1Da kamen zu Jesus Pharisäer und Schriftgelehrte aus Jerusalem und sprachen: (Mk 7,1)2Warum übertreten deine Jünger die Überlieferung der Ältesten? Denn sie waschen ihre Hände nicht, wenn sie Brot essen. (Lk 11,38)3Er antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Warum übertretet denn ihr Gottes Gebot um eurer Überlieferung willen?4Denn Gott hat gesagt: »Du sollst Vater und Mutter ehren«, und: »Wer Vater oder Mutter schmäht, der soll des Todes sterben.« (2Mo 20,12; 2Mo 21,17)5Ihr aber lehrt: Wer zu Vater oder Mutter sagt: Eine Opfergabe soll sein, was dir von mir zusteht, (Spr 28,24; 1Tim 5,8)6der braucht seinen Vater nicht zu ehren. Damit habt ihr Gottes Wort aufgehoben um eurer Überlieferung willen.7Ihr Heuchler, richtig hat Jesaja von euch geweissagt und gesprochen:8»Dies Volk ehrt mich mit den Lippen, aber ihr Herz ist fern von mir;9vergeblich dienen sie mir, weil sie lehren solche Lehren, die nichts als Menschengebote sind.« (Kol 2,22)10Und er rief das Volk zu sich und sprach zu ihnen: Hört zu und begreift:11Nicht was zum Mund hineingeht, macht den Menschen unrein; sondern was aus dem Mund herauskommt, das macht den Menschen unrein. (Apg 10,15; 1Tim 4,4; Tit 1,15)12Da traten die Jünger hinzu und sprachen zu ihm: Weißt du auch, dass die Pharisäer an dem Wort Anstoß nahmen, als sie es hörten?13Aber er antwortete und sprach: Alle Pflanzen, die mein himmlischer Vater nicht gepflanzt hat, die werden ausgerissen. (Apg 5,38)14Lasst sie, sie sind blinde Blindenführer! Wenn aber ein Blinder den andern führt, so fallen sie beide in die Grube. (Mt 23,16; Mt 23,24; Lk 6,39; Röm 2,19)15Da antwortete Petrus und sprach zu ihm: Deute uns dies Gleichnis!16Er sprach zu ihnen: Seid denn auch ihr noch immer unverständig?17Versteht ihr nicht, dass alles, was zum Mund hineingeht, das geht in den Bauch und wird danach in die Grube ausgeleert?18Was aber aus dem Mund herauskommt, das kommt aus dem Herzen, und das macht den Menschen unrein. (Mt 12,34)19Denn aus dem Herzen kommen böse Gedanken, Mord, Ehebruch, Unzucht, Diebstahl, falsches Zeugnis, Lästerung. (1Mo 8,21; Röm 1,29; Gal 5,19; Eph 5,3)20Das sind die Dinge, die den Menschen unrein machen. Aber mit ungewaschenen Händen essen macht den Menschen nicht unrein.
Die kanaanäische Frau
21Und Jesus ging weg von dort und entwich in die Gegend von Tyrus und Sidon. (Mk 7,24)22Und siehe, eine kanaanäische Frau kam aus diesem Gebiet und schrie: Ach, Herr, du Sohn Davids, erbarme dich meiner! Meine Tochter wird von einem bösen Geist übel geplagt.23Er aber antwortete ihr kein Wort. Da traten seine Jünger zu ihm, baten ihn und sprachen: Lass sie doch gehen[1], denn sie schreit uns nach.24Er antwortete aber und sprach: Ich bin nur gesandt zu den verlorenen Schafen des Hauses Israel. (Mt 10,5; Röm 15,8)25Sie aber kam und fiel vor ihm nieder und sprach: Herr, hilf mir!26Aber er antwortete und sprach: Es ist nicht recht, dass man den Kindern ihr Brot nehme und werfe es vor die Hunde.27Sie sprach: Ja, Herr; aber doch essen die Hunde von den Brosamen, die vom Tisch ihrer Herren fallen.28Da antwortete Jesus und sprach zu ihr: Frau, dein Glaube ist groß. Dir geschehe, wie du willst! Und ihre Tochter wurde gesund zu derselben Stunde. (Mt 8,10; Mt 8,13)
Weitere Heilungen
29Und Jesus ging von dort weiter und kam an das Galiläische Meer und ging auf einen Berg und setzte sich dort.30Und es kam eine große Menge zu ihm; die hatten bei sich Lahme, Blinde, Verkrüppelte, Stumme und viele andere und legten sie ihm vor die Füße, und er heilte sie,31sodass sich das Volk verwunderte, als sie sahen, dass die Stummen redeten, die Verkrüppelten gesund waren, die Lahmen gingen und die Blinden sahen; und sie priesen den Gott Israels. (Mt 11,5; Mk 7,37)
Die Speisung der Viertausend
32Und Jesus rief seine Jünger zu sich und sprach: Das Volk jammert mich; denn sie harren nun schon drei Tage bei mir aus und haben nichts zu essen; und ich will sie nicht hungrig gehen lassen, damit sie nicht verschmachten auf dem Wege. (Mt 14,13; Mk 8,1)33Da sprachen die Jünger zu ihm: Woher sollen wir so viel Brot nehmen in der Einöde, um eine so große Menge zu sättigen?34Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Wie viele Brote habt ihr? Sie sprachen: Sieben, und ein paar Fische.35Und er ließ das Volk sich lagern auf die Erde36und nahm die sieben Brote und die Fische, dankte, brach sie und gab sie den Jüngern, und die Jünger gaben sie dem Volk.37Und sie aßen alle und wurden satt; und sie sammelten auf, was an Brocken übrig blieb, sieben Körbe voll.38Und die da gegessen hatten, waren viertausend Männer, ohne Frauen und Kinder.39Und als er das Volk hatte gehen lassen, stieg er ins Boot und kam in das Gebiet von Magadan.
