The Tradition of the Elders

15 Then(A) Jesus was approached by Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem, who asked,(B) 2 ‘Why do your disciples(C) break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat.’[a](D)

3 He answered them, ‘Why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition? 4 For God said:[b] Honour your father and your mother;[c](E) and, Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.[d](F) 5 But you say, “Whoever tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple,’ 6 he does not have to honour his father.”[e] In this way, you have nullified the word of God[f] because of your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said:

8 This people[g] honours me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
9 They worship me in vain,
eaching as doctrines human commands.’(G)[h]

Defilement Is from Within

10 Summoning the crowd, he told them, ‘Listen and understand: 11 It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles(H) a person, but what comes out of the mouth – this defiles a person.’(I)

12 Then the disciples came up and told him, ‘Do you know that the Pharisees took offence when they heard what you said? ’

13 He replied, ‘Every plant that my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.(J) 14 Leave them alone! They are blind guides.[i] And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.’(K)

15 Then Peter said, ‘Explain this parable to us.’(L)

16 ‘Do you still lack understanding? ’ he[j] asked. 17 ‘Don’t you realise[k] that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated?[l] 18 But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a person.(M) 19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies,(N) slander.(O) 20 These are the things that defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person.’(P)

A Gentile Mother’s Faith

21 When Jesus left there,(Q) he withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon.(R) 22 Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out,[m] ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely tormented by a demon.’(S)

23 Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples(T) approached him and urged him, ‘Send her away because she’s crying out after us.’

24 He replied, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’(U)

25 But she came, knelt before him, and said, ‘Lord, help me! ’

26 He answered, ‘It isn’t right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’(V)

27 ‘Yes, Lord,’ she said, ‘yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’

28 Then Jesus replied to her, ‘Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want.’ And from that moment[n] her daughter was healed.(W)

Healing Many People

29 Moving on from there,(X) Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee.(Y) He went up on a mountain and sat there, 30 and large crowds came to him, including the lame, the blind, the crippled, those unable to speak, and many others. They put them at his feet, and he healed them. 31 So the crowd was amazed when they saw those unable to speak talking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing,(Z) and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

Feeding of the Four Thousand

32 Jesus called his disciples and said,(AA) ‘I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with me for three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry, otherwise they might collapse on the way.’

33 The disciples said to him, ‘Where could we get enough bread in this desolate place(AB) to feed such a crowd? ’

34 ‘How many loaves do you have? ’ Jesus asked them.

‘Seven,’ they said, ‘and a few small fish.’

35 After commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.(AC) 37 They all ate and were satisfied. They collected the leftover pieces – seven large baskets full. 38 Now there were four thousand men who had eaten, besides women and children. 39 After dismissing the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.[o](AD)

Mateo 15
Ang Pulong Sa Dios

Ang Tulumanon sa mga Katigulangan

(Mar. 7:1-13)

15 Human niadto, may mga Pariseo ug mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan gikan sa Jerusalem nga miduol kang Jesus ug nangutana. 2 “Ngano man nga ang imong mga tinun-an wala nagatuman sa mga tulumanon sa atong katigulangan? Wala sila manghugas sa ilang mga kamot una sila mangaon.” 3 Gitubag sila ni Jesus, “Kamo usab, nganong ginalapas ninyo ang sugo sa Dios tungod sa inyong pagsunod nianang inyong mga tulumanon? 4 Kay nagaingon ang Dios, ‘Tahora ang imong amahan ug inahan,’[a] ug ‘Ang mosultig daotan batok sa iyang amahan o inahan angayng patyon.’[b] 5 Apan kamo nagatudlo nga kon ang tawo may ikatabang unta sa iyang mga ginikanan, ug moingon kanila, ‘kini alang sa Dios,’ dili na siya angayng motabang kanila. 6 Gihimo ninyo nga walay kapuslanan ang pulong sa Dios tungod sa inyong mga tulumanon. 7 Mga tigpakaaron-ingnon! Tinuod gayod ang giingon sa Dios mahitungod kaninyo pinaagi kang Propeta Isaias,

8 ‘Kining mga tawhana nagatahod kanako sa baba lang,
apan ang ilang kasingkasing halayo kanako.
9 Walay kapuslanan ang ilang pagsimba kanako,
kay ang ilang gitudlo nga mga pagtulon-an mga hinimo lang sa mga tawo.’ ”[c]

Ang Makapahugaw sa Tawo

(Mar. 7:14-23)

10 Gitawag ni Jesus ang mga tawo ug giingnan niya sila, “Pamati kamo ug sabta ninyo ang akong isulti. 11 Ang mga pagkaon nga isulod sa baba sa tawo dili maoy makapahugaw kaniya, kondili ang mga pulong nga mogawas sa iyang baba.”

12 Unya miduol kaniya ang iyang mga tinun-an ug miingon, “Nahibaloan mo ba nga nahiubos ang mga Pariseo niadtong imong gisulti?” 13 Mitubag si Jesus, “Ang matag tanom nga wala itanom sa akong Amahan nga langitnon pagaibton. 14 Pasagdi lang ninyo sila. Mga giya sila nga buta. Ug kon ang buta mogiya sa laing buta, mangahulog silang duha sa bangag.” 15 Unya miingon si Pedro kang Jesus, “Sultihi kami sa kahulogan niadto nga panultihon.” 16 Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Wala pa ba usab kamo makasabot? 17 Wala ba kamo mahibalo nga ang bisan unsa nga mosulod sa baba molahos sa tiyan ug unya mogawas ra gikan sa lawas? 18 Apan ang mogawas sa baba gikan sa kasingkasing, ug mao kana ang makapahugaw sa tawo. 19 Kay gikan sa kasingkasing sa tawo ang daota nga mga panghunahuna, nga mao ang motukmod kaniya sa pagpatay, pagpanapaw, pagpakighilawas gawas sa kaminyoon, pagpangawat, pagsaksi ug bakak, ug pagsulti ug daotan batok sa iyang isigka-tawo. 20 Mao kini ang makapahugaw sa tawo. Apan ang magkaon nga walay panghugas sa kamot dili makapahugaw sa tawo.”

