¹ Then the scribes and the Pharisees came to him from Jerusalem, and said,

² Why break thy disciples the traditions of elder men? [or Why thy disciples break the traditions, either the teachings, of elder men?] for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread.

³ He answered, and said to them, Why break ye the commandment of God for your tradition[s]?

⁴ For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and he that curseth father or mother, die he by death.

⁵ But ye say, Whoever saith to father or mother, Whatever gift is of me, it shall profit to thee;

⁶ and he hath not worshipped [or not honoured] his father or his mother; and ye have made the commandment of God void for your tradition[s].

⁷ Hypocrites, Isaiah the prophet, prophesied well of you, and said,

⁸ This people honoureth me with lips, but their heart is far from me;

⁹ and they worship me without cause, teaching the doctrines and the commandments of men.

¹⁰ And when the people were called together to him, he said to them, Hear ye, and understand ye.

¹¹ That thing that entereth into the mouth, defouleth not a man; but that thing that cometh out of the mouth, defouleth a man.

¹² Then his disciples came, and said to him, Thou knowest [or Knowest thou], that, if this word be heard, the Pharisees be offended?

¹³ And he answered, and said, Every planting, that my Father of heaven hath not planted, shall be drawn up by the root.

¹⁴ Suffer ye them; they be blind, and leaders of blind men. And if a blind man lead a blind man, both fall into the ditch.

¹⁵ Peter answered, and said to him, Expound to us this parable.

¹⁶ And he said, Yet ye be without understanding?

¹⁷ Understand ye not, that all thing that entereth into the mouth, goeth into the womb, and is sent out into the going away?

¹⁸ But those things that come forth from the mouth, go out from the heart, and those things defoul the man.

¹⁹ For of the heart go out evil thoughts [or For out of the heart cometh evil thoughts], manslayings, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies.

²⁰ These things it be that defoul a man; but to eat with hands not washed, defouleth not a man.

²¹ And Jesus went out from thence, and went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

²² And lo! a woman of Canaan went out of those coasts, and cried, and said to him, Lord, the son of David, have mercy on me; my daughter is evil travailed of a fiend [or a devil].

²³ And he answered not to her a word. And his disciples came, and prayed him, and said, Leave thou her, for she crieth after us.

²⁴ He answered, and said, I am not sent, but to the sheep of the house of Israel that have perished.

²⁵ And she came, and worshipped him, and said, Lord, help me.

²⁶ Which answered, and said, It is not good to take the bread of children, and cast [it] to hounds.

²⁷ And she said, Yes, Lord; for [the] whelps eat of the crumbs, that fall down from the board of their lords.

²⁸ Then Jesus answered, and said to her, A! woman, thy faith is great; be it done to thee, as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

²⁹ And when Jesus had passed from thence, he came beside the sea of Galilee. And he went up into an hill, and sat there.

³⁰ And much people came to him, and had with them dumb men and crooked [men], feeble and blind, and many others; and they casted down them [or cast them down] at his feet. And he healed them,

³¹ so that the people wondered, seeing dumb men speaking, and crooked [men] going, blind men seeing; and they magnified God of Israel.

³² And Jesus, when his disciples were called together, said to them, I have ruth of the people, for they have abided now three days with me, and have nothing to eat; and I will not leave them fasting, lest they fail in the way.

³³ And the disciples say to him, Whereof then so many loaves among us in desert, to fulfill so great a people? [And the disciples say to him, Therefore whereof so many loaves to us in desert, that we fill so great a company of people?]

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes [or a few little fishes].

³⁵ And he commanded to the people, to sit to [the] meat on the earth.

³⁶ And he took the seven loaves and five fishes, and did thankings, and brake them, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the people.

³⁷ And all ate, and were fulfilled [or were filled], and they took that that was left of [the] remnants, seven baskets full.

³⁸ And they that ate were four thousand of men, without little children and women.

³⁹ And when he had left the people, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
