1235 Jesus walks on water. Traditions MATTHEW 14:23–15:18
23 Eventually, having sent the
crowds away, he went up into
the mountain by himself to
pray. a Though it became late,
he was there alone. 24 By now
the boat was many hundreds
of yards away from land, being
hard put to it by the waves, b because
the wind was against them.
25 But in the fourth watch period
of the night he came to them,
walking over the sea. c 26 When
they caught sight of him walking
on the sea, the disciples were
troubled, saying: “It is an apparition!”
d And they cried out in
their fear. 27 But at once Jesus
spoke to them with the
words: “Take courage, it is I; e
have no fear.” 28 In reply Peter
said to him: “Lord, if it is
you, command me to come to you
over the waters.” 29 He said:
“Come!” Thereupon Peter, getting
down off the boat, f walked
over the waters and went toward
Jesus. 30 But looking at
the windstorm, he got afraid and,
after starting to sink, he cried
out: “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately
stretching out his hand
Jesus caught hold of him and
said to him: “You with little faith,
why did you give way to doubt?” g
32 And after they got up into
the boat, the windstorm abated.
33 Then those in the boat did
obeisance to him, saying: “You
are really God’s Son.” h 34 And
they got across and came to land
in Gen·nesa·ret. i
35 Upon recognizing him the
men of that place sent forth into
all that surrounding country,
and people brought him all those
who were ill. j 36 And they went
entreating him that they might
just touch the fringe of his outer
garment; k and all those who
touched it were made completely
well.

Then there came to Jesus
from Jerusalem l Pharisees
and scribes, saying: 2 “Why is
it your disciples overstep the tradition
of the men of former
times? For example, they do not
wash their hands when about to
eat a meal.” a
3 In reply he said to them:
“Why is it YOU also overstep the
commandment of God because
of YOUR tradition? b 4 For example,
God said, ‘Honor your father
and your mother’; c and, ‘Let
him that reviles father or mother
end up in death.’ d 5 But YOU
say, ‘Whoever says to his father
or mother: “Whatever I have by
which you might get benefit from
me is a gift dedicated to God,”
6 he must not honor his father
at all.’ e And so YOU have made
the word of God invalid because
of YOUR tradition. f 7 YOU hypocrites,
g Isaiah h aptly prophesied
about YOU, when he said,
8 ‘This people honor me with
their lips, yet their heart is far removed
from me. i 9 It is in vain
that they keep worshiping me,
because they teach commands
of men as doctrines.’ ” j 10 With
that he called the crowd near and
said to them: “Listen and get the
sense of it: k 11 Not what enters
into his mouth defiles a man;
butitiswhatproceedsoutofhis
mouth that defiles a man.” l
12 Then the disciples came up
and said to him: “Do you know
that the Pharisees stumbled at
hearing what you said?” m 13 In
reply he said: “Every plant that
my heavenly Father did not plant
will be uprooted. n 14 LET them
be. Blind guides is what they
are. If, then, a blind man guides
a blind man, both will fall
into a pit.” o 15 By way of response
Peter said to him:
“Make the illustration plain to
us.” p 16 At this he said: “Are
YOU also yet without understanding?
q 17 Are YOU not aware
that everything entering into the
mouth passes along into the intestines
and is discharged into
the sewer? 18 However, the
things proceeding out of the
