The Newe Testament (Tyndale, 1526)

looked up to heaven and blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they gathered up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. Those who ate were in number about five thousand men, besides women and children.

¶ And immediately Jesus made his disciples get into a ship, and to go over before him, while he sent the people away. And as soon as he had sent the people away, he went up into a mountain alone to pray. And when night had come, he was there by himself alone. And the ship was in the middle of the sea, and was tossed with waves, for it was a contrary wind. In the fourth watch of the night Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. And when his disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were amazed, saying: "It is some spirit," and they cried out for fear. And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."

Peter answered and said: "Master, if it is you, bid me come to you on the water." And he said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw a mighty wind, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out saying: "Master, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him: "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And as soon as they had come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying: "Of a truth you are the Son of God."

And when they had come over, they went into the land of Gennesaret. And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought to him all who were sick, and besought him that they might touch the border of his garment only. And as many as touched it were made whole.

¶ The 15th Chapter.

Then scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying: "Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread." He answered and said to them: "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God through your traditions? For God commanded, saying: 'Honor your father and mother,' and 'He who speaks evil against his father or mother shall suffer death.' But you say, every man shall say to his father or mother: 'Whatever thing I offer, that same thing benefits you,' and so he shall not honor his father and mother. And thus have you made the commandment of God without effect through your traditions. You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying: 'This people draws near to me with their mouths, and honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far from me; but in vain they worship me, teaching doctrine which is nothing but men's precepts.'"

¶ And he called the people to him and said to them: "Hear and understand. That which goes into the mouth does not defile a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, that defiles the man."
