15:1  Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, 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  And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
15:4  For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.
15:5  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;
15:6  he shall not honour his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.
15:7  Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
15:8  This people honoureth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.
15:9  But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
15:10  And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
15:11  Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.
15:12  Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?
15:13  But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.
15:14  Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.
15:15  And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.
15:16  And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?
15:17  Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
15:18  But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.
15:19  For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
15:20  these are the things which defile the man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.
15:21  And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
15:22  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 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 was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
15:25  But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
15:26  And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
15:27  But she said, Yea, Lord: for even 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 done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
15:29  And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
15:30  And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them:
15:31  insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.
15:32  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 in the way.
15:33  And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place, as to fill so great a multitude?
15:34  And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small 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 he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
15:37  And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, 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 multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.
