Matthew 15

1Then there comeG4334 to JesusG2424 from JerusalemG2414 PhariseesG5330 and scribesG1122, sayingG3004, 2WhyG5101 do thy disciplesG3101 transgress the traditionG3862 of the eldersG4245? for they washG3538 not their handsG5495 whenG3752 they eatG2068 breadG740. 3And he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, WhyG5101 do ye alsoG2532 transgress the commandmentG1785 of GodG2316 because of your traditionG3862? 4For GodG2316 saidG3004, HonorG5091 thy fatherG3962 and thy motherG3384: and, He that speaketh evilG2551 of fatherG3962 or motherG3384, let him die the deathG2288. 5But ye sayG3004, Whosoever shall sayG3004 to his fatherG3962 or his motherG3384, That wherewith thou mightest have been profitedG5623 by me is given to God; 6he shall not honorG5091 his fatherG3962. And ye have made void the wordG3056 of GodG2316 because of your traditionG3862. 7Ye hypocritesG5273, wellG2573 did IsaiahG2268 prophesyG4395 of you, sayingG3004,

10And he called to him the multitudeG3793, and saidG3004 unto them, HearG191, and understandG4920: 11Not that which entereth into the mouthG4750 defileth the manG444; but that which proceedeth out of the mouthG4750, this defileth the manG444. 12ThenG5119 cameG4334 the disciplesG3101, and saidG3004 unto him, Knowest thou that the PhariseesG5330 were offendedG4624, when they heardG191 this sayingG3004? 13But he answeredG611 and saidG3004, Every plant which my heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 plantedG5452 not, shall be rooted up. 14Let them aloneG863: they areG1510 blindG5185 guidesG3595. And if the blindG5185 guide the blindG5185, both shall fallG4098 into a pitG999. 15And PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Declare unto us the parableG3850. 16And he saidG3004, AreG1510 ye alsoG2532 evenG2532 yet without understandingG801? 17Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouthG4750 passeth into the bellyG2836, and is castG1544 out into the draught? 18But the things which proceed out of the mouthG4750 comeG1831 forthG1831 out of the heartG2588; and they defileG2840 the manG444. 19For out of the heartG2588 comeG1831 forthG1831 evilG4190 thoughtsG1261, murdersG5408, adulteriesG3430, fornications, theftsG2829, false witness, railings: 20these areG1510 the thingsG3778 which defileG2840 the manG444; but to eatG2068 with unwashen handsG5495 defileth not the manG444.

21And JesusG2424 wentG1831 out thence, and withdrew into the partsG3313 of TyreG5184 and SidonG4605. 22And beholdG2400, a Canaanitish womanG1135 cameG1831 out from those borders, and criedG2896, sayingG3004, Have mercyG1653 on me, O LordG2962, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138; my daughterG2364 is grievously vexed with a demon. 23But he answeredG611 her not a wordG3056. And his disciplesG3101 cameG4334 and besought him, sayingG3004, SendG630 her awayG630; for she crieth after us. 24But he answeredG611 and saidG3004, I was not sentG649 but unto the lostG622 sheepG4263 of the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474. 25But she cameG2064 and worshipped him, sayingG3004, LordG2962, helpG997 me. 26And he answeredG611 and saidG3004, It isG1510 not meet to takeG2983 the children’sG5043 breadG740 and castG906 it to the dogsG2952. 27But she saidG3004, Yea, LordG2962: for evenG2532 the dogsG2952 eatG2068 of the crumbsG5589 which fallG4098 from their masters’G2962 tableG5132. 28Then JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto her, O womanG1135, greatG3173 is thy faithG4102: be it done unto thee evenG2532 as thou wilt. And her daughterG2364 was healedG2390 from that hourG5610.

29And JesusG2424 departedG3327 thence, and cameG2064 nigh unto the seaG2281 of GalileeG1056; and he went up into the mountainG3735, and satG2521 there. 30And there cameG4334 unto him greatG4183 multitudesG3793, having with them the lameG5560, blindG5185, dumb, maimed, and manyG4183 othersG2087, and they castG4496 them down at his feetG4228; and he healedG2323 them: 31insomuch that the multitudeG3793 wonderedG2296, when they sawG991 the dumb speakingG2980, the maimed whole, and the lameG5560 walkingG4043, and the blindG5185 seeingG991: and they glorifiedG1392 the GodG2316 of IsraelG2474.

32And JesusG2424 called unto him his disciplesG3101, and saidG3004, I have compassionG4697 on the multitudeG3793, because they continue with me nowG1161 threeG5140 daysG2250 and have nothing to eatG2068: and I would not sendG630 them awayG630 fasting, lest haply they faintG1590 on the wayG3598. 33And the disciplesG3101 sayG3004 unto him, Whence should we have so manyG5118 loavesG740 in a desert placeG2047 as to fill so greatG5118 a multitudeG3793? 34And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, HowG4214 manyG4214 loavesG740 have ye? And they saidG3004, SevenG2033, and a fewG3641 smallG3641 fishes. 35And he commandedG3853 the multitudeG3793 to sit down on the groundG1093; 36and he tookG2983 the sevenG2033 loavesG740 and the fishes; and he gaveG1325 thanksG2168 and brake, and gaveG1325 to the disciplesG3101, and the disciplesG3101 to the multitudesG3793. 37And they all ateG2068, and were filledG5526: and they tookG142 up that which remained over of the broken pieces, sevenG2033 basketsG4711 fullG4134. 38And they that did eatG2068 wereG1510 fourG5070 thousandG5070 menG435, besides womenG1135 and childrenG3813. 39And he sentG630 awayG630 the multitudesG3793, and entered into the boatG4143, and cameG2064 into the borders of Magadan.
