Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangéliim secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 15:1-20
In illo témpore: Accessérunt ad Jesum ab Jerosólymis scribæ et pharisǽi, dicéntes: Quare discípuli tui transgrediúntur traditiónem seniórum? Non enim lavant manus suas, cum panem mandúcant. Ipse autem respóndens, ait illis: Quare et vos transgredímini mandátum Dei propter traditiónem vestram? Nam Deus dixit: Honóra patrem et matrem. Et: Qui male díxerit patri vel matri, morte moriátur. Vos autem dícitis: Quicúmque díxerit patri vel matri: munus quodcúmque est ex me, tibi próderit: et non honorificábit patrem suum aut matrem suam: et írritum fecístis mandátum Dei propter traditiónem vestram. Hypócritæ, bene prophetávit de vobis Isaías, dicens: Pópulus hic lábiis me honórat: cor autem eórum longe est a me. Sine causa autem colunt me, docéntes doctrínas et mandáta hóminum. Et convocátis ad se turbis, dixit eis: Audíte, et intellégite. Non quod intrat in os, coínquinat hóminem: sed quod procédit ex ore, hoc coínquinat hóminem. Tunc accedéntes discípuli ejus, dixérunt ei: Scis, quia pharisǽi, audíto verbo hoc, scandalizáti sunt? At ille respóndens, ait: Omnis plantátio, quam non plantávit Pater meus cœléstis, eradicábitur. Sínite illos: cæci sunt et duces cæcórum. Cæcus autem si cæco ducátum præstet, ambo in fóveam cadunt. Respóndens autem Petrus, dixit ei: Edíssere nobis parábolam istam. At ille dixit: Adhuc et vos sine intelléctu estis? Non intellégitis, quia omne, quod in os intrat, in ventrem vadit, et in secéssum emíttitur ? Quæ autem procédunt de ore, de corde éxeunt, et ea coínquinant hóminem: de corde enim éxeunt cogitatiónes malæ, homicídia, adultéria, fornicatiónes, furta, falsa testimónia, blasphémiæ. Hæc sunt, quæ coínquinant hóminem. Non lotis autem mánibus manducáre, non coínquinat hóminem.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 15:1-20
At that time, the Scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they do not wash their hands when they take food. But He answered and said to them, And why do you transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Let him who curses father or mother be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever shall say to his father or mother, Any support you might have had from me is dedicated to God, does not have to honor his father or his mother.’ So you have made void the commandment of God by your tradition. Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me; and in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrine the precepts of men.’ Then He called the crowd to Him, and said to them, Hear, and understand. What goes into the mouth does not defile a man; but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a man. Then His disciples came up and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees have taken offense at hearing this saying? But He answered and said, Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. Let them alone; they are blind guides of blind men. But if a blind man guide a blind man, both fall into a pit. But Peter spoke to Him, saying, Explain to us this parable. And He said, Are you also even yet without understanding? Do you not realize that whatever enters the mouth passes into the belly and is cast out into the drain? But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and it is they that defile a man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, immorality, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things that defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.
