1 Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
1 ENTONCES llegaron á Jesús ciertos escribas y Fariseos de Jerusalem, diciendo:
2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”
2 ¿Por qué tus discípulos traspasan la tradición de los ancianos? porque no se lavan las manos cuando comen pan.
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
3 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿Por qué también vosotros traspasáis el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición?
4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
4 Porque Dios mandó, diciendo: Honra al padre y á la madre, y, El que maldijere al padre ó á la madre, muera de muerte.
5 But you say that if anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’
5 Mas vosotros decís: Cualquiera que dijere al padre ó á la madre: [Es ya] ofrenda mía [á Dios] todo aquello con que pudiera valerte;
6 he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
6 No deberá honrar á su padre ó á su madre [con socorro]. Así habéis invalidado el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición.
7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:
7 Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, diciendo:
8 ‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.
8 Este pueblo de labios me honra; mas su corazón lejos está de mí.
9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
9 Mas en vano me honran, enseñando doctrinas [y] mandamientos de hombres.
10 Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.
10 Y llamando á sí las gentes, les dijo: Oid, y entended:
11 A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”
11 No lo que entra en la boca contamina al hombre; mas lo que sale de la boca, esto contamina al hombre.
12 Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
12 Entonces llegándose sus discípulos, le dijeron: ¿Sabes que los Fariseos oyendo esta palabra se ofendieron?
13 But Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.
13 Mas respondiendo él, dijo: Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial, será desarraigada.
14 Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
14 Dejadlos: son ciegos guías de ciegos; y si el ciego guiare al ciego, ambos caerán en el hoyo.
15 Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
15 Y respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Decláranos esta parábola.
16 “Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.
16 Y Jesús dijo: ¿Aun también vosotros sois sin entendimiento?
17 “Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?
17 ¿No entendéis aún, que todo lo que entra en la boca, va al vientre, y es echado en la letrina?
18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man.
18 Mas lo que sale de la boca, del corazón sale; y esto contamina al hombre.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, muertes, adulterios, fornicaciones, hurtos, falsos testimonios, blasfemias.
20 These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”
20 Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre: que comer con las manos por lavar no contamina al hombre.
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
21 Y saliendo Jesús de allí, se fué á las partes de Tiro y de Sidón.
22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”
22 Y he aquí una mujer Cananea, que había salido de aquellos términos, clamaba, diciéndole: Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí; mi hija es malamente atormentada del demonio.
23 But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
23 Mas él no le respondió palabra. Entonces llegándose sus discípulos, le rogaron, diciendo: Despáchala, pues da voces tras nosotros.
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
24 Y él respondiendo, dijo: No soy enviado sino á las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel.
25 The woman came and knelt before Him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
25 Entonces ella vino, y le adoró, diciendo: Señor, socórreme.
26 But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
26 Y respondiendo él, dijo: No es bien tomar el pan de los hijos, y echarlo á los perrillos.
27 “Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
27 Y ella dijo: Sí, Señor; mas los perrillos comen de las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus señores.
28 “O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
28 Entonces respondiendo Jesús, dijo: Oh mujer, grande es tu fe; sea hecho contigo como quieres. Y fué sana su hija desde aquella hora.
29 Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.
29 Y partido Jesús de allí, vino junto al mar de Galilea: y subiendo al monte, se sentó allí.
30 Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.
30 Y llegaron á él muchas gentes, que tenían consigo cojos, ciegos, mudos, mancos, y otros muchos [enfermos]: y los echaron á los pies de Jesús, y los sanó:
31 The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
31 De manera que se maravillaban las gentes, viendo hablar los mudos, los mancos sanos, andar los cojos, y ver los ciegos: y glorificaron al Dios de Israel.
32 Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”
32 Y Jesús llamando á sus discípulos, dijo: Tengo lástima de la gente, que ya [hace] tres días [que] perseveran conmigo, y no tienen qué comer; y enviarlos ayunos no quiero, porque no desmayen en el camino.
33 The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”
33 Entonces sus discípulos le dicen: ¿Dónde tenemos nosotros tantos panes en el desierto, que hartemos á tan gran compañía?
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
34 Y Jesús les dice: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete, y unos pocos pececillos.
35 And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.
35 Y mandó á las gentes que se recostasen sobre la tierra.
36 Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
36 Y tomando los siete panes y los peces, haciendo gracias, partió y dió á sus discípulos; y los discípulos á la gente.
37 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
37 Y comieron todos, y se hartaron: y alzaron lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete espuertas llenas.
38 A total of four thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
38 Y eran los que habían comido, cuatro mil hombres, sin las mujeres y los niños.
39 After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
39 Entonces, despedidas las gentes, subió en el barco: y vino á los términos de Magdalá.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This woman of Canaan, who has just now been brought before us in the lesson of the Gospel, shows us an example of humility, and the way of godliness; shows us how to rise from humility unto exaltation.

Then; when? when He had wrought His countless miracles; when He had healed the infirm by the touch of the hem of His garment. For even with this intent doth the evangelist mark the time, that He might signify their unspeakable wickedness, by nothing repressed.

For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "This people honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." And again: "They bless with their mouth, but curse with their heart." And again it saith, "They loved Him with their mouth, and lied to Him with their tongue; but their heart was not right with Him, neither …
… the simple command of God; that is, they set up a spurious law, and one contrary to the [true] law; as also the Lord made plain, when He said to them, "Why do ye transgress the commandment of God, for the sake of your tradition?" For not only by actual transgression did they set the law of God at nought, …
For He says in the Gospel, "I am not sent save to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," which He here compared to the pupil of God's eye, to signify the profoundest love.
