WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Then come unto Jesus do they 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 'Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may 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 And he answering said to them, 'Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of 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 did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of 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, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; —
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 may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because 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.
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
7 'Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
7 Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, diciendo:
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far 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 and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings — commands 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 near the multitude, he said to them, 'Hear 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 is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this 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 his disciples having come near, said to him, 'Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'
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 And he answering said, 'Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant 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, guides they are — blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.'
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, 'Explain to us this simile.'
15 Y respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Decláranos esta parábola.
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 And Jesus said, 'Are ye 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 ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth?
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 coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these 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 forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:
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 defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the 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 having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts 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 lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, 'Deal kindly with me, Sir — Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'
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 And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying — 'Let her away, because 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 except to the lost sheep 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 And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, 'Sir, help 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 answering said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little 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 And she said, 'Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' 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 answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great [is] thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed 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 Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting 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 lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, 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 did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; 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 having called near his disciples, said, 'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, 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 his disciples say to him, 'Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, 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 saith to them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and 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 multitudes 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 having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave 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 eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven 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 those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and 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 And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders 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).

  1. Commentary 15:21 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXVII)

    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.
