15:1 Then came to Yeshua (ישוע) Sofrim and P'rushim, which were of Yerushalayim, saying,
15:2 Why do thy Talmidim transgress the masoret (tradition) of the Zekenim (elders)? for they wash not their hands when they eat lechem.
15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the mitzvat Elohim (אלהים) by your masoret (tradition)?
15:4 For Elohim (אלהים) commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be free]. Thus have ye made the mitzvat Elohim (אלהים) of none effect by your masoret (tradition).
15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did YeshaYahu prophesy about you, saying,
15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from Me. (YeshaYahu 29:13)
15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] teachings the mitzvot of men.
15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Shema, and understand:
15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
15:12 Then came His Talmidim, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the P'rushim were offended, after they heard this saying?
15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my shamayimly AVI hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15:15 Then answered Kefa and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
15:16 And Yeshua (ישוע) said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
15:20 These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
(Mark 7:24-30 CJB)
15:21 Then Yeshua (ישוע) went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
15:22 And, hinnei, a woman of *Kenaan (merchant) came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Adonay,[thou] BEN Davyid; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. *Hoshea 12:17
15:23 But he answered her not a word. And His Talmidim came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the Bayit Yisrael.
15:25 Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Adonay, help me.
15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's lechem, and to cast [it] to dogs.
15:27 And she said, Truth, Adonay: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
15:28 Then Yeshua (ישוע) answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
15:29 And Yeshua (ישוע) departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galil; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, pisechim (lame), and many others, and cast them down at Yeshua' (יהושע) feet; and he healed them:
15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the pisechim (lame) to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the Elohim (אלהים) of Yisrael.
15:32 Then Yeshua (ישוע) called His Talmidim [unto him], and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
15:33 And His Talmidim say unto him, Whence should we have so much lechem in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
15:34 And Yeshua (ישוע) saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake [them], and gave to His Talmidim, and the Talmidim to the multitude.
15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.
15:38 And they that did eat were arbaat elafim (four thousand) men, beside women and children.
15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
