* Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees , which were of Jerusalem , saying , * Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders ? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread . * But he answered and said unto them , kjc @Matthew:15:4 " /> kjc @Matthew:15:5 " /> kjc @Matthew:15:6 " /> kjc @Matthew:15:7 " /> kjc @Matthew:15:8 " /> kjc @Matthew:15:9 " /> * And he called the multitude , and said unto them , kjc @Matthew:15:11 " /> * Then came his disciples , and said unto him , Do you know that the Pharisees were offended , after they heard this saying ? * But he answered and said , kjc @Matthew:15:14 " /> * Then answered Peter and said unto him , Declare unto us this parable . * And Jesus said , kjc @Matthew:15:17 " /> kjc @Matthew:15:18 " /> kjc @Matthew:15:19 " /> kjc @Matthew:15:20 " /> * Then Jesus went from there , and departed into the borders of Tyre and Sidon . * And , behold , a woman of Canaan came out of the same borders , and cried unto him , saying , Have mercy on me , O Lord , you son of David ; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil . * But he answered her not a word . And his disciples came and asked him , saying , Send her away ; for she cries after us . * But he answered and said , * Then came she and worshipped him , saying , Lord , help me . * But he answered and said , * 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 your faith : be it unto you just as you will . And her daughter was made whole from that very hour . * And Jesus departed from there , and came close 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 , * And his disciples say unto him , From where should we have so much bread in the wilderness , as to fill so great a multitude ? * And Jesus says unto them , 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 broke 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 food 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 borders of Magdala .