Ang Pagtuo sa Usa ka Babaye nga Taga-Canaan

(Mar. 7:24-30)

21 Mibiya si Jesus niadto nga dapit ug miadto sa mga dapit nga duol sa mga siyudad sa Tyre ug Sidon. 22 May usa ka babaye nga taga-Canaan nga nagpuyo niadtong dapita. Miduol siya kang Jesus nga nagpakilooy. Miingon siya, “Ginoo, kaliwat ni David,[d] kaloy-i intawon ako! Ang akong anak nga babaye gigamhan sa daotang espiritu ug nagaantos gayod siya.” 23 Apan wala motubag si Jesus. Ang iyang mga tinun-an miduol kaniya ug mihangyo nga nagaingon, “Papahawaa kanang babayhana, kay nagsunod-sunod siya kanato ug saba kaayo.” 24 Unya miingon si Jesus, “Gipadala ako dinhi aron sa pagtabang sa mga Israelinhon nga sama sa mga karnero nga nangawala.” 25 Apan mipaduol pa gayod ang babaye kang Jesus ug miluhod sa iyang atubangan nga nagaingon, “Ginoo, tabangi intawon ako!” 26 Miingon si Jesus kaniya pinaagi sa panultihon, “Dili maayo nga kuhaon ang pagkaon gikan sa mga anak ug ilabay ngadto sa mga iro.”[e] 27 Ug miingon ang babaye, “Husto kana Ginoo, apan bisan pa ang mga iro mokaon sa mga pagkaon nga natagak gikan sa lamisa sa ilang agalon.” 28 Unya miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Kadako sa imong pagtuo! Busa madawat mo ang imong gipangayo kanako.” Ug niadto gayong orasa naayo ang iyang anak.

Daghan ang Gipang-ayo ni Jesus

29 Mibiya si Jesus didto ug miadto sa daplin sa Linaw sa Galilea. Ug unya mitungas siya sa bukid ug milingkod didto. 30 Daghang mga tawo ang miduol kaniya. Gidala nila ang mga bakol, ang mga singkaw, ang mga buta, ang mga amang ug daghan pa nga mga masakiton. Gipahimutang sila sa tiilan ni Jesus ug giayo niya silang tanan. 31 Nahibulong gayod ang mga tawo kay nakita nila nga ang mga amang makasulti na, maayo na ang kamot sa mga singkaw, ang mga bakol makalakaw na ug ang mga buta makakita na. Ug gidayeg nila ang Dios sa Israel.

Gipakaon ni Jesus ang 4,000 ka mga Tawo

(Mar. 8:1-10)

32 Gitawag ni Jesus ang iyang mga tinun-an ug miingon siya kanila, “Nalooy gayod ako niining mga tawhana. Tulo na ka adlaw silang nagauban-uban kanako ug wala na silay pagkaon. Dili ko gusto nga mopauli sila nga dili makakaon kay basin ug makuyapan sila sa dalan.” 33 Miingon ang iyang mga tinun-an kaniya, “Asa ba kita makakuha ug pagkaon dinhi sa kamingawan alang niining daghang mga tawo?” 34 Nangutana si Jesus kanila, “Pila ka buok ang inyong pan diha?” Mitubag sila, “Pito ka pan ug pipila lang ka gagmayng isda.” 35 Unya gipalingkod ni Jesus ang mga tawo. 36 Gikuha niya ang pito ka pan ug ang mga isda ug nagpasalamat sa Dios. Ug unya, gipikas-pikas niya kini ug gihatag sa iyang mga tinun-an. Ug sila mao ang nang-apod-apod niini ngadto sa mga tawo. 37 Nakakaon silang tanan ug nangabusog. Ug unya, gitigom nila ang pan nga nasobra, ug napuno pa ang pito ka bukag. 38 Mga 4,000 ka mga lalaki ang nangaon wala pay labot niana ang mga babaye ug mga bata.

39 Human niadto gipapauli ni Jesus ang mga tawo. Unya misakay siya sa sakayan ug mitabok sa dapit sa Magadan.

That Which Defiles(A)

15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”(B)

3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a](C) and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b](D) 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship me in vain;
    their teachings are merely human rules.(E)’[c](F)”

10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them,(G) but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”(H)

12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted(I) will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d](J) If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”(K)

15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”(L)

16 “Are you still so dull?”(M) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(N) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(O) 20 These are what defile a person;(P) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(Q)

21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.(R) 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,(S) have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”(T)

23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”(U)

25 The woman came and knelt before him.(V) “Lord, help me!” she said.

26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith!(W) Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(X)(Y)(Z)

29 Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down. 30 Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.(AA) 31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.(AB)

32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people;(AC) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”

33 His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”

34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.

“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them(AD) and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. 37 They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(AE) 38 The number of those who ate was four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.
