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 came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6and 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. 7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips;
But their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me,
Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Tyre and Sidon
21Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22And, 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. 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 am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet 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 unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
By the Sea of Galilee
29And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30And 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: 31insomuch 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.
Feeding Four Thousand
32Then 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. 33And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 34And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36And 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. 37And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 38And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. 39And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
