የፈሪሳውያን ወግ
15፥1-20 ተጓ ምብ – ማር 7፥1-23
1ከዚያም ከኢየሩሳሌም የመጡ ፈሪሳውያንና የኦሪት ሕግ መምህራን ወደ ኢየሱስ ቀርበው፣ 2“ደቀ መዛሙርትህ የአባቶችን ወግ የሚሽሩት ለምንድን ነው? ምግብ ሲበሉኮ እጃቸውን አይታጠቡም” አሉት።
3ኢየሱስም እንዲህ ሲል መለሰላቸው፤ “እናንተስ ለወጋችሁ ስትሉ የእግዚአብሔርን ትእዛዝ ለምን ትሽራላችሁ? 4እግዚአብሔር፣ ‘አባትህንና እናትህን አክብር፤ በአባቱ ወይም በእናቱ ላይ ክፉ ቃል የሚናገር ይገደል’ ብሎ ሲያዝዝ፣ 5እናንተ ግን፣ ማንም ሰው አባቱን ወይም እናቱን፣ ‘ላደርግላችሁ የሚገባውን ማንኛውንም ነገር ለእግዚአብሔር መባ አድርጌ አቅርቤአለሁ’ ቢላቸው፣ 6‘አንድ ሰው ይህን ካደረገ ዘንድ አባቱን ወይም እናቱን አክብሯል’ ትላላችሁ። ስለዚህ ለወጋችሁ ብላችሁ የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል ትሽራላችሁ። 7እናንት ግብዞች፤ ኢሳይያስ ስለ እናንተ እንዲህ ብሎ በትንቢት የተናገረው ትክክል ነው፤
8“ ‘ይህ ሕዝብ በከንፈሩ ያከብረኛል፤
ልቡ ግን ከእኔ የራቀ ነው፤
9በከንቱ ያመልኩኛል፣
ትምህርታቸውም የሰው ሥርዐት ነው።’ ”
10ሕዝቡን ወደ እርሱ ቀረብ እንዲሉ አድርጎ እንዲህ አላቸው፤ “ስሙ፤ አስተውሉም፤ 11ሰውን የሚያረክሰው ከአፉ የሚወጣው እንጂ ወደ አፉ የሚገባው አይደለም።”
12ከዚያም ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ቀርበው፣ “ፈሪሳውያን ያልኸውን ሰምተው እንደ ተቈጡ ዐወቅህ?” አሉት።
13እርሱ ግን እንዲህ አላቸው፤ “የሰማዩ አባቴ ያልተከለው ተክል ሁሉ ይነቀላል። 14ተዉአቸው፣ እነርሱ ዕውሮችን የሚመሩ ዕውር መሪዎች ናቸው፤ ዕውር ዕውርን ቢመራ ሁለቱም ተያይዘው ገደል ይገባሉ።”
15ጴጥሮስም፣ “ምሳሌውን አስረዳን” አለው።
16እርሱም እንዲህ አላቸው፤ “እናንተም እስካሁን አላስተዋላችሁም ማለት ነውን? 17በአፍ የሚገባ ሁሉ ወደ ሆድ ዘልቆ፣ ከዚያም ወደ ውጭ እንደሚወጣ አታውቁምን? 18ከአፍ የሚወጣ ግን ከልብ ይመነጫል፤ ሰውንም የሚያረክሰው ይህ ነው፤ 19ክፉ ሐሳብ፣ ነፍስ መግደል፣ ማመንዘር፣ ዝሙት፣ መስረቅ፣ በሐሰት መመስከርና ስም ማጕደፍ ከልብ ይመነጫሉና። 20ሰውን የሚያረክሱ እነዚህ ናቸው እንጂ እጅን ሳይታጠቡ መብላት ሰውን አያረክስም።”
የከነዓናዊቷ ሴት እምነት
15፥21-28 ተጓ ምብ – ማር 7፥24-30
21ኢየሱስም ከዚያ ወጥቶ ወደ ጢሮስና ወደ ሲዶና አገር ሄደ። 22አንዲት ከነዓናዊት ሴት ከዚያ አካባቢ በመውጣት ወደ ኢየሱስ መጥታ፣ “ጌታ ሆይ፤ የዳዊት ልጅ፤ ራራልኝ፤ ልጄ በርኩስ መንፈስ ተይዛ በጣም ትሠቃያለች” ብላ ጮኸች።
23እርሱ ግን አንድም ቃል አልመለሰላትም፤ በዚህ ጊዜ ደቀ መዛሙርቱ ወደ እርሱ ቀርበው፣ “እየተከተለችን ትጮኻለችና ብታሰናብታትስ?” ብለው ጠየቁት።
24እርሱም፣ “የተላክሁት ከእስራኤል ቤት ሆነው ወደ ጠፉት በጎች ብቻ ነው” አለ።
25ሴትዮዋም እግሩ ላይ ወድቃ፣ “ጌታ ሆይ፤ ርዳኝ” አለች።
