¹ Then, there come unto Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying - ² Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread!³ But, he, answering, said unto them - Wherefore do, ye also, transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?⁴ For, God, said - Honour thy father and thy mother, and - He that revileth father or mother, let him, surely die!⁵ But, ye, say - Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother - A gift! Whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,⁶ in nowise, shall honour his father or his mother - and so ye have cancelled, the word of God, for the sake of your, tradition.⁷ Hypocrites! well prophesied concerning you, Isaiah, saying - ⁸ This people, with the lips, do, honour, me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me;⁹ But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching, for teachings, the commandments of men.

¹⁰ And, calling near the multitude, he said to them - Hear and understand!¹¹ Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,¹² Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him - Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble?¹³ And, he, answering, said - Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted:¹⁴ Let them alone! they are, blind leaders; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.¹⁵ And Peter, answering, said unto him, Declare to us the parable.¹⁶ And, he, said, To this moment, are, ye also, without discernment?¹⁷ Perceive ye not that, every thing which entereth into the mouth, into the stomach, findeth way, and, into the draught, is passed;¹⁸ while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.¹⁹ For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, - murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:²⁰ these, are the things which defile the man, but, the eating with unwashed hands, doth not defile the man.

²¹ And, going forth from thence, Jesus retired into the parts of Tyre and Zidon.²² And lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably demonized.²³ But, he, answered her no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying - Dismiss her, because she is crying out after us.²⁴ But, he, answering, said, I was not sent forth, save unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.²⁵ And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me.²⁶ But, he, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, to the little dogs.²⁷ And, she, said, True, Lord! for, even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling from the table of, their masters.²⁸ Then, answering, Jesus said to her - O woman! great, is, thy faith! Be it, done, for thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed, from that hour.

²⁹ And, passing on from thence, Jesus came near the sea of Galilee, and, going up into the mountain, was sitting there.³⁰ And there came unto him large multitudes, having with themselves the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, - and they cast them near his feet, and he cured them;³¹ so that the multitude marvelled, seeing the dumb speaking, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, - and they glorified the God of Israel.³² But, Jesus, calling near his disciples, said - My compassions are moved towards the multitude, because even now, three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat, - and, to dismiss them fasting, I am not willing, lest by any means they faint in the way.³³ And his disciples say unto him - Whence, to us, in a wilderness, loaves in such numbers as to fill a multitude, so great?³⁴ And Jesus saith unto them - How many, loaves have ye? And, they, said, - Seven, and a few small fishes.³⁵ And, sending word to the multitude to recline upon the ground,³⁶ he took the seven loaves, and the fishes, and, giving thanks, brake, - and began giving to his disciples, and, the disciples, to the multitudes.³⁷ And they all did eat and were filled, - and, the remainder of the broken pieces, took they up, seven hampers, full.³⁸ And, they who did eat, were four thousand men, besides women and children.³⁹ And, dismissing the multitudes, he went up into the boat, - and came into the bounds of Magadan.
