1 Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying:
1 ENTONCES llegaron á Jesús ciertos escribas y Fariseos de Jerusalem, diciendo:
1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
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.
2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
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?
3 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
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.
4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
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;
5 But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
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.
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
7 Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:
7 Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, diciendo:
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
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.
8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
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.
9 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
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:
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
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.
11 That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
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?
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
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.
13 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
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.
14 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
15 And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
15 Y respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Decláranos esta parábola.
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
16 Y Jesús dijo: ¿Aun también vosotros sois sin entendimiento?
16 So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
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?
17 Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
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.
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
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.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
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.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
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.
21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
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.
22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
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.
23 But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
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.
24 But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.
25 Entonces ella vino, y le adoró, diciendo: Señor, socórreme.
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
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.
26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
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.
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
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.
28 Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
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.
29 Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.
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:
30 Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,
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.
31 so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of 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.
32 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
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?
33 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
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.
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.
35 Y mandó á las gentes que se recostasen sobre la tierra.
35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
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.
36 and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
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.
37 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
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.
38 Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
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.
39 Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

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.
