web@Matthew:15:1 @ Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

web@Matthew:15:2 @ "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

web@Matthew:15:3 @ He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

web@Matthew:15:4 @ For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' {Exodus strkjv@20:12; Deuteronomy strkjv@5:16} and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.' {Exodus strkjv@21:17; Leviticus strkjv@20:9}

web@Matthew:15:5 @ But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"

web@Matthew:15:6 @ he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

web@Matthew:15:7 @ You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

web@Matthew:15:8 @ 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

web@Matthew:15:9 @ And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'" {Isaiah strkjv@29:13}

web@Matthew:15:10 @ He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.

web@Matthew:15:11 @ That which enters into the mouth doesn't defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

web@Matthew:15:12 @ Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"

web@Matthew:15:13 @ But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

web@Matthew:15:14 @ Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

web@Matthew:15:15 @ Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

web@Matthew:15:16 @ So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand?

web@Matthew:15:17 @ Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

web@Matthew:15:18 @ But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

web@Matthew:15:19 @ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

web@Matthew:15:20 @ These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."

web@Matthew:15:21 @ Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

web@Matthew:15:22 @ Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely demonized!"

web@Matthew:15:23 @ But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

web@Matthew:15:24 @ But he answered, "I wasn't sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

web@Matthew:15:25 @ But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."

web@Matthew:15:26 @ But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

web@Matthew:15:27 @ But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

web@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

web@Matthew:15:29 @ Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

web@Matthew:15:30 @ Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

web@Matthew:15:31 @ so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing--and they glorified the God of Israel.

web@Matthew:15:32 @ Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."

web@Matthew:15:33 @ The disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?"

web@Matthew:15:34 @ Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

web@Matthew:15:35 @ He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

web@Matthew:15:36 @ and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

web@Matthew:15:37 @ They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

web@Matthew:15:38 @ Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

web@Matthew:15:39 @ Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
