Matthew 15

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Then Perushim and Sofrim come to Yeshua from Yerushalayim, saying,

2 "Why do your talmidim disobey the tradition of the Zakenim? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

3 He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the mitzvah of God because of your tradition?

4 For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

5 But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"

6 he will not honor his father or mother.' You have made the mitzvah of God void because of your tradition.

7 You hypocrites! Well did Yesha`yahu prophesy of you, saying,

8 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, And honor me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"

10 He called the multitude to himself, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.

11 That which enters into the mouth doesn't defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

12 Then the talmidim came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Perushim were offended, when they heard this saying?"

13 But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

14 Let them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

15 Kefa answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

16 So Yeshua said, "Do you also still not understand?

17 Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart, and they defile the man.

19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."

21 Yeshua went out from there, and withdrew into the parts of Tzor and Tzidon.

22 Behold, a Kana`ani woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely demonized!"

23 But he answered her not a word. His talmidim came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

24 But he answered, "I wasn't sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Yisra'el."

25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."

26 But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

27 But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

28 Then Yeshua answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

29 Yeshua departed there, and came near to the sea of the Galil; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

30 There came to him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

31 so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing -- and they glorified the God of Yisra'el.

32 Yeshua called his talmidim to himself, and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."

33 The talmidim said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?"

34 Yeshua said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

36 and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the talmidim, and the talmidim to the multitudes.

37 They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39 He sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

The Message Bible MSG

1 After that, Pharisees and religion scholars came to Jesus all the way from Jerusalem, criticizing,

2 "Why do your disciples play fast and loose with the rules?"

3 But Jesus put it right back on them. "Why do you use your rules to play fast and loose with God's commands?

4 God clearly says, 'Respect your father and mother,' and, 'Anyone denouncing father or mother should be killed.'

5 But you weasel around that by saying, 'Whoever wants to, can say to father and mother, What I owed to you I've given to God.'

6 That can hardly be called respecting a parent. You cancel God's command by your rules.

7 Frauds! Isaiah's prophecy of you hit the bull's-eye:

8 These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their heart isn't in it.

9 They act like they're worshiping me, but they don't mean it. They just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy."

10 He then called the crowd together and said, "Listen, and take this to heart.

11 It's not what you swallow that pollutes your life, but what you vomit up."

12 Later his disciples came and told him, "Did you know how upset the Pharisees were when they heard what you said?"

13 Jesus shrugged it off. "Every tree that wasn't planted by my Father in heaven will be pulled up by its roots.

14 Forget them. They are blind men leading blind men. When a blind man leads a blind man, they both end up in the ditch."

15 Peter said, "I don't get it. Put it in plain language."

16 Jesus replied, "You too? Are you being willfully stupid?

17 Don't you know that anything that is swallowed works its way through the intestines and is finally defecated?

18 But what comes out of the mouth gets its start in the heart.

19 It's from the heart that we vomit up evil arguments, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, lies, and cussing.

20 That's what pollutes. Eating or not eating certain foods, washing or not washing your hands - that's neither here nor there." Healing the People

21 From there Jesus took a trip to Tyre and Sidon.

22 They had hardly arrived when a Canaanite woman came down from the hills and pleaded, "Mercy, Master, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly afflicted by an evil spirit."

23 Jesus ignored her. The disciples came and complained, "Now she's bothering us. Would you please take care of her? She's driving us crazy."

24 Jesus refused, telling them, "I've got my hands full dealing with the lost sheep of Israel."

25 Then the woman came back to Jesus, went to her knees, and begged. "Master, help me."

26 He said, "It's not right to take bread out of children's mouths and throw it to dogs."

27 She was quick: "You're right, Master, but beggar dogs do get scraps from the master's table."

28 Jesus gave in. "Oh, woman, your faith is something else. What you want is what you get!" Right then her daughter became well.

29 After Jesus returned, he walked along Lake Galilee and then climbed a mountain and took his place, ready to receive visitors.

30 They came, tons of them, bringing along the paraplegic, the blind, the maimed, the mute - all sorts of people in need - and more or less threw them down at Jesus' feet to see what he would do with them. He healed them.

31 When the people saw the mutes speaking, the maimed healthy, the paraplegics walking around, the blind looking around, they were astonished and let everyone know that God was blazingly alive among them.

32 But Jesus wasn't finished with them. He called his disciples and said, "I hurt for these people. For three days now they've been with me, and now they have nothing to eat. I can't send them away without a meal - they'd probably collapse on the road."

33 His disciples said, "But where in this deserted place are you going to dig up enough food for a meal?"

34 Jesus asked, "How much bread do you have?"

35 At that, Jesus directed the people to sit down.

36 He took the seven loaves and the fish. After giving thanks, he divided it up and gave it to the people.

37 Everyone ate. They had all they wanted. It took seven large baskets to collect the leftovers.

38 Over four thousand people ate their fill at that meal.

39 After Jesus sent them away, he climbed in the boat and crossed over to the Magadan hills.
