1 Tad rakstu mācītāji un farizēji nāca no Jeruzālemes pie Jēzus un sacīja:
2 „Kāpēc tavi mācekļi pārkāpj vecaju likumus? Jo tie rokas nemazgā, kad ēd maizi.“
3 Bet viņš atbildēja un tiem sacīja: „Kāpēc tad jūs ari pārkāpjat Dieva pavēli savu likumu dēļ?
4 Jo Dievs ir pavēlējis: godā savu tēvu un mātil un: kas tēvu vai māti nolād, tam būs mirt.
5 Bet jūs mācāt: ja kas sakot uz savu tēvu vai māti: kas tev no manis nāktos, lai ir Dievam par upuri, tam nevajagot vairs godāt savu tēvu vai māti.
6 Tā jūs atceļat Dieva vārdus savu likumu dēļ.
7 Jūs liekuļi! Jesaja ir pareizi par jums sludinājis, sacīdams:
8 Šī tauta godā mani ar savām lūpām, bet viņu sirds ir tālu nost no manis.
9 Bet velti tie mani godā, sludinādami mācības, kas ir cilvēku likumi.“
10 Un viņš pieaicināja ļaudis pie sevis un sacīja tiem: „Klausaities un saprotiet!
11 Ne, kas mutē ieiet, sagāna cilvēku; bet, kas nomutēs iziet, tas sagāna cilvēku.“
12 Tad mācekļi pienāca pie viņa un uz to sacīja: „Vai tu zini, ka farizēji, tavus vārdus dzirdēdami, ņēma apgrē-cību?“
13 Bet viņš atbildēja un sacīja: „Visi dēsti, ko mans debesu Tēvs nav dēstījis, tiks izrauti ar saknēm.
14 Atstājiet tos! Tie ir akli akliem ceļa rādītāji; bet, ja akls aklam ceļu rāda, tad abi divi iekritis bedrē.“
15 Bet Pēteris atbildēja un uz viņu sacīja: „Izstāsti mums šo līdzību.“
16 Un Jēzus sacīja: „Vai tad ir jūs vēl esat nesaprašas?
17 Vai tad jūs nesaprotat, ka viss, kas ieiet mutē, noiet vēderā un tiek izmests laukā.
18 Bet kas no mutes iziet, tas nāk no sirds, un tas sagāna cilvēku.
19 Jo no sirds iziet ļaunas domas, slepkavība, laulības pārkāpšana, nešķī-stība, zādzība, nepatiesa liecība, zaimi.
20 Viss tas sagāna cilvēku, bet ēšana ar nemazgātām rokām cilvēku nesagāna.“
21 Un no turienes Jēzus aizgāja un atkāpās Tiras un Sidonas robežās.
22 Un redzi, viena kānaniešu sieva, kas nāca no tām pašām robežām, brēca un sacīja: „Ak Kungs, tu Dāvida Dēls, apžēlojies par mani! Manu meitu ļauns gars nežēlīgi moka.“
23 Bet viņš tai neatbildēja neviena vārda. Tad viņa mācekļi pienāca, lūdza to un sacīja: „Atlaidi to, jo tā brēc mums pakaļ.“
24 Bet viņš atbildēja un sacīja: „Es esmu sūtīts vienīgi pie Israēla cilts pazudušajām avīm.“
25 Bet tā nāca, metās viņa priekšā zemē un sacīja: „Kungs, palīdzi man!“
26 Bet viņš atbildēja un sacīja: „Neklājas bērniem maizi atņemt un to nomest suņiem priekšā.“
27 Bet viņa sacīja: „Tā gan, Kungs! Bet tomēr sunīši ēd 110 druskām, kas nokrīt no viņu kungu galda.“
28 Tad Jēzus atbildēja un tai sacīja: „Ak sieva, tava ticība ir liela, lai tev notiek, kā tu gribi.“ Un viņas meita kļuva vesela tai pašā stundā.
29 Un Jēzus aizgāja no turienes; viņš nāca pie Galilejas jūpas, uzkāpa kalnā un tur apsēdās.
30 Un daudz ļaužu atnāca pie viņa un atveda sev līdzi tizlus, kropļus, aklus, mēmus un daudz citu un nolika tos pie Jēzus kājām, un viņš dziedināja tos,
31 Tā ka ļaudis brīnījās, redzēdami mēmus runājam, kropļus veselus, tizlus staigājam un aklus redzam, un viņi slavēja Israēla Dievu.
32 Un Jēzus, pieaicinājis savus mācekļus, sacīja tiem: „Mana sirds iežēlojas par šiem ļaudīm; jo tie jau trīs dienas pie manis palikuši, un tiem nav ko ēst. Es negribu tos neēdušus atlaist, ka tie ceļā nenonīkst.“
33 Un mācekļi uz to sacīja: „Kur lai ņemam šeitan tuksnesī tik daudz maizes lai paēdinātu tādu pulku ļaužu?“
34 Un Jēzus tiem sacīja: „Cik ir jums maizes?“ Tie atbildēja: „Septiņas un kāds mazums zivtiņu.“
35 Un viņš lika ļaudīm apsēsties zemē,
36 Ņēma tās septiņas maizes un tās zivis, pateicās, pārlauza un deva tās mācekļiem, un mācekli ļaudīm.
37 Un viņi ēda un paēda, un no atlikušām druskām salasīja septiņus grozus pilnus.
38 Bet to, kas ēduši, bija četri tūkstoši vīru, neskaitot sievas un bērnus.
39 Un viņš atlaida ļaudis, kāpa laivā un nonāca Magadanas robežās.
1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free . Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 ¶ And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 ¶ Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: 31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 ¶ Then Jesus called his disciples unto him , and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them , and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. 39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
