Matthew 15:24-39

24But He answered and said, “I was sent only to 1the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25But she came and 2began 3to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26Yet He answered and said, “It is not 4good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27And she said, “Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” 28Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, 5your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed 6at once.

297Departing from there, Jesus went along 8the Sea of Galilee, and after going up on the mountain, He was sitting there. 30And 9large crowds came to Him bringing with them those who were limping, had impaired limbs, were blind, or were unable to speak, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and 10He healed them. 31So the crowd was astonished as they saw those who were unable to speak talking, those with impaired limbs 11restored, those who were limping walking around, and those who were blind seeing; and they 12glorified the God of Israel.

3213Now Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “14I feel compassion for the 15people, because they 16have remained with Me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.” 33The disciples said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?” 34And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35And He directed the 17people to 18sit down on the ground; 36and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and after 19giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large 20baskets full. 38And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into 21the boat and came to the region of 22Magadan.
