Matthew 15
15
1Then the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] came to Yeshua [God is Salvation] and said to him:
2‘Why do your disciples transgress the ordinances of antiquity by not washing their hands before eating?’
3Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them: “Why do you transgress the words of The Most High because of your ordinances?”
4For The Mighty One said: “Honour your father and your mother and he who curses his father and mother will surely be put to death”
5“But you say that ‘whoever says to his father and his mother; in regard to any donation he might give; ‘Whatever I have that would help you has been given to Elohim (The Many Powered) [The Living Word of God],’”
6“So he does not honour his father and his mother, and you despise the words of The Mighty One because of your ordinances”.
7“Woe, hypocrites, behold Yesha’yahu [the salvation of our God] prophesied concerning you and said:
8“Thus Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] said: Because this people has come near with their mouth and has honored Me with their lips, but their heart is far from me”
9“And their reverence towards Me, which is taught, is the commandments of men”.
10Yeshua [God is Salvation] called to the crowds and said to them: “Hear and consider.”
11“That which enters through the mouth does not soil the man, but that which goes out of the mouth soils the man”
12Then his disciples came to him and said to him: ‘Know that the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] were perplexed by this word’.
13Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them: “Every plant which my Father Who is in heaven did not plant will be uprooted and destroyed”.
14“Leave them alone because the blind are leading the blind, and if a blind man leads another who is blind, they will both fall into a pit”.
15Kefa [pebble] answered him: “My Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] explain this riddle to us”
16Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them: “Are you still without knowledge?”
17“Do you not understand that everything that enters through the mouth goes into the belly and all of it goes on to the natural place?”
18“But that which goes out through the mouth is moved by the heart; this is what soils the man.”
19“Because the defiled heart brings forth deceitfulness, murder, adulteries, robberies, the witness of liars and curses”.
20“All these things are what soil the man. Indeed eating without washing the hands does not soil the man”.
21After Yeshua [God is Salvation] had said this, he went into the regions of Tzor [rock] and Tzidon [hunting]
22Then there came to him a certain Kenani [merchant] woman, who came from the lands of the East, crying out to him: ‘My lord, son of David [Beloved], have mercy on me because my daughter is possessed by demons’.
23Yeshua [God is Salvation] did not answer her a word. So his disciples approached him and said to him: ‘Our Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth], why do you abandon this woman who is crying after us?’
24Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them: “I was not sent except to the lost sheep from the house of Y’sra’el [he who holds onto the heal of God]”.
25Then the woman did homage to him and said: ‘My Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] help me’.
26Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to her: “It is not good that a man should take the bread from his children and give it to the dogs”.
27The woman answered: ‘Often the dogs eat the pieces of bread that fall from the table of their master’.
28Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered her: “Woman, great is your faith, let it be done to you as you asked”. So from that time on, her daughter was healed.
29When Yeshua [God is Salvation] moved on from there, he went into the region across Galil [circuit] to a mountain. As he stood there
30he saw many people among whom were many lame, leprous, those who limped, and many others; they fell at his feet and he healed them.
31The people were amazed at how the dumb were speaking and the lame were walking and the blind were seeing; all of them were praising The Most High.
32Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “I have compassion on them because they have remained with me these two days since they came across and they have nothing to eat. I do not want to leave them fasting lest they grow give up in the way”.
33His disciples answered him: ‘Where will we be able to find bread in this wilderness to satisfy the people?’
34Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said to them: “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They answered: ‘Seven and a few fish’.
35So Yeshua [God is Salvation] commanded the people to sit upon the grass.
36He took the seven loaves and the fish and broke them and gave them to his disciples and they gave to the people.
37All of them ate and were satisfied and from that which was remaining they filled seven baskets.
38Those who were eating were by number, four thousand men besides women and children.
39After this Yeshua [God is Salvation] entered a boat and came to the land of Magadan [tower].

Matthew 15
15
1Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying, 2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death. 5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God; 6he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition. 7Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
8This people honoreth me with their lips;
But their heart is far from me.
9But in vain do they worship me,
Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
10And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man. 12Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying? 13But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit. 15And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable. 16And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding? 17Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings: 20these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man.
21And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 22And 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. 23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. 27But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28Then 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.
29And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there. 30And 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: 31insomuch 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.
32And 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. 33And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude? 34And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes. 35And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground; 36and 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. 37And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full. 38And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.
