1Then came to Jesus Pharisees and Scribes that were from Jerusalem, and said: 2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, and wash not their hands when they eat bread? 3Jesus replied and said to them: Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, on account of your tradition? 4For God hath said: Honor thy father, and thy mother; and he that revileth his father or his mother, shall be put to death. 5But ye say : Whosoever shall say to a father or to a mother, Be that my offering, by which ye get profit from me: then he must not honor his father or his mother. 6And thus ye make void the word of God, for the sake of your tradition. 7Ye hypocrites, well did the prophet Isaiah prophesy of you, and say : 8This people honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far from me. 9And in vain they pay me homage, while they teach doctrines that are the precepts of men. 10And he called the multitudes, and said to them, Hear and understand. 11Not that which entereth the mouth, defileth a man; but that which proceedeth from the mouth, that defileth a man. 12Then came his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou, that the Pharisees were offended when they heard that speech? 13And he replied, and said to them: Every plant, which my Father who is in heaven hath not planted, shall be eradicated. 14Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if a blind man leadeth one blind, they will both fall into the ditch. 15And Simon Cephas answered and said to him: My Lord, explain to us this similitude. 16And he said to them: Are ye also, up to this time, without understanding? 17Know ye not, that whatever entereth the mouth, passeth into the belly, and from there is ejected by purgation? 18But that which proceedeth from the mouth, cometh from the heart: and that is what defileth a man. 19For, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling. 20These are the things that defile a man. But if a man eat while his hands are unwashed, he is not defiled. 21And Jesus departed from there, and went to the confines of Tyre and Sidon. 22And lo, a woman, a Canaanitess from those confines, came forth, calling out and saying: Compassionate me, my Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously distressed by a demon. 23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and requested of him, and said: Send her away, for she crieth after us. 24But he answered and said to them: I am not sent, except to the sheep that have strayed from the house of Israel. 25And she came, and worshipped him, and said: Help me, my Lord. 26Jesus said to her: It is not proper, to take the bread of the children and throw it to the dogs. 27And she said: Even so, my Lord; yet the dogs eat of the fragments that fall from the tables of their masters, and live. 28Then Jesus said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour. 29And Jesus departed from there, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee: and he ascended a mountain, and sat there. 30And great multitudes came to him; and with them were the lame, and the blind, and the dumb, and the maimed, and many others: and they laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them. 31So that the multitudes were amazed, when they saw the dumb speaking, and the maimed made whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel. 32Then Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: I pity this multitude; for lo, these three days they have continued with me, and they have nothing to eat: and I am unwilling to send them away fasting, lest they faint by the way. 33His disciples say to him: Whence can we get bread in the wilderness, to satisfy all this multitude? 34Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? They said to him, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground. 36And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 37And they all ate, and were satisfied. And they took up the remains of fragments, seven full baskets. 38And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39And when he had sent away the multitudes, he took ship, and came to the coasts of Magdala.
