Matthew 15

1 Then there come to Jesus, from Jerusalem, Pharisees and scribes, saying, 2 “Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands, when they eat bread!" 3 And He, answering, said to them, 5 father or mother, That by which you might be profited by me an offering,’} 9 commandments of men.’”} 10 And, having called the multitude near, He said to them, 12 Then, His disciples, coming near, say to Him, “Knowest Thou that the Pharisees, having heard the saying, were made to stumble?" 13 But He, answering, said, 15 And Peter, answering, said to Him, “Explain to us the parable." 16 And He said, 21 And, going forth thence, Jesus withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a Canaanitish woman, having come forth out of those borders, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon!" 23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples, coming near, were beseeching Him, saying, “Send her away; for she is crying after us!" 24 But He, answering, said, 25 But she, coming, was worshiping Him, saying, “Lord, help me!" 26 And He, answering, said, 27 But she said, “Yes, Lord; for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs falling from the master’s table." 28 Then Jesus, answering, said to her, And her daughter was healed from that hour. 29 And, departing thence, Jesus came near to the sea of Galilee; and, going up into the mountain, He was sitting there. 30 And there came to Him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and they cast them at His feet, and He healed them; 31 so that the multitudes wondered, seeing the dumb speaking, maimed whole, and lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. 32 And Jesus, having called His disciples near, said, 33 And His disciples say to Him, “Whence should we, in a wilderness, have so many loaves as to satisfy so great a multitude?" 34 And Jesus saith to them, And they said, “Seven, and a few little fishes." 35 And, having commanded the multitude to recline on the ground, 36 He took the seven loaves and the fishes; giving thanks, He broke, and was giving to the disciples; and the disciples to the multitudes. 37 And they all ate, and were satisfied; and they took up what over of the pieces seven baskets full; 38 and those eating were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And, dismissing the multitudes, He went up into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.
