And here a woman, a Chanaanite by birth, who came from that country, cried aloud, Have pity on me, Lord, thou son of David. My daughter is cruelly troubled by an evil spirit. 23 He gave her no word in answer; but his disciples came to him and pleaded with him; Rid us of her, they said, she is following us with her cries. 24 And he answered, My errand is only to the lost sheep that are of the house of Israel. 25 Then the woman came up and said, falling at his feet, Lord, help me. 26 He answered, It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs. 27 Ah yes, Lord, she said; the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table. 28 And at that Jesus answered her, Woman, for this great faith of thine, let thy will be granted. And from that hour her daughter was cured.[4]

21 Et egressus inde Jesus secessit in partes Tyri et Sidonis. 22 Et ecce mulier chananæa a finibus illis egressa clamavit, dicens ei: Miserere mei, Domine fili David: filia mea male a dæmonio vexatur. 23 Qui non respondit ei verbum. Et accedentes discipuli ejus rogabant eum dicentes: Dimitte eam: quia clamat post nos. 24 Ipse autem respondens ait: Non sum missus nisi ad oves, quæ perierunt domus Israël. 25 At illa venit, et adoravit eum, dicens: Domine, adjuva me. 26 Qui respondens ait: Non est bonum sumere panem filiorum, et mittere canibus. 27 At illa dixit: Etiam Domine: nam et catelli edunt de micis quæ cadunt de mensa dominorum suorum. 28 Tunc respondens Jesus, ait illi: O mulier, magna est fides tua: fiat tibi sicut vis. Et sanata est filia ejus ex illa hora.

32 Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ εἶπεν: σπλαγχνίζομαι ἐπὶ τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ἤδη ἡμέραι τρεῖς προσμένουσίν μοι καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν τί φάγωσιν: καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτοὺς νήστεις οὐ θέλω, μήποτε ἐκλυθῶσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ. 33 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί: πόθεν ἡμῖν ἐν ἐρημίᾳ ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον; 34 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, πόσους ἄρτους ἔχετε; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν: ἑπτά, καὶ ὀλίγα ἰχθύδια. 35 καὶ παραγγείλας τῷ ὄχλῳ ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν 36 ἔλαβεν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους καὶ τοὺς ἰχθύας καὶ εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς, οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ τοῖς ὄχλοις. 37 καὶ ἔφαγον πάντες καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων ἦραν, ἑπτὰ σπυρίδας πλήρεις. 38 οἱ δὲ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων 39 καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἐνέβη εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια Μαγαδάν.

32 But now Jesus called his disciples, and said, I am moved with pity for the multitude; it is three days now since they have been in attendance on me, and they have nothing to eat. I must not send them away fasting, or perhaps they will grow faint on their journey. 33 His disciples said to him, Where could we find loaves enough in a desert to feed such a multitude? 34 And Jesus asked them, How many loaves have you? Seven, they said, and a few small fishes. 35 Thereupon he bade the multitude sit down on the ground, 36 and he took the seven loaves and the fishes with them, and when he had blessed and broken he gave these to his disciples, and his disciples to the multitude. 37 And they all ate and had enough; and they took up what was left of the broken pieces, seven hampers full. 38 Four thousand men had eaten, not reckoning women and children. 39 And so, taking leave of the multitude, he went on board the ship, and crossed to the region of Magedan.[5]

32 Jesus autem, convocatis discipulis suis, dixit: Misereor turbæ, quia triduo jam perseverant mecum, et non habent quod manducent: et dimittere eos jejunos nolo, ne deficiant in via. 33 Et dicunt ei discipuli: Unde ergo nobis in deserto panes tantos, ut saturemus turbam tantam? 34 Et ait illis Jesus: Quot habetis panes? At illi dixerunt: Septem, et paucos pisciculos. 35 Et præcepit turbæ ut discumberent super terram. 36 Et accipiens septem panes, et pisces, et gratias agens, fregit, et dedit discipulis suis, et discipuli dederunt populo. 37 Et comederunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et quod superfuit de fragmentis, tulerunt septem sportas plenas. 38 Erant autem qui manducaverunt quatuor millia hominum, extra parvulos et mulieres. 39 Et, dimissa turba, ascendit in naviculam: et venit in fines Magedan.

[2] There is much uncertainty about the text and the meaning here. But, since the Hebrews used the word ‘honour’ to imply a gift of money (cf. Ecclus. 38.1; I Tim. 5.3) it is clear that our Lord refers to some shift by which sons were allowed to neglect the support of their parents. This was done, it appears, by a real or pretended consecration of themselves to God.
