Then came
to Jesus
scribes
and
Pharisees
, which were of
Jerusalem
, saying
,
Why do thy
disciples
transgress
the tradition
of the elders
? for
they wash
not
their
hands
when
they eat
bread
.
But he answered
and said
unto them
, Why
do ye
also
transgress
the commandment
of God
by
your
tradition
?
For God
commanded
, saying
, Honour
thy
father
and
mother
: and
, He that curseth
father
or
mother
, let him die
the death
.
But ye
say
, Whosoever
shall say
to his father
or
his mother
, It is a gift
, by
whatsoever
thou mightest be profited
by me
;
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
.
Ye hypocrites, well
did
Esaias
prophesy
of
you
, saying
,
This people
draweth nigh
unto me
with their
mouth
, and
honoureth
me
with their lips
; but
their
heart
is
far
from
me
.
But in vain
they do worship
me
, teaching
for doctrines
the commandments
of men
.
And he called
the multitude
, and said
unto them
, Hear
, and
understand
:
Not that which goeth
into
the mouth
defileth
a man
; but
that which cometh
out of
the mouth
, this
defileth
a man
.
Then came
his
disciples
, and said
unto him
, Knowest thou
that
the Pharisees
were offended
, after they heard
this saying
?
But he answered
and said
, Every
plant
, which
my
heavenly
Father
hath
not
planted
, shall be rooted up
.
Let them
alone
: they be
blind
leaders
of the blind
. And
if
the blind
lead
the blind
, both
shall fall
into
the ditch
.
Then answered
Peter
and said
unto him
, Declare
unto us
this
parable
.
And Jesus
said
, Are
ye
also
yet
without understanding
?
Do not
ye
yet
understand
, that
whatsoever
entereth in
at
the mouth
goeth
into
the belly
, and
is cast out
into
the draught
?
But those things which
proceed
out of
the mouth
come forth
from
the heart
; and they
defile
the man
.
For out of
the heart
proceed
evil
thoughts
, murders
, adulteries
, fornications
, thefts
, false witness
, blasphemies
:
These are
the things which
defile
a man
: but
to eat
with unwashen
hands
defileth
not
a man
.
Then Jesus
went
thence
, and departed
into
the coasts
of Tyre
and
Sidon
.
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
.
But he answered
her
not
a word
. And
his
disciples
came
and besought
him
, saying
, Send
her
away
; for
she crieth
after
us
.
But he answered
and said
, I am
not
sent
but
unto
the lost
sheep
of the house
of Israel
.
Then came she
and worshipped
him
, saying
, Lord
, help
me
.
But he answered
and said
, It is
not
meet
to take
the children's
bread
, and
to cast
it to dogs
.
And she said
, Truth
, Lord
: yet
the dogs
eat
of
the crumbs
which
fall
from
their
masters
' table
.
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
.
And Jesus
departed
from thence
, and came
nigh unto
the sea
of Galilee
; and
went up
into
a mountain
, and sat down
there
.
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
:
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
.
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
.
And his
disciples
say
unto him
, Whence
should we
have so much
bread
in
the wilderness
, as
to fill
so great
a multitude
?
And Jesus
saith
unto them
, How many
loaves
have ye
? And
they said
, Seven
, and
a few
little fishes
.
And he commanded
the multitude
to sit down
on
the ground
.
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
.
And they did
all
eat
, and
were filled
: and
they took up
of the broken
meat that was left
seven
baskets
full
.
And they that did eat
were
four thousand
men
, beside
women
and
children
.
And he sent away
the multitude
, and took
ship
, and
came
into
the coasts
of Magdala
.
