\subsubsection{Breaking Human Traditions}
|
|
\VS{1} Then came to \Iesous from \Ieros{} Pharisees and scribes saying:
|
|
\VS{2} Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the elders?
|
|
For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
|
|
\VS{3} But answering he said to them:
|
|
And why do you transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
|
|
\VS{4} For God said: Honor your father and your mother, and:
|
|
The [one] speaking badly of father or mother --- let\fnImperative{} [him] be brought to the end by death%
|
|
\footnote{A Greek rendering of a Hebrew phrase --- something like ``by death let him die,''
|
|
an idiom emphatically underscoring the sentence.}.
|
|
\VS{5} But you say: Whoever should say to his father or mother,
|
|
That [thing] by which you may have profited by me [is a] gift [to God],
|
|
\VS{6} he should \negd{not} honor his father%
|
|
\footnote{add: ``or mother" \koine\ most; omit it: B\sinaiticus{}D few}.
|
|
And you make void the word\fnLogos{}%
|
|
\footnote{``word'' BD; ``law" \sinaiticus{}; ``commandment'' W \koine{} \vulgate{} }
|
|
of God by your tradition.
|
|
\VS{7} Hypocrites, well did \Isaiah prophesy concerning you when he says\footnote{Isa.29:13}:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
\VS{8} This people honors me with their lips \\
|
|
But their heart holds off from me afar \\
|
|
\VS{9} Futilely they worship me \\
|
|
Teaching [as] Teachings \\
|
|
the commandments of people.
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\VS{10} And calling out to the crowd he said to them: Be hearing and be understanding:
|
|
\VS{11} not what enters into the mouth defiles the person,
|
|
but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.
|
|
|
|
\VS{12} Then the disciples came to him saying to him:
|
|
Do you know that when the Pharisees heard the statement they were stumbled?
|
|
\VS{13} But answering he said: Every plant that my heavenly father did not plant will be rooted up.
|
|
\VS{14} Let them be\footnote{or ``Send them away," ``Tolerate them."}. They are blind
|
|
guides
|
|
\footnote{add ``of the blind" \vulgate{} \koine W; text: \sinaiticus{}BD few}.
|
|
But if blind guide blind, both will fall into the pit.
|
|
\VS{15} But \Petros answering said to him: Explain to us the parable.
|
|
\VS{16} But he said: Are you also still without understanding?
|
|
\VS{17} Don't you know that everything entering the mouth proceeds into the belly
|
|
and is expelled into the latrine?
|
|
\VS{18} But the [things] coming out of the mouth proceed out of the heart,
|
|
and these defile the person.
|
|
\VS{19} For out of the heart proceed wicked\fnPoneros{} reasonings, murders,
|
|
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, slanders,
|
|
\VS{20} these are the [things] defiling the person.
|
|
But to be eating with unwashed hands does not defile the person.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{A Canaanite Woman's Faith}
|
|
\VS{21} And when \Iesous went out from there he withdrew to the region of \Tyre and \Sidon.
|
|
\VS{22} And behold [a] \Canaanite woman from the region came crying out saying:
|
|
Have mercy on me, Lord, son of \David, my daughter is badly demon possessed.
|
|
\VS{23} But he did not answer her [a] word\fnLogos{}.
|
|
And his disciples came to him asking him saying:
|
|
Get rid of her, because she cries out after us.
|
|
\VS{24} But answering he said: I was not sent except to the lost sheep of \Israel.
|
|
\VS{25} But the [one] who came knelt before him saying:
|
|
Lord, help me.
|
|
\VS{26} But answering he said: It is not good to take the children's bread and to throw it to the dogs.
|
|
\VS{27} But she said: Yes, Lord, yet the puppies\footnote{Literally "small-house-dogs"}
|
|
eat of the crumbs falling from the Lord's table.
|
|
\VS{28} Then \Iesous answering her said: O woman, great is your trust\fnPistis{}.
|
|
Let\fnImperative{} it [now] come to pass for you as you wish.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Healing Many Others}
|
|
\VS{29} And when he passed over from there \Iesous came by the sea of \Galilee,
|
|
and having gone up to the mountain he sat there.
|
|
\VS{30} And many crowds came to him having with them crippled, deformed, blind, mute,
|
|
and many others, and they laid them at his feet, and he healed them,
|
|
\VS{31} so that when the crowd saw, they marveled [that] mute [were] speaking, and crippled walking,
|
|
and blind seeing, and they glorified the God of \Israel.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Feeding of the Four Thousand}
|
|
\VS{32} But when \Iesous summoned his disciples he said:
|
|
I have compassion on the crowd, because already three days they remain with me
|
|
and do not have anything to eat.
|
|
I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they give out in the road.
|
|
\VS{33} And the disciples said to him:
|
|
Where in the desert [is] for us so much bread so as to fill such [a] crowd?
|
|
\VS{34} And \Iesous says to them: How many loaves do you have?
|
|
And they said: Seven, and [a] few little fish.
|
|
\VS{35} And when he instructed the crowd to recline on the ground\fnGe{},
|
|
\VS{36} he took the loaves and the fish, and when he gave thanks he broke [them],
|
|
and gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples [gave] them to the crowds.
|
|
\VS{37} And they all ate and were filled and they collected the surplus of the fragments, seven baskets full.
|
|
\VS{38} But those eating were four thousand men\fnAner{}, apart from women and children.
|
|
\VS{39} And when he sent the crowd away he embarked in [a] boat, and went to the hill country \Magadan.
