Matthew 15

The Teaching of the Ancestors
(Mark 7.1-13)
1About this time some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem. They asked Jesus, 2“Why don't your disciples obey what our ancestors taught us to do? They don't even wash their hands#15.2 wash their hands: The Jewish people had strict laws about washing their hands before eating, especially if they had been out in public. before they eat.”
3Jesus answered:
Why do you disobey God and follow your own teaching? 4#Ex 20.12; Dt 5.16; Ex 21.17; Lv 20.9. Didn't God command you to respect your father and mother? Didn't he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents? 5But you let people get by without helping their parents when they should. You let them say that what they have has been offered to God.#15.5 has been offered to God: According to Jewish custom, when people said something was offered to God, it belonged to him and could not be used for anyone else, not even for their own parents. 6Is this any way to show respect to your parents? You ignore God's commands in order to follow your own teaching. 7And you are nothing but show-offs! Isaiah the prophet was right when he wrote that God had said,
8 # Is 29.13 (LXX). “All of you praise me
with your words,
but you never really
think about me.
9It is useless for you
to worship me,
when you teach rules
made up by humans.”
What Really Makes People Unclean
(Mark 7.14-23)
10Jesus called the crowd together and said, “Pay attention and try to understand what I mean. 11The food you put into your mouth doesn't make you unclean and unfit to worship God. The bad words that come out of your mouth are what make you unclean.”
12Then his disciples came over to him and asked, “Do you know you insulted the Pharisees by what you said?”
13Jesus answered, “Every plant that my Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled up by the roots. 14#Lk 6.39. Stay away from those Pharisees! They are like blind people leading other blind people, and all of them will fall into a ditch.”
15Peter replied, “What did you mean when you talked about the things that make people unclean?”
16Jesus then said:
Don't any of you know by now what I am talking about? 17Don't you know that the food you put into your mouth goes into your stomach and then out of your body? 18#Mt 12.34. But the words that come out of your mouth come from your heart. And they are what make you unfit to worship God. 19Out of your heart come evil thoughts, murder, unfaithfulness in marriage, vulgar deeds, stealing, telling lies, and insulting others. 20These are what make you unclean. Eating without washing your hands will not make you unfit to worship God.
A Woman's Faith
(Mark 7.24-30)
21Jesus left and went to the territory near the towns of Tyre and Sidon. 22Suddenly a Canaanite woman#15.22 Canaanite woman: This woman was not Jewish. from there came out shouting, “Lord and Son of David,#15.22 Son of David: See the note at 9.27. have pity on me! My daughter is full of demons.” 23Jesus did not say a word. But the woman kept following along and shouting, so his disciples came up and asked him to send her away.
24Jesus said, “I was sent only to the people of Israel! They are like a flock of lost sheep.”
25The woman came closer. Then she knelt down and begged, “Please help me, Lord!”
26Jesus replied, “It isn't right to take food away from children and feed it to dogs.”#15.26 feed it to dogs: Some Jewish people referred to Gentiles as dogs.
27“Lord, this is true,” the woman said, “but even puppies get the crumbs that fall from their owner's table.”
28Jesus answered, “Dear woman, you really do have a lot of faith, and you will be given what you want.” At that moment her daughter was healed.
Jesus Heals Many People
29From there, Jesus went along Lake Galilee. Then he climbed a hill and sat down. 30Large crowds came and brought many people who were paralyzed or blind or lame or unable to talk. They placed them, and many others, in front of Jesus, and he healed them all. 31Everyone was amazed at what they saw and heard. People who had never spoken could now speak. The lame were healed, the paralyzed could walk, and the blind were able to see. Everyone was praising the God of Israel.
Jesus Feeds Four Thousand
(Mark 8.1-10)
32Jesus called his disciples together and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me for three days, and they don't have anything to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry. They might faint on their way home.”
33His disciples said, “This place is like a desert. Where can we find enough food to feed such a crowd?”
34Jesus asked them how much food they had. They replied, “Seven small loaves of bread#15.34 small loaves of bread: See the note at 14.17. and a few little fish.”
35After Jesus had told the people to sit down, 36he took the seven loaves of bread and the fish and gave thanks. He then broke them and handed them to his disciples, who passed them around to the crowds.
37Everyone ate all they wanted, and the leftovers filled seven large baskets.
38There were 4,000 men who ate, not counting the women and children.
39After Jesus had sent the crowds away, he got into a boat and sailed across the lake. He came to shore near the town of Magadan.#15.39 Magadan: The location is unknown.

Mateo 15
15
Mga Minanang Katuruan
(Mc. 7:1-13)
1Pagkatapos, lumapit kay Jesus ang ilang Pariseo at mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan na galing sa Jerusalem, at siya'y tinanong nila, 2“Bakit nilalabag ng mga alagad mo ang mga katuruang minana natin sa ating mga ninuno? Kumakain sila nang hindi muna naghuhugas ng kamay ayon sa tamang paraan!”
3Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Bakit naman ninyo nilalabag ang utos ng Diyos dahil sa inyong mga tradisyon? 4Sinabi#Exo. 20:12; Deut. 5:16; Exo. 21:17; Lev. 20:9. ng Diyos, ‘Igalang mo ang iyong ama at ina’ at, ‘Ang sinumang lumait sa kanyang ama o ina ay dapat patayin.’ 5Ngunit itinuturo ninyo na kapag sinabi ng isang tao sa kanyang ama o ina, ‘Ang anumang maitutulong ko sa inyo ay naihandog ko na sa Diyos,’ 6hindi na niya kailangang tulungan ang kanyang ama [at ang kanyang ina].#15:6 at ang kanyang ina: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito. Pinawawalang-kabuluhan ninyo ang salita ng Diyos masunod lamang ninyo ang inyong minanang mga katuruan. 7Mga mapagkunwari! Tama nga ang sinabi ni propeta Isaias tungkol sa inyo,
8‘Ang#Isa. 29:13 (LXX). paggalang sa akin ng bayang ito ay pakunwari lamang,
sapagkat sa bibig at hindi sa puso ito bumubukal.
