^{1 Ref} Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

^{2 Ref} "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

^{3 Ref} He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

^{4 Ref} For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

^{5 Ref} 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,"

^{6 Ref} he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

^{7 Ref} You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

^{8 Ref} 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, And honor me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

^{9 Ref} And in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"

^{10 Ref} He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.

^{11 Ref} That which enters into the mouth doesn't defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

^{12 Ref} Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"

^{13 Ref} But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

^{14 Ref} Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

^{15 Ref} Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

^{16 Ref} So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand?

^{17 Ref} Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

^{18 Ref} But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

^{19 Ref} For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

^{20 Ref} These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."

^{21 Ref} Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

^{22 Ref} 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!"

^{23 Ref} But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."

^{24 Ref} But he answered, "I wasn't sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

^{25 Ref} But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."

^{26 Ref} But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

^{27 Ref} But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

^{28 Ref} 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.

^{29 Ref} Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

^{30 Ref} 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,

^{31 Ref} 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.

^{32 Ref} 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."

^{33 Ref} The disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?"

^{34 Ref} Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

^{35 Ref} He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

^{36 Ref} 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.

^{37 Ref} They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

³⁸ Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

^{39 Ref} Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

^{1 Ref} Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,

^{2 Ref} Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

^{3 Ref} And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

^{4 Ref} For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death.

^{5 Ref} 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 Ref} he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition.

^{7 Ref} Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

^{8 Ref} This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

^{9 Ref} But in vain do they worship me, Teaching `as their' doctrines the precepts of men.

^{10 Ref} And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

^{11 Ref} Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

^{12 Ref} Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?

^{13 Ref} But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up.

^{14 Ref} Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.

^{15 Ref} And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable.

^{16 Ref} And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?

^{17 Ref} Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

^{18 Ref} But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.

^{19 Ref} For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:

^{20 Ref} these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.

^{21 Ref} And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.

^{22 Ref} 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 Ref} But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

^{24 Ref} But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

^{25 Ref} But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

^{26 Ref} And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

^{27 Ref} But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

^{28 Ref} 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 Ref} And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.

^{30 Ref} And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at this feet; and he healed them:

^{31 Ref} insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.

^{32 Ref} 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 to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way.

^{33 Ref} 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 Ref} And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

^{35 Ref} And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;

^{36 Ref} 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 Ref} And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

³⁸ And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children.

^{39 Ref} And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.

^{1 Ref} Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

^{2 Ref} Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

^{3 Ref} But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

^{4 Ref} For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

^{5 Ref} But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

^{6 Ref} And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

^{7 Ref} Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

^{8 Ref} This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

^{9 Ref} But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

^{10 Ref} And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

^{11 Ref} Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

^{12 Ref} Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

^{13 Ref} But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

^{14 Ref} Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

^{15 Ref} Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

^{16 Ref} And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

^{17 Ref} Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

^{18 Ref} But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

^{19 Ref} For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

^{20 Ref} These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

^{21 Ref} Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

^{22 Ref} And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

^{23 Ref} But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

^{24 Ref} But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

^{25 Ref} Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

^{26 Ref} But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

^{27 Ref} And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

^{28 Ref} Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

^{29 Ref} And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

^{30 Ref} 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:

^{31 Ref} 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.

^{32 Ref} Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

^{33 Ref} And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

^{34 Ref} And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

^{35 Ref} And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

^{36 Ref} And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

^{37 Ref} And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

³⁸ And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

^{39 Ref} And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
