1 Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying:
1 ENTONCES llegaron á Jesús ciertos escribas y Fariseos de Jerusalem, diciendo:
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
2 ¿Por qué tus discípulos traspasan la tradición de los ancianos? porque no se lavan las manos cuando comen pan.
3 But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:
3 Y él respondiendo, les dijo: ¿Por qué también vosotros traspasáis el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición?
4 Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the 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: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee.
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 And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for 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 Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:
7 Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, diciendo:
8 This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.
8 Este pueblo de labios me honra; mas su corazón lejos está de mí.
9 And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.
9 Mas en vano me honran, enseñando doctrinas [y] mandamientos de hombres.
10 And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.
10 Y llamando á sí las gentes, les dijo: Oid, y entended:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
11 No lo que entra en la boca contamina al hombre; mas lo que sale de la boca, esto contamina al hombre.
12 Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?
12 Entonces llegándose sus discípulos, le dijeron: ¿Sabes que los Fariseos oyendo esta palabra se ofendieron?
13 But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
13 Mas respondiendo él, dijo: Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial, será desarraigada.
14 Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
14 Dejadlos: son ciegos guías de ciegos; y si el ciego guiare al ciego, ambos caerán en el hoyo.
15 And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
15 Y respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Decláranos esta parábola.
16 But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
16 Y Jesús dijo: ¿Aun también vosotros sois sin entendimiento?
17 Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?
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 which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.
18 Mas lo que sale de la boca, del corazón sale; y esto contamina al hombre.
19 For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, muertes, adulterios, fornicaciones, hurtos, falsos testimonios, blasfemias.
20 These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
20 Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre: que comer con las manos por lavar no contamina al hombre.
21 And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
21 Y saliendo Jesús de allí, se fué á las partes de Tiro y de Sidón.
22 And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil.
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 Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:
23 Mas él no le respondió palabra. Entonces llegándose sus discípulos, le rogaron, diciendo: Despáchala, pues da voces tras nosotros.
24 And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.
24 Y él respondiendo, dijo: No soy enviado sino á las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel.
25 But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.
25 Entonces ella vino, y le adoró, diciendo: Señor, socórreme.
26 Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.
26 Y respondiendo él, dijo: No es bien tomar el pan de los hijos, y echarlo á los perrillos.
27 But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.
27 Y ella dijo: Sí, Señor; mas los perrillos comen de las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus señores.
28 Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that 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 And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee. And going up into a mountain, he sat there.
29 Y partido Jesús de allí, vino junto al mar de Galilea: y subiendo al monte, se sentó allí.
30 And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down 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 So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see: 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 And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in 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 And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?
33 Entonces sus discípulos le dicen: ¿Dónde tenemos nosotros tantos panes en el desierto, que hartemos á tan gran compañía?
34 And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.
34 Y Jesús les dice: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete, y unos pocos pececillos.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.
35 Y mandó á las gentes que se recostasen sobre la tierra.
36 And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples 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 And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.
37 Y comieron todos, y se hartaron: y alzaron lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete espuertas llenas.
38 And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.
38 Y eran los que habían comido, cuatro mil hombres, sin las mujeres y los niños.
39 And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.
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.