Matthäus 15
King James Version
1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not 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 curseth father or mother, let him die the death.5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;6And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth 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 a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.21Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.22And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the 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 wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.29And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.30And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, 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 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.33And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?34And Jesus saith 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 brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.37And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.38And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.39And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala,
1Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, (Mk 3,22; Mk 7,1)2“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” (Mt 9,11; Lk 11,38; Gal 1,14; Kol 2,8)3He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?4For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ (2Mo 20,12; 2Mo 21,17)5But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”[1]6he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word[2] of God. (Röm 2,23; Gal 3,17)7You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: (Mt 23,13)8“‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; (Jes 29,13; Hes 33,31)9in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’” (Kol 2,22; Tit 1,14)
What Defiles a Person
10And he called the people to him and said to them, “Hear and understand: (Mt 13,51)11it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” (Apg 10,14)12Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” (Mt 13,57; Lk 7,23)13He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. (Jes 60,21; Jes 61,3; Joh 15,1; 1Kor 3,9; Jud 1,12)14Let them alone; they are blind guides.[3] And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” (Jes 56,10; Mal 2,8; Mt 23,16; Mt 23,24; Lk 6,39)15But Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.” (Mt 13,36)16And he said, “Are you also still without understanding? (Mt 16,9)17Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?[4] (1Kor 6,13)18But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. (Mt 12,34; Jak 3,6)19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. (2Mo 20,13; Mt 5,22; Mt 5,28; Eph 4,31; Kol 3,8; 1Tim 6,4; Jak 2,4)20These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.” (Mk 7,2; Mk 7,5; 1Kor 6,9)
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman
21And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. (Mk 7,24)22And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” (1Mo 10,15; 1Mo 10,19; Ri 1,30; Mt 9,27)23But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” (Mt 14,15)24He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Mt 10,5; Röm 15,8)25But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” (Mt 8,2)26And he answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” (Mt 7,6)27She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” (Lk 16,21)28Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.[5] (Mt 8,13; Mt 9,2; Mt 9,22; Mt 17,18; Joh 4,52)
Jesus Heals Many
29Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there. (Mt 4,18; Mt 5,1; Mk 7,31; Joh 6,1)30And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, (Mt 11,5)31so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel. (Jes 29,23; Mt 9,8; Mt 9,33; Mt 18,8; Mk 9,43; Lk 1,68; Apg 13,17)
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand
32Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” (Mt 9,36; Mt 14,14; Mk 8,1)33And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?”34And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” (Mt 16,10)35And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground,36he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. (Mt 26,27; Mk 14,23; Lk 22,17; Lk 22,19; Joh 6,11; Joh 6,23; Apg 27,35; Röm 14,6; 1Kor 10,30; 1Kor 11,24; 1Kor 14,16; 1Tim 4,3)37And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. (2Kön 4,42)38Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.39And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan. (Mk 8,10)
