Mattityahu 15
15
1Then Perushim and Sofrim (rabbonim) from Yerushalayim approach Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying,
2Why do your talmidim transgress the Masoret HaZekenim (the Tradition of the Elders)? For they do not do the netilat yadayim before meals.
3But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, in reply to them, said, Why [do] also you transgress the mitzvat Hashem for the sake of your own masoros?
4For Hashem has said, KABED ES AVICHA VES IMMECHA#15:4 Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16 (honor your father and your mother), and MKALEL AVIV VIMMO MOT YUMAT#15:4 Ex 21:17; Lv 20:9 (the one cursing his father and mother, to die he must die).
5But you say, Whoever says to his abba or his em, whatever support you might have had from me, [it is] a gift.#15:5 i.e., korban, dedicated to G-d
6By no means does [anyone who says this] honor his abba or em. And you nullify the Dvar Hashem on account of your masoros.
7You tzevuim, well did Yeshayah give a dvar hanevuah concerning you, saying,
8YAAN KI NIGASH HAAM HAZEH BEFIV UVISHFATAV KI-BDUNI VLIBO RICHAK MIMENI, (This people with their lips honor me, but their heart is far away from me),
9VATEHI YIRATAM OTI MITZVAT ANASHIM MELUMADAH#15:9 Isa 29:13 (and in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the mitzvot of [mere] men).
10And having summoned the multitude, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Listen and understand!
11It is not the thing entering into the mouth that makes the man tameh (unclean), but the thing going out from the mouth, this makes the man tameh.
12Then Moshiachʼs talmidim approached and say to him, Do you know that the Perushim took offense when they heard [this] dvar?
13But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, in reply, said, Every plant which Avi shbaShomayim did not plant will be uprooted.
14Leave them. They are blind morei derech (guides, teachers) of [the] blind. And if the ivver (blind man) leads the ivrim (blind), both will fall into a pit.
15And Kefa said in reply to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Explain to us the mashal.
16And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Are you still devoid of binah (understanding)?
17Do you not have daas that everything which enters into the mouth goes into the stomach and passes into a latrine?
18But the things coming out from the mouth come out from the lev (heart), which makes tameh.
19For out of the lev comes evil machshavot (thoughts): retzichot (murders), niufim (adulteries), zenunim (fornications), genevot (thefts), eduyot sheker (false testimonies), giddufim (revilements).
20These are the things making the man tameh, but eating with hands lacking the netilat yadayim (ritual of the washing of the hands),#15:20 See Mt 27:24 this does not make the man tameh.
21And having gone from that place, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach withdrew into the districts of Tzor and Tzidon.
22And a woman from Kena'an came out from those regions, and was shouting, Have mercy on me, Adoni, Ben Dovid! My bat is in torment possessed by shedim.
23But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach did not answer her a word. And Moshiachʼs talmidim having approached, were asking him, saying, Send her away; she shouts after us.
24But, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, I was not sent except to the Seh Oveid Beis Yisroel (the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel).
25But she came and fell down before him, saying, Adoni, azreini (L-rd, help me).
26But, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, It is not good to take the lechem of the Banim and throw it to the kelevim (dogs).
27But she said, Ken, Adoni, but even the kelevim eat the crumbs falling from the tish (table) of their masters.
28Then, in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to her, O woman, great [is] your emunah. Let it be done for you as you wish. And the bat (daughter) of her was given refuah (healing) at that very hour.
29And having passed over from that place, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came beside Lake Kinneret, and having gone up the mountain, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was sitting there.
30And great multitudes approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having with them pisechim (lame), ivrim (blind), the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they laid them at Moshiachʼs feet, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave the cholim (sick persons) refuah (healing).
31The result was that the multitude was astounded, witnessing mute people speaking, cripples made whole, the pisechim (lame) walking, and the ivrim (blind people) seeing, and they gave kavod to Elohei Yisroel.
32And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having summoned his talmidim, said, I have rachmei shomayim for the multitudes, for already shloshah yamim (three days) they remain with me and they do not have anything they may eat, and I do not want to send them away famished, lest they might faint on the way.
33And Moshiachʼs talmidim say to him, From where bamidbar (in the wilderness) is there enough lechem for us to feed such a vast multitude?
34And he says to them, How much lechem, how many loaves do you have? And they said, Sheva, and a few dagim.
35And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave the command for the multitude to recline on the ground,
36Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the loaves numbering sheva and the dagim, and, making a bracha, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach offered the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread) and served them to the talmidim, and Moshiachʼs talmidim served them to the multitudes.
37And everyone ate and they were satisfied, and the Rebbeʼs farbrengen shirayim were numbering sheva baskets full.
38And the ones eating were arbaat elafim (four thousand) men, not counting nashim and yeladim.
39And having sent away the multitudes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach embarked in the sirah (boat), and came to the region of Magadan.

Matthew 15
15
Matthew 15
1¶ Then certain scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem came unto Jesus, saying,
2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother, and, He that curses father or mother, let him die without recourse.
5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever I might have helped thee with is already my offering unto God,
6and now has no need to honour his father or his mother with succour. Thus ye have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8This people draws nigh unto me with their mouth and honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.
10¶ And calling the multitude unto him, he said unto them, Hear and understand:
11not that which goes into the mouth defiles the man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
12Then his disciples came and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this word?
13But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
14Let them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into a pit.
15Then Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17Do not ye yet understand that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly and is cast out into the draught?
18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man.
19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20these are the things which defile the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
21¶ Then Jesus left there and departed into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
22And, behold, a woman of Canaan having come out of the same borders cried unto him, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me; my daughter is sick, possessed by a demon.
23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away, for she cries out after us.
24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25Then she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26But he answered and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread and to cast it to the little dogs.
27And she said, Yes, Lord, yet the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee even as thou desire. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29¶ And Jesus left there and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee and went up into the mountain and sat down there.
30And many people came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many other sick and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them,
31insomuch that the multitude wondered when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.
32Then Jesus called his disciples unto him and said, I have mercy on the multitude because they persevere with me now three days and have nothing to eat, and I desire not to send them away fasting lest they faint in the way.
33Then his disciples say unto him, From where do we have so much bread in the wilderness as to satisfy so great a multitude?
34And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven and a few little fishes.
35And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36And he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37And they all ate and were filled, and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets full.
38And those that ate were four thousand men besides women and children.
39And he sent away the multitude and took ship and came into the borders of Magdala.
