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
CHAPTER 15
1Then the scribes and the Pharisees came to him from Jerusalem, and said,
2Why break thy disciples the traditions of elder men? [or Why thy disciples break the traditions, either the teachings, of elder men?] for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread.
3He answered, and said to them, Why break ye the commandment of God for your tradition[s]?
4For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and he that curseth father or mother, die he by death.
5But ye say, Whoever saith to father or mother, Whatever gift is of me, it shall profit to thee;
6and he hath not worshipped [or not honoured] his father or his mother; and ye have made the commandment of God void for your tradition[s].
7Hypocrites, Isaiah the prophet, prophesied well of you, and said,
8This people honoureth me with lips, but their heart is far from me;
9and they worship me without cause, teaching the doctrines and the commandments of men.
10And when the people were called together to him, he said to them, Hear ye, and understand ye.
11That thing that entereth into the mouth, defouleth not a man; but that thing that cometh out of the mouth, defouleth a man.
12Then his disciples came, and said to him, Thou knowest [or Knowest thou], that, if this word be heard, the Pharisees be offended?
13And he answered, and said, Every planting, that my Father of heaven hath not planted, shall be drawn up by the root.
14Suffer ye them; they be blind, and leaders of blind men. And if a blind man lead a blind man, both fall into the ditch.
15Peter answered, and said to him, Expound to us this parable.
16And he said, Yet ye be without understanding?
17Understand ye not, that all thing that entereth into the mouth, goeth into the womb, and is sent out into the going away?
18But those things that come forth from the mouth, go out from the heart, and those things defoul the man.
19For of the heart go out evil thoughts [or For out of the heart cometh evil thoughts], manslayings, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies.
20These things it be that defoul a man; but to eat with hands not washed, defouleth not a man.
21And Jesus went out from thence, and went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22And lo! a woman of Canaan went out of those coasts, and cried, and said to him, Lord, the son of David, have mercy on me; my daughter is evil travailed of a fiend [or a devil].
23And he answered not to her a word. And his disciples came, and prayed him, and said, Leave thou her, for she crieth after us.
24He answered, and said, I am not sent, but to the sheep of the house of Israel that have perished.
25And she came, and worshipped him, and said, Lord, help me.
26Which answered, and said, It is not good to take the bread of children, and cast [it] to hounds.
27And she said, Yes, Lord; for [the] whelps eat of the crumbs, that fall down from the board of their lords.
28Then Jesus answered, and said to her, A! woman, thy faith is great; be it done to thee, as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29And when Jesus had passed from thence, he came beside the sea of Galilee. And he went up into an hill, and sat there.
30And much people came to him, and had with them dumb men and crooked [men], feeble and blind, and many others; and they casted down them [or cast them down] at his feet. And he healed them,
31so that the people wondered, seeing dumb men speaking, and crooked [men] going, blind men seeing; and they magnified God of Israel.
32And Jesus, when his disciples were called together, said to them, I have ruth of the people, for they have abided now three days with me, and have nothing to eat; and I will not leave them fasting, lest they fail in the way.
33And the disciples say to him, Whereof then so many loaves among us in desert, to fulfill so great a people? [And the disciples say to him, Therefore whereof so many loaves to us in desert, that we fill so great a company of people?]
34And Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes [or a few little fishes].
35And he commanded to the people, to sit to [the] meat on the earth.
36And he took the seven loaves and five fishes, and did thankings, and brake them, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the people.
37And all ate, and were fulfilled [or were filled], and they took that that was left of [the] remnants, seven baskets full.
38And they that ate were four thousand of men, without little children and women.
39And when he had left the people, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
