Matthew 15

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.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 tunc accesserunt ad eum ab Hierosolymis scribae et Pharisaei dicentes

2 quare discipuli tui transgrediuntur traditionem seniorum non enim lavant manus suas cum panem manducant

3 ipse autem respondens ait illis quare et vos transgredimini mandatum Dei propter traditionem vestram

4 nam Deus dixit honora patrem et matrem et qui maledixerit patri vel matri morte moriatur

5 vos autem dicitis quicumque dixerit patri vel matri munus quodcumque est ex me tibi proderit

6 et non honorificabit patrem suum aut matrem et irritum fecistis mandatum Dei propter traditionem vestram

7 hypocritae bene prophetavit de vobis Esaias dicens

8 populus hic labiis me honorat cor autem eorum longe est a me

9 sine causa autem colunt me docentes doctrinas mandata hominum

10 et convocatis ad se turbis dixit eis audite et intellegite

11 non quod intrat in os coinquinat hominem sed quod procedit ex ore hoc coinquinat hominem

12 tunc accedentes discipuli eius dixerunt ei scis quia Pharisaei audito verbo scandalizati sunt

13 at ille respondens ait omnis plantatio quam non plantavit Pater meus caelestis eradicabitur

14 sinite illos caeci sunt duces caecorum caecus autem si caeco ducatum praestet ambo in foveam cadunt

15 respondens autem Petrus dixit ei edissere nobis parabolam istam

16 at ille dixit adhuc et vos sine intellectu estis

17 non intellegitis quia omne quod in os intrat in ventrem vadit et in secessum emittitur

18 quae autem procedunt de ore de corde exeunt et ea coinquinant hominem

19 de corde enim exeunt cogitationes malae homicidia adulteria fornicationes furta falsa testimonia blasphemiae

20 haec sunt quae coinquinant hominem non lotis autem manibus manducare non coinquinat hominem

21 et egressus inde Iesus secessit in partes Tyri et Sidonis

22 et ecce mulier chananea a finibus illis egressa clamavit dicens ei miserere mei Domine Fili David filia mea male a daemonio vexatur

23 qui non respondit ei verbum et accedentes discipuli eius rogabant eum dicentes dimitte eam quia clamat post nos

24 ipse autem respondens ait non sum missus nisi ad oves quae perierunt domus Israhel

25 at illa venit et adoravit eum dicens Domine adiuva me

26 qui respondens ait non est bonum sumere panem filiorum et mittere canibus

27 at illa dixit etiam Domine nam et catelli edunt de micis quae cadunt de mensa dominorum suorum

28 tunc respondens Iesus ait illi o mulier magna est fides tua fiat tibi sicut vis et sanata est filia illius ex illa hora

29 et cum transisset inde Iesus venit secus mare Galilaeae et ascendens in montem sedebat ibi

30 et accesserunt ad eum turbae multae habentes secum mutos clodos caecos debiles et alios multos et proiecerunt eos ad pedes eius et curavit eos

31 ita ut turbae mirarentur videntes mutos loquentes clodos ambulantes caecos videntes et magnificabant Deum Israhel

32 Iesus autem convocatis discipulis suis dixit misereor turbae quia triduo iam perseverant mecum et non habent quod manducent et dimittere eos ieiunos nolo ne deficiant in via

33 et dicunt ei discipuli unde ergo nobis in deserto panes tantos ut saturemus turbam tantam

34 et ait illis Iesus quot panes habetis at illi dixerunt septem et paucos pisciculos

35 et praecepit turbae ut discumberet super terram

36 et accipiens septem panes et pisces et gratias agens fregit et dedit discipulis suis et discipuli dederunt populo

37 et comederunt omnes et saturati sunt et quod superfuit de fragmentis tulerunt septem sportas plenas

38 erant autem qui manducaverant quattuor milia hominum extra parvulos et mulieres

39 et dimissa turba ascendit in naviculam et venit in fines Magedan
