# Chapter 15
|
|
1. Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,
|
|
2. "Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
|
|
|
|
3. He answered and said to them, *"Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?*
|
|
4. *For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'*
|
|
5. *But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God"--*
|
|
6. *then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.*
|
|
7. *Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:*
|
|
|
|
8. *'These people draw near to Me with their mouth,*
|
|
*And honor Me with their lips,*
|
|
*But their heart is far from Me.*
|
|
|
|
9. *And in vain they worship Me,*
|
|
*Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' "*
|
|
|
|
10. When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, *"Hear and understand:*
|
|
11. *Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."*
|
|
|
|
12. Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?"
|
|
|
|
13. But He answered and said, *"Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.*
|
|
14. *Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch."*
|
|
|
|
15. Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us."
|
|
|
|
16. So Jesus said, *"Are you also still without understanding?*
|
|
17. *Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?*
|
|
18. *But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.*
|
|
19. *For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.*
|
|
20. *These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."*A Gentile Shows Her Faith
|
|
|
|
21. Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
|
|
22. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed."
|
|
|
|
23. But He answered her not a word.
|
|
And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."
|
|
|
|
24. But He answered and said, *"I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."*
|
|
|
|
25. Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"
|
|
|
|
26. But He answered and said, *"It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."*
|
|
|
|
27. And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
|
|
|
|
28. Then Jesus answered and said to her, *"O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire."* And her daughter was healed from that very hour.Jesus Heals Great Multitudes
|
|
|
|
29. Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there.
|
|
30. Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus' feet, and He healed them.
|
|
31. So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.Feeding the Four Thousand
|
|
|
|
32. Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, *"I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."*
|
|
|
|
33. Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?"
|
|
|
|
34. Jesus said to them, *"How many loaves do you have?"*
|
|
And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."
|
|
|
|
35. So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
|
|
36. And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.
|
|
37. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.
|
|
38. Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
|
|
39. And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala.
