- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 Then came to Iesus scribes and pharises from Ierusalem sayinge:
1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
2 why do thy disciples transgresse the tradicions of the elders? for they wesshe not their hondes when they eate breed.
2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 He answered and sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse the commaundment of God thorowe youre tradicions?
3 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4 For God commaunded sayinge: honoure thy father and mother and he that cursseth father or mother shall suffer deeth.
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 saye every man shall saye to his father or mother: That which thou desyrest of me to helpe the with: is geven God:
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 so shall he not honoure his father or his mother. And thus haue ye made that the commaundment of God is with out effecte through youre tradicions.
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
7 Ypocrites well prophesyed of you Esay sayinge:
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouthes and honoureth me with their lippes howbe it their hertes are farre from me:
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 vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctrines whiche are nothing but mens precepts.
9 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
10 And he called the people vnto him and sayde to them: heare and vnderstande.
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
11 That which goeth into the mouth defyleth not the man: but that which commeth out of the mouth defyleth the man.
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 sayde vnto him. Perceavest thou not how that the pharises are offended in hearinge thys sayinge?
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13 He answered and sayde: all plantes which my hevely father hath not planted shalbe plucked vp by the rotes.
13 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
14 Let them alone they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leede the blynde boothe shall fall into the dyche.
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 sayd to him: declare vnto vs this parable.
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 Then sayde Iesus: are ye yet with oute vnderstondinge?
16 So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
17 perceave ye not that what soever goeth in at the mouth descendeth doune in to the bely and is cast out into the draught?
17 Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
18 But those thingis which procede out of the mouth come from the herte and they defyle the man.
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 herte come evyll thoughtis murder breakyng of wedlocke whordo theefte falce witnes berynge blasphemye.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
20 These are the thingis which defyle a man. But to eate with vnwesshen hondes defyleth not a man.
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 in to the costis of Tyre and Sidon.
21 Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And beholde a woman which was a Cananite came out of the same coostis and cryed vnto him sayinge: have mercy on me Lorde the sonne of David my doughter is pytiously vexed with a devyll.
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 And he gave her never a worde to answer. Then came to him his disciples and besought him sayinge: sende her awaye for she foloweth vs cryinge.
23 But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
24 He answered and sayde: I am not sent but vnto the loost shepe of the housse of Israel.
24 But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Then she came and worshipped him sayinge: master helpe me.
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 He answered and sayde: it is not good to take the chyldrens breed and to cast it to whelpes.
26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
27 She answered and sayde: truthe Lorde: neverthelesse the whelpes eate of the cromes which fall from their masters table.
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Iesus answered and sayde vnto her. O woman greate is thy faith be it to the even as thou desyrest. And her doughter was made whole even at that same houre.
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 Then Iesus went awaye from thence and came nye vnto the see of Galile and went vp in to a mountayne and sat doune there.
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 moche people came vnto him havinge with the halt blynde domme maymed and other many: and cast them doune at Iesus fete. And he healed them
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 moche that the people wondred to se the dome speake the maymed whole the halt to go and the blynde to se. And they glorified the God of 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 to him and sayde: I have compassion on the people because they have cotynued with me now .iii. dayes and have nought to eate: and I wyll not let them departe fastinge leste they perisshe in the waye.
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 sayd vnto him: whence shuld we get so moche breed in the wildernes as shuld suffise so greate a multitude?
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 sayde vnto them: how many loves have ye? And they sayde: seven and a feawe litle fysshes.
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 And he commaunded the people to syt doune on the grounde:
35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
36 and toke the seven loves and the fysshes and gave thankes and brake them and gave to his disciples and the disciples gave them to the people.
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 dyd all eate and were suffised. And they toke vp of the broke meate that was lefte .vii. basketes full.
37 They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38 And yet they that ate were .iiii.M. men besyde wemen and chyldren.
38 Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
39 And he sent awaye the people and toke shippe and came into the parties of Magdala.
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.
