Chapter 15

1


 

  Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,  

 

 

-

2


 

  Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.  

 

 

-

3


 

  And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?  

 

 

-

4


 

  For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.  

 

 

-

5


 

  But ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given [to God];  

 

 

-

6


 

  he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,  

 

 

-

8


 

  This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.  

 

 

-

9


 

  But in vain do they worship me, Teaching [as their] doctrines the precepts of men.  

 

 

-

10


 

  And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:  

 

 

-

11


 

  Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?  

 

 

-

13


 

  But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.  

 

 

-

15


 

  And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.  

 

 

-

16


 

  And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?  

 

 

-

17


 

  Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?  

 

 

-

18


 

  But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.  

 

 

-

19


 

  For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:  

 

 

-

20


 

  these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.  

 

 

-

21


 

  And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.  

 

 

-

22


 

  And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.  

 

 

-

23


 

  But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.  

 

 

-

24


 

  But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  

 

 

-

25


 

  But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.  

 

 

-

26


 

  And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.  

 

 

-

27


 

  But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.  

 

 

-

28


 

  Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.  

 

 

-

29


 

  And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.  

 

 

-

30


 

  And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at this feet; and he healed them:  

 

 

-

31


 

  insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.  

 

 

-

32


 

  And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way.  

 

 

-

33


 

  And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?  

 

 

-

34


 

  And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.  

 

 

-

35


 

  And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;  

 

 

-

36


 

  and he took the seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.  

 

 

-

37


 

  And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.  

 

 

-

38


 

  And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.  

 

 

-

39


 

  And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.