26እርሱም መልሶ፣ “የልጆችን እንጀራ ወስዶ ለውሾች መወርወር አይገባም” አላት።
27እርሷም፣ “አዎን ጌታ ሆይ፤ ውሾችም እኮ ከጌታቸው ማዕድ የወዳደቀውን ፍርፋሪ ይበላሉ” አለችው።
28በዚህ ጊዜ ኢየሱስ፣ “አንቺ ሴት እምነትሽ ታላቅ ነው! እንደ ፈለግሽው ይሁንልሽ” አላት። ልጇም ከዚያ ሰዓት ጀምሮ ተፈወሰች።
ኢየሱስ አራት ሺሕ ሰዎች በታምር መገበ
15፥29-31 ተጓ ምብ – ማር 7፥31-37
15፥32-39 ተጓ ምብ – ማር 8፥1-10
15፥32-39 ተጓ ምብ – ማቴ 14፥13-21
29ኢየሱስ ከዚያ ተነሥቶ በገሊላ ባሕር አጠገብ ወዳለው ስፍራ በመሄድ ወደ ተራራ ወጥቶ ተቀመጠ። 30ቍጥሩ ብዙ የሆነ ሕዝብም ዐንካሶችን፣ ዐይነ ስውሮችን፣ ሽባዎችን፣ ዲዳዎችን እንዲሁም ሌሎች ብዙዎችን ሕመምተኞች ይዘው ወደ እርሱ በማምጣት በእግሩ ሥር አስቀመጧቸው፤ እርሱም ፈወሳቸው። 31ሕዝቡም ዲዳው ሲናገር፣ ሽባው ደኅና ሲሆን፣ ዐንካሳው ቀጥ ብሎ ሲሄድ፣ ዐይነ ስውሩም ሲያይ ተመልክተው ተደነቁ፤ የእስራኤልንም አምላክ አመሰገኑ።
32ኢየሱስ ደቀ መዛሙርቱን ጠርቶ፣ “ሕዝቡ ከእኔ ጋር ሦስት ቀን ስለሆናቸውና የሚበሉት ስለሌላቸው ዐዝንላቸዋለሁ፤ በመንገድ ላይ በራብ ዝለው እንዳይወድቁ ጦማቸውን ልሰድዳቸው አልፈቅድም” አለ።
33ደቀ መዛሙርቱም፣ “በዚህ ምንም በሌለበት ምድረ በዳ ይህን ሁሉ ሕዝብ ለማብላት በቂ እንጀራ ከየት እናገኛለን?” አሉት።
34ኢየሱስም፣ “ለመሆኑ ስንት እንጀራ አላችሁ?” ሲል ጠየቃቸው።
እነርሱም፣ “ሰባት እንጀራና ጥቂት ትንንሽ ዓሣ” አሉት።
35እርሱም ሕዝቡን መሬት ላይ እንዲቀመጡ አዘዛቸው፤ 36ሰባቱን እንጀራና ዓሣውን ይዞ ካመሰገነ በኋላ ቈርሶ ለደቀ መዛሙርቱ ሰጣቸው፤ እነርሱም ለሕዝቡ አከፋፈሉ። 37ሁሉም በልተው ጠገቡ፤ ደቀ መዛሙርቱም የተረፈውን ቍርስራሽ ሰባት መሶብ ሙሉ አነሡ። 38የበሉትም ከሴቶችና ከሕፃናት ሌላ አራት ሺሕ ወንዶች ነበሩ። 39ኢየሱስ ሕዝቡን ካሰናበተ በኋላ፣ በጀልባ ወደ መጌዶል ሄደ።
1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10¶ And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21¶ Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 29And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: 31Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32¶ Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 33And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 37And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 38And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. 39And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
