Matthew 15
15:1 Then came to scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not
their hands when they eat bread. 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of
Elohim by your tradition? 15:4 For Elohim commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth
father or mother, let him die the death. 15:5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by
whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the
commandment of of none effect by your tradition. 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their
lips; but their heart is far from me. 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of
the mouth, this defileth a man. 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were
offended, after they heard this saying? 15:13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted,
shall be rooted up. 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the
blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15:15 Then answered Kepha and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 15:16 And said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the
belly, and is cast out into the draught? 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and
they defile the man. 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications,
thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth
not a man. 15:21 Then went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O my master, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed
with a devil. 15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying,
Send her away; for she crieth after us. 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Israel. 15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, My master, help me. 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to
cast it to dogs. 15:27 And she said, True, my master: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their
masters' table. 15:28 Then answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto
thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 15:29 And departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and
went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 15:30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind,
dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at the feet of ; and he healed them: 15:31 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 Elohim of
Israel. 15:32 Then 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. 15:33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the
wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 15:34 And saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and
a few little fishes. 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and
gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 15:37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that
was left seven baskets full. 15:38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. 15:39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of
Magdala,
