15:1 Then came to Jesus 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 God by your tradition?
15:4 For God 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 God of none effect
by your tradition.
15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias 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 Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us
this parable.
15:16 And Jesus 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 Jesus 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 Lord,
[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, Lord, help me.
15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
children's bread, and cast [it] to dogs.
15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters' table.
15:28 Then Jesus 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 Jesus 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 Jesus' feet; 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 God of Israel.
15:32 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.
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 Jesus 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.