9Walang kabuluhan ang kanilang pagsamba,
sapagkat itinuturo nilang galing sa Diyos ang kanilang mga utos.’”
Ang Nagpaparumi sa Tao
(Mc. 7:14-23)
10Pinalapit ni Jesus ang mga tao at sinabi sa kanila, “Pakinggan ninyo at unawain ang aking sasabihin. 11Ang lumalabas sa bibig ng tao, hindi ang pumapasok, ang siyang nagpaparumi sa kanya sa paningin ng Diyos.”
12Pagkatapos, lumapit naman ang mga alagad at sinabi sa kanya, “Hindi po ba ninyo alam na nasaktan ang mga Pariseo sa sinabi ninyo?”
13Sumagot siya, “Ang bawat halamang hindi itinanim ng aking Ama na nasa langit ay bubunutin. 14Hayaan#Lu. 6:39. ninyo sila. Sila'y mga bulag na taga-akay [ng mga bulag;]#15:14 ng mga bulag: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito. at kapag bulag ang umakay sa kapwa bulag, pareho silang mahuhulog sa hukay.”
15Sinabi sa kanya ni Pedro, “Ipaliwanag nga po ninyo sa amin ang talinghagang [ito.]”#15:15 ito: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang salitang “ito”.
16At sinabi ni Jesus, “Pati ba kayo'y wala ring pang-unawa? 17Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na anumang pumapasok sa bibig ay tumutuloy sa tiyan at pagkatapos ay idinudumi? 18Ngunit#Mt. 12:34. ang lumalabas sa bibig ay nanggagaling sa puso. Iyan ang nagpaparumi sa tao. 19Sapagkat sa puso nanggagaling ang masasamang kaisipan, pagpatay, pangangalunya, pakikiapid, pagnanakaw, pagiging saksi para sa kasinungalingan, at paninirang-puri. 20Iyan ang nagpaparumi sa tao sa paningin ng Diyos. Hindi nagiging marumi ang isang tao kung siya man ay kumain nang hindi muna naghuhugas ng kamay.”
Ang Pananalig ng Isang Cananea
(Mc. 7:24-30)
21Umalis doon si Jesus at nagpunta sa lupaing malapit sa Tiro at Sidon. 22Isang Cananea na nakatira doon ang lumapit sa kanya na sumisigaw, “Panginoon, Anak ni David, maawa po kayo sa akin! Ang anak kong babae ay sinasapian ng demonyo at labis na pinapahirapan nito.”
23Ngunit hindi sumagot si Jesus. Lumapit ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi kay Jesus, “Paalisin na nga po ninyo siya. Napakaingay niya at sunod nang sunod sa atin.” 24Sumagot si Jesus, “Sa mga naliligaw na tupa ng sambahayan ng Israel lamang ako isinugo.” 25Ngunit lumapit sa kanya ang babae, lumuhod ito at nagmakaawa, “Tulungan po ninyo ako, Panginoon.”
26Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi dapat kunin ang pagkain ng mga bata at ibigay sa mga aso.”
27“Totoo nga, Panginoon. Ngunit ang mga aso man po ay kumakain ng mumong nalalaglag sa hapag ng kanilang panginoon,” tugon ng babae. 28At sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Ginang, napakalaki ng iyong pananampalataya! Mangyayari ang hinihiling mo.” At noon di'y gumaling ang kanyang anak.
Maraming Pinagaling si Jesus
29Pag-alis doon, naglakad si Jesus sa tabi ng Lawa ng Galilea. Umakyat siya sa bundok at naupo roon. 30Nagdatingan naman ang napakaraming taong may dalang mga pilay, bulag, lumpo, pipi, at marami pang ibang maysakit. Dinala nila ang mga ito sa paanan ni Jesus at sila'y pinagaling niya. 31Kaya't namangha ang mga tao nang makita nilang nakapagsasalita na ang mga pipi, gumaling ang mga lumpo, nakakalakad na ang mga pilay, at nakakakita na ang mga bulag. Kaya't pinuri nila ang Diyos ng Israel.
Ang Pagpapakain sa Apat na Libo
(Mc. 8:1-10)
32Tinawag ni Jesus ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi sa kanila, “Nahahabag ako sa mga taong ito. Tatlong araw na ngayong kasama natin sila at wala na silang pagkain. Ayokong paalisin sila nang gutom, baka sila mahilo sa daan.”
33Sinabi naman ng mga alagad, “Saan po tayo kukuha ng sapat na pagkain para sa ganito karaming tao sa ilang na ito?”
34“Ilan ang tinapay ninyo riyan?” tanong ni Jesus sa kanila.
“Pito po, at mayroon pang ilang maliliit na isda,” sagot nila.
35Pinaupo ni Jesus sa lupa ang mga tao. 36Kinuha niya ang pitong tinapay at ang mga isda at nagpasalamat siya sa Diyos. Pagkatapos, pinaghati-hati niya ang mga iyon at ibinigay sa mga alagad upang ipamahagi sa mga tao. 37Nakakain at nabusog ang lahat, at nang ipunin ng mga alagad ang tinapay na lumabis, nakapuno pa sila ng pitong kaing. 38May apat na libong lalaki ang nakakain, bukod pa sa mga babae at mga bata.
39Nang napauwi na ni Jesus ang mga tao, sumakay siya sa bangka at nagtungo sa lupain ng Magadan.#15:39 Magadan: Sa ibang manuskrito'y Magdala.
