Matthew 15 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Tradition and Commandment

(Mar 7:1–23 )

Mat 15:1Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem -- scribes and Pharisees -- saying,

Mat 15:2'Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'

Mat 15:3

Mat 15:3And he answering said to them, 'Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?

Mat 15:4

Mat 15:4for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

Mat 15:5

Mat 15:5but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering is whatever thou mayest be profited by me; --

Mat 15:6

Mat 15:6and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.

Mat 15:7

Mat 15:7'Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

Mat 15:8

Mat 15:8This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me;

Mat 15:9

Mat 15:9and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings -- commands of men.'

Mat 15:10

Mat 15:10And having called near the multitude, he said to them, 'Hear and understand:

Mat 15:11

Mat 15:11not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.'

Mat 15:12

Mat 15:12Then his disciples having come near, said to him, 'Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'

Mat 15:13

Mat 15:13And he answering said, 'Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;

Mat 15:14

Mat 15:14let them alone, guides they are -- blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.'

The Heart of Man

Mat 15:15

Mat 15:15And Peter answering said to him, 'Explain to us this simile.'

Mat 15:16

Mat 15:16And Jesus said, 'Are ye also yet without understanding?

Mat 15:17

Mat 15:17do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?

Mat 15:18

Mat 15:18but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man;

Mat 15:19

Mat 15:19for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:

Mat 15:20

Mat 15:20these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.'

The Syrophoenician Woman

(Mar 7:24–30 )

Mat 15:21

Mat 15:21And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,

Mat 15:22

Mat 15:22and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, 'Deal kindly with me, Sir -- Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'

Mat 15:23

Mat 15:23And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying -- 'Let her away, because she crieth after us;'

Mat 15:24

Mat 15:24and he answering said, 'I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'

Mat 15:25

Mat 15:25And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, 'Sir, help me;'

Mat 15:26

Mat 15:26and he answering said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'

Mat 15:27

Mat 15:27And she said, 'Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;'

Mat 15:28

Mat 15:28then answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great is thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

Healing Crowds

(Mar 7:31–37 )

Mat 15:29

Mat 15:29And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,

Mat 15:30

Mat 15:30and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,

Mat 15:31

Mat 15:31so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

Four Thousand Fed

(Mar 8:1–10 )

Mat 15:32

Mat 15:32And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, 'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.'

Mat 15:33

Mat 15:33And his disciples say to him, 'Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?'

Mat 15:34

Mat 15:34And Jesus saith to them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven, and a few little fishes.'

Mat 15:35

Mat 15:35And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

Mat 15:36

Mat 15:36and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Mat 15:37

Mat 15:37And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,

Mat 15:38

Mat 15:38and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.

Mat 15:39
