1 Then some Pharisees and religious teachers from Jerusalem came to Jesus and asked him,
1 ENTONCES llegaron á Jesús ciertos escribas y Fariseos de Jerusalem, diciendo:
2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of our forefathers by not washing their hands before they eat a meal?”
2 ¿Por qué tus discípulos traspasan la tradición de los ancianos? porque no se lavan las manos cuando comen pan.
3 “Why do you break God's commandment because of your tradition?” Jesus replied.
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 ‘Those who curse their father or mother should 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 someone tells their father or mother, ‘Whatever you might have expected to get from me is now a gift to God,’ then
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 they don't have to honor their father. In this way you've annulled God's word 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! How well Isaiah described you when he prophesied:
7 Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, diciendo:
8 ‘These people say they honor me but in their minds they don't care about me.
8 Este pueblo de labios me honra; mas su corazón lejos está de mí.
9 Their worship of me is pointless. What they teach are just man-made requirements.’”
9 Mas en vano me honran, enseñando doctrinas [y] mandamientos de hombres.
10 He called the crowd over and told them, “Listen, and understand this:
10 Y llamando á sí las gentes, les dijo: Oid, y entended:
11 it's not what goes into you through your mouth that defiles you. It's what comes out of your mouth that defiles you.”
11 No lo que entra en la boca contamina al hombre; mas lo que sale de la boca, esto contamina al hombre.
12 Then Jesus' disciples came to him and said, “You do realize that the Pharisees were offended by what you said.”
12 Entonces llegándose sus discípulos, le dijeron: ¿Sabes que los Fariseos oyendo esta palabra se ofendieron?
13 “Every plant my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted,” Jesus replied.
13 Mas respondiendo él, dijo: Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial, será desarraigada.
14 “Forget about them—they are blind guides. If a blind man leads another blind man, then they'll both fall into a ditch.”
14 Dejadlos: son ciegos guías de ciegos; y si el ciego guiare al ciego, ambos caerán en el hoyo.
15 Then Peter asked, “Please tell us what you mean by this illustration.”
15 Y respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Decláranos esta parábola.
16 “Haven't you understood this yet?” replied Jesus.
16 Y Jesús dijo: ¿Aun también vosotros sois sin entendimiento?
17 “Don't you see that whatever goes in through the mouth then passes through the stomach, and then leaves the body as waste?
17 ¿No entendéis aún, que todo lo que entra en la boca, va al vientre, y es echado en la letrina?
18 But what comes out through the mouth comes from the mind, and that's what defiles you.
18 Mas lo que sale de la boca, del corazón sale; y esto contamina al hombre.
19 For what comes from the mind are evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and blasphemy
19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, muertes, adulterios, fornicaciones, hurtos, falsos testimonios, blasfemias.
20 and those are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands doesn't defile you.”
20 Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre: que comer con las manos por lavar no contamina al hombre.
21 Jesus left and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
21 Y saliendo Jesús de allí, se fué á las partes de Tiro y de Sidón.
22 A Canaanite woman from that area came, shouting out, “Lord, son of David! Please have mercy on me, because my daughter is suffering badly because she's 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 didn't reply at all. His disciples came to him and told him, “Tell her to stop following us. All her shouting is really annoying!”
23 Mas él no le respondió palabra. Entonces llegándose sus discípulos, le rogaron, diciendo: Despáchala, pues da voces tras nosotros.
24 “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” Jesus said to the woman.
24 Y él respondiendo, dijo: No soy enviado sino á las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel.
25 But the woman came and kneeled before him, and said, “Lord, please help me!”
25 Entonces ella vino, y le adoró, diciendo: Señor, socórreme.
26 “It's not right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs,” Jesus told her.
26 Y respondiendo él, dijo: No es bien tomar el pan de los hijos, y echarlo á los perrillos.
27 “Yes, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat crumbs that fall from their master's table,” she replied.
27 Y ella dijo: Sí, Señor; mas los perrillos comen de las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus señores.
28 “You have great trust in me,” Jesus answered. “Your wish is granted!” And her daughter was healed immediately.
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 Jesus returned, passing by the Sea of Galilee. He went into the mountains nearby where he sat down.
29 Y partido Jesús de allí, vino junto al mar de Galilea: y subiendo al monte, se sentó allí.
30 Huge crowds came to him, bringing those who were lame, blind, crippled, dumb, and many others who were sick. They laid them on the ground 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 astounded at what they saw happen: the deaf could speak, the crippled were healed, the lame could walk, and the blind could see. They praised 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 Jesus called his disciples over and told them, “I feel really sorry for all these people, because they've been with me now for three days, and they have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry, in case they faint on their way home.”
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 “Where could we find enough bread here in this desert to feed such a huge crowd?” the disciples responded.
33 Entonces sus discípulos le dicen: ¿Dónde tenemos nosotros tantos panes en el desierto, que hartemos á tan gran compañía?
34 “How many loaves of bread do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven, and a few small fish,” they replied.
34 Y Jesús les dice: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete, y unos pocos pececillos.
35 Jesus told the crowd to sit down on the ground.
35 Y mandó á las gentes que se recostasen sobre la tierra.
36 He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after blessing the food he broke it into pieces and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the crowds.
36 Y tomando los siete panes y los peces, haciendo gracias, partió y dió á sus discípulos; y los discípulos á la gente.
37 Everybody ate until they were full, and then they collected the leftovers, filling seven baskets.
37 Y comieron todos, y se hartaron: y alzaron lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete espuertas llenas.
38 Four thousand men ate the food, not counting women and children.
38 Y eran los que habían comido, cuatro mil hombres, sin las mujeres y los niños.
39 Then he sent the crowds away, got into a boat, and went to the Magadan region.
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.
