Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
Tradition and Vain Worship
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come up to Jesus, saying,
“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”
Why do thy disciples transgress what has been delivered by the ancients? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
But he answering said to them, Why do *ye* also transgress the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching?
For God commanded saying, Honour father and mother; and, He that speaks ill of father or mother, let him die the death.
But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’
But *ye* say, Whosoever shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, whatsoever [it be] by which [received] from me thou wouldest be profited:
they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
and he shall in no wise honour his father or his mother; and ye have made void the commandment of God on account of your traditional teaching.
You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
Hypocrites! well has Esaias prophesied about you, saying,
“ ‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
but their hearts are far from me.
This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me;
but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men.
Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand.
What Defiles a Man
And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand:
What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”
Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?
He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.
But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch.
Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”
And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable.
“Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them.
But he said, Are *ye* also still without intelligence?
“Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?
Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught?
But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.
but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man.
For out of the heart come evil thoughts — murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies;
These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

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.”
But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came to [him] and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries after us.
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
But he answering said, I have not been sent save to the lost sheep of Israel's house.
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
But he answering said, It is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
But she said, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith [is] great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from *that* hour.

Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people; 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.”
But Jesus, having called his disciples to [him], said, I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat, and I would not send them away fasting lest they should faint on the way.
His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
