- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 Then came to Iesus the Scribes and Pharises, which were of Hierusalem, 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 transgresse the tradition of the Elders? for they wash not their hands when they eate 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 answered and said vnto them, Why doe yee also transgresse the commandement of God by your tradition?
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 For God hath commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and he that curseth 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 ye say, Whosoeuer shall say to father or mother, By the gift that is offered by me, thou maiest haue profite,
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 Though hee honour not his father, or his mother, shalbe free: thus haue ye made the commandement of God of no aucthoritie by 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 O hypocrites, Esaias prophecied well of you, saying,
7 Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, diciendo:
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth neere vnto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with the lips, but their heart is farre off 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 But in vaine they worship me, teaching for doctrines, mens precepts.
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 Then hee called the multitude vnto him, and said to them, Heare and vnderstand.
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 That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man, but that which commeth out of the mouth, that defileth the 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 saide vnto him, Perceiuest thou not, that the Pharises are offended in hearing this saying?
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 hee answered and saide, Euery plant which mine heauenly Father hath not planted, shalbe rooted vp.
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 be the blinde leaders of the blinde: and if the blinde leade ye blinde, both shall fall into the ditche.
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 Then answered Peter, and said to him, Declare vnto vs this parable.
15 Y respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Decláranos esta parábola.
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 Then said Iesus, Are ye yet without vnderstanding?
16 Y Jesús dijo: ¿Aun también vosotros sois sin entendimiento?
16 So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
17 Perceiue ye not yet, that whatsoeuer entreth into the mouth, goeth into the bellie, and is cast out into the draught?
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 those thinges which proceede out of the mouth, come from the heart, and they defile the 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 out of the heart come euil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, slaunders.
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, which defile the man: but to eat with vnwashen hands, defileth not ye 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 Iesus went thence, and departed into the coastes of Tyrus 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 beholde, a woman a Cananite came out of the same coasts, and cried, saying vnto him, Haue mercie on me, O Lord, the sonne of Dauid: my daughter is miserably vexed with a deuil.
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 But hee answered her not a worde. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him, saying, Sende her away, for she crieth after vs.
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 But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but vnto the lost sheepe 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 Yet she came, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, helpe me.
25 Entonces ella vino, y le adoró, diciendo: Señor, socórreme.
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 And he answered, and said, It is not good to take the childrens bread, and to cast it to whelps.
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, Trueth, Lord: yet in deede the whelpes eate of the crommes, which fall from their masters table.
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 Iesus answered, and saide vnto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was made whole at that houre.
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 So Iesus went away from thence, and came neere vnto the sea of Galile, and went vp into a mountaine and sate downe 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 great multitudes came vnto him, hauing with them, halt, blinde, dumme, maymed, and many other, and cast them downe at Iesus feete, 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 In so much that the multitude wondered, to see the dumme speake, the maimed whole, the halt to goe, and the blinde to 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 Then Iesus called his disciples vnto him, and said, I haue compassion on this multitude, because they haue continued with mee already three dayes, and haue nothing to eate: and I wil not let them depart fasting, least 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 his disciples saide vnto him, Whence should we get so much bread in the wildernes, as should suffice 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 Iesus said vnto them, How many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen, and a few litle 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 Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on 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 tooke the seuen loaues, and the fishes, and gaue thankes, and brake them, and gaue to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
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 eate, and were sufficed: and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, seuen baskets full.
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 had eaten, were foure thousand men, beside women, and litle children.
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 Then Iesus sent away the multitude, and tooke ship, and came into the partes of Magdala.
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.
