	GENEVA Geneva Bible of 1587	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Then came to Iesus the Scribes and Pharises, which were of Hierusalem, saying,	Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,	Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
2	Why do thy disciples transgresse the tradition of the Elders? For they wash not their hands when they eate bread.	“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.”	“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”
3	But he answered & said vnto them, Why doe yee also transgresse the commaundement of God by your tradition?	He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?	Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake 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.	For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’	For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’
5	But ye say, Whosoeuer shal say to father or mother, By the gift that is offered by me, thou maiest haue profite,	But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”	But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’
6	Though hee honour not his father, or his mother, shalbe free: thus haue ye made the commaundement of God of no aucthoritie by your tradition.	he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.	they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7	O hypocrites, Esaias prophecied well of you, saying,	You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:	You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
8	This people draweth neere vnto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with the lips, but their heart is farre off from me.	“‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;	“’These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
9	But in vaine they worship me, teaching for doctrines, mens precepts.	in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”	They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’”
10	Then hee called the multitude vnto him, and said to them, Heare and vnderstand.	And he called the people to him and said to them, “Hear and understand:	Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen 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.	it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”	What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”
12	Then came his disciples, and saide vnto him, Perceiuest thou not, that the Pharises are offended in hearing this saying?	Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”	Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”
13	But hee answered and saide, Euery plant which mine heauenly Father hath not planted, shalbe rooted vp.	He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.	He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.
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.	Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”	Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
15	Then answered Peter, and said to him, Declare vnto vs this parable.	But Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.”	Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”
16	Then said Iesus, Are ye yet without vnderstanding?	And he said, “Are you also still without understanding?	“Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them.
17	Perceiue ye not yet, that whatsoeuer entreth into the mouth, goeth into the bellie, and is cast out into the draught?	Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?	“Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach 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.	But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.	But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.
19	For out of the heart come euil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, slaunders.	For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.	For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
20	These are the things, which defile the man: but to eat with vnwashen hands, defileth not ye man.	These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.”	These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
21	And Iesus went thence, and departed into the coastes of Tyrus and Sidon.	And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.	Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to 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.	And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.”	A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
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.	But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.”	Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24	But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but vnto the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.	He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”	He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
25	Yet she came, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, helpe me.	But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.”	The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26	And he answered, and said, It is not good to take the childrens bread, and to cast it to whelps.	And he answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”	He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss 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.	She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”	“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28	Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest; her daughter was made whole at that houre.	Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.	Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
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.	Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there.	Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down.
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.	And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,	Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and 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.	so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.	The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised 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, & haue nothing to eate: and I wil not let them depart fasting, least they faint in the way.	Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”	Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse 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!	And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?”	His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
34	And Iesus said vnto them, How many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen, & a few litle fishes.	And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”	“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35	Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the ground,	And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground,	He told the crowd 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.	he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.	Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people.
37	And they did all eate, and were sufficed: and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, seuen baskets full.	And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.	They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
38	And they that had eaten, were foure thousand men, beside women, and litle children.	Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.	The number of those who ate was four thousand men, besides women and children.
39	Then Iesus sent away the multitude, and tooke ship, and came into the partes of Magdala.	And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.	After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.
