| 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 wash not their hands when they eat bread. |
|
| 3 And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
|
|
| 4 For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.
|
|
| 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God;
|
|
| 6 he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.
|
|
| 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
|
|
8 This people honoreth me with their lips;
But their heart is far from me.
|
|
9 But in vain do they worship me,
Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
|
|
| 10 And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
|
|
| 11 Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.
|
|
| 12 Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying? |
|
| 13 But he answered and said, Every planting which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.
|
|
| 14 Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.
|
|
| 15 And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable. |
|
| 16 And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?
|
|
| 17 Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
|
|
| 18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.
|
|
| 19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
|
|
| 20 these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.
|
|
| 21 And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. |
|
| 22 And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon. |
|
| 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. |
|
| 24 But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
|
|
| 25 But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. |
|
| 26 And he answered and said, It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs.
|
|
| 27 But she said, Yes, Lord: for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. |
|
| 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt.
And her daughter was healed from that hour. |
|
| 29 And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. |
|
| 30 And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them: |
|
| 31 insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel. |
|
| 32 And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing more to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way.
|
|
| 33 And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude? |
|
| 34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
|
|
| 35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground; |
|
| 36 and he took the seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. |
|
| 37 And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full. |
|
| 38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children. |
|
| 39 And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan. |
