Matthew 15
Then
came
to
Jesus
a
scribes
and
Pharisees,
which
were
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
2 Why
do
thy
disciples
transgress
the
a
tradition
of
the
elders?
for
they
wash
not
their
hands
when
they
eat
bread.
3 But
he
answered
and
said
unto
them,
Why
do
ye
also
transgress
the
commandment
of
God
by
your
a
tradition?
4 For
God
commanded,
saying,
a
Honour
thy
father
and
mother:
and,
He
that
curseth
father
or
mother,
b
let
him
die
the
death.
5 But
ye
say,
Whosoever
shall
say
to
his
father
or
his
mother,
It
is
a
a
gift,
by
whatsoever
thou
mightest
be
profited
by
me;
6 And
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.
7 Ye
hypocrites,
well
did
Esaias
prophesy
of
you,
saying,
8 This
people
draweth
nigh
unto
me
with
their
a
mouth,
and
b
honoureth
me
with
their
lips;
but
their
c
heart
is
far
from
me.
9 But
in
vain
they
do
a
worship
me,
teaching
for
b
doctrines
the
c
commandments
of
men.
10 And
he
called
the
multitude,
and
said
unto
them,
Hear,
and
understand:
11 Not
that
which
goeth
into
the
mouth
a
defileth
a
man;
but
that
which
cometh
out
of
the
b
mouth,
this
defileth
a
man.
12 Then
came
his
disciples,
and
said
unto
him,
Knowest
thou
that
the
Pharisees
were
offended,
after
they
heard
this
saying?
13 But
he
answered
and
said,
Every
a
plant,
which
my
heavenly
Father
hath
not
planted,
shall
be
rooted
up.
14 Let
them
alone:
they
be
a
blind
b
leaders
of
the
blind.
And
if
the
blind
lead
the
blind,
both
shall
fall
into
the
ditch.
15 Then
answered
Peter
and
said
unto
him,
Declare
unto
us
this
parable.
16 And
Jesus
said,
Are
ye
also
yet
without
understanding?
17 Do
not
ye
yet
understand,
that
whatsoever
entereth
in
at
the
mouth
goeth
into
the
belly,
and
is
cast
out
into
the
draught?
18 But
those
things
which
proceed
out
of
the
a
mouth
come
forth
from
the
heart;
and
they
defile
the
man.
19 For
out
of
the
a
heart
proceed
evil
thoughts,
b
murders,
c
adulteries,
d
fornications,
thefts,
e
false
witness,
f
blasphemies:
20 These
are
the
things
which
a
defile
a
man:
but
to
eat
with
unwashen
hands
defileth
not
a
man.
21 Then
Jesus
went
thence,
and
departed
into
the
a
coasts
of
Tyre
and
Sidon.
22 And,
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.
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
am
not
a
sent
but
unto
the
lost
sheep
of
the
house
of
b
Israel.
25 Then
came
she
and
worshipped
him,
saying,
Lord,
help
me.
26 But
he
answered
and
said,
It
is
not
meet
to
take
the
children's
bread,
and
to
cast
it
to
a
dogs.
27 And
she
said,
Truth,
Lord:
yet
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
a
faith:
be
it
unto
thee
even
as
thou
wilt.
And
her
daughter
was
made
whole
from
that
very
hour.
29 And
Jesus
departed
from
thence,
and
came
nigh
unto
the
sea
of
Galilee;
and
went
up
into
a
mountain,
and
sat
down
there.
30 And
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:
31 Insomuch
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.
33 And
his
disciples
say
unto
him,
Whence
should
we
have
so
much
bread
in
the
wilderness,
as
to
fill
so
great
a
multitude?
34 And
Jesus
saith
unto
them,
How
many
loaves
have
ye?
And
they
said,
Seven,
and
a
few
little
fishes.
35 And
he
commanded
the
multitude
to
sit
down
on
the
ground.
36 And
he
took
the
seven
a
loaves
and
the
fishes,
and
gave
thanks,
and
brake
them,
and
gave
to
his
disciples,
and
the
disciples
to
the
multitude.
37 And
they
did
all
eat,
and
were
filled:
and
they
a
took
up
of
the
b
broken
meat
that
was
left
seven
baskets
full.
38 And
they
that
did
eat
were
four
thousand
men,
beside
women
and
children.
39 And
he
sent
away
the
multitude,
and
took
ship,
and
came
into
the
coasts
of
Magdala.
