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].
