Matthew 15
15
CHAPTER 15
1Then the scribes and the Pharisees came to him from Jerusalem, and said,
2Why break thy disciples the traditions of elder men? [or Why thy disciples break the traditions, either the teachings, of elder men?] for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread.
3He answered, and said to them, Why break ye the commandment of God for your tradition[s]?
4For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and he that curseth father or mother, die he by death.
5But ye say, Whoever saith to father or mother, Whatever gift is of me, it shall profit to thee;
6and he hath not worshipped [or not honoured] his father or his mother; and ye have made the commandment of God void for your tradition[s].
7Hypocrites, Isaiah the prophet, prophesied well of you, and said,
8This people honoureth me with lips, but their heart is far from me;
9and they worship me without cause, teaching the doctrines and the commandments of men.
10And when the people were called together to him, he said to them, Hear ye, and understand ye.
11That thing that entereth into the mouth, defouleth not a man; but that thing that cometh out of the mouth, defouleth a man.
12Then his disciples came, and said to him, Thou knowest [or Knowest thou], that, if this word be heard, the Pharisees be offended?
13And he answered, and said, Every planting, that my Father of heaven hath not planted, shall be drawn up by the root.
14Suffer ye them; they be blind, and leaders of blind men. And if a blind man lead a blind man, both fall into the ditch.
15Peter answered, and said to him, Expound to us this parable.
16And he said, Yet ye be without understanding?
17Understand ye not, that all thing that entereth into the mouth, goeth into the womb, and is sent out into the going away?
18But those things that come forth from the mouth, go out from the heart, and those things defoul the man.
19For of the heart go out evil thoughts [or For out of the heart cometh evil thoughts], manslayings, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies.
20These things it be that defoul a man; but to eat with hands not washed, defouleth not a man.
21And Jesus went out from thence, and went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22And lo! a woman of Canaan went out of those coasts, and cried, and said to him, Lord, the son of David, have mercy on me; my daughter is evil travailed of a fiend [or a devil].
23And he answered not to her a word. And his disciples came, and prayed him, and said, Leave thou her, for she crieth after us.
24He answered, and said, I am not sent, but to the sheep of the house of Israel that have perished.
25And she came, and worshipped him, and said, Lord, help me.
26Which answered, and said, It is not good to take the bread of children, and cast [it] to hounds.
27And she said, Yes, Lord; for [the] whelps eat of the crumbs, that fall down from the board of their lords.
28Then Jesus answered, and said to her, A! woman, thy faith is great; be it done to thee, as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29And when Jesus had passed from thence, he came beside the sea of Galilee. And he went up into an hill, and sat there.
30And much people came to him, and had with them dumb men and crooked [men], feeble and blind, and many others; and they casted down them [or cast them down] at his feet. And he healed them,
31so that the people wondered, seeing dumb men speaking, and crooked [men] going, blind men seeing; and they magnified God of Israel.
32And Jesus, when his disciples were called together, said to them, I have ruth of the people, for they have abided now three days with me, and have nothing to eat; and I will not leave them fasting, lest they fail in the way.
33And the disciples say to him, Whereof then so many loaves among us in desert, to fulfill so great a people? [And the disciples say to him, Therefore whereof so many loaves to us in desert, that we fill so great a company of people?]
34And Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes [or a few little fishes].
35And he commanded to the people, to sit to [the] meat on the earth.
36And he took the seven loaves and five fishes, and did thankings, and brake them, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the people.
37And all ate, and were fulfilled [or were filled], and they took that that was left of [the] remnants, seven baskets full.
38And they that ate were four thousand of men, without little children and women.
39And when he had left the people, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

Matthew 15
15
1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Yeshua from Jerusalem, saying, 2“Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’#Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’#Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9 5But 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,” 6he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition. 7You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of 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 they worship me in vain,
teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’” #
Isaiah 29:13
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand. 11That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted. 14Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 So Yeshua said, “Do you also still not understand? 17Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body? 18But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies. 20These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
21Yeshua went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
23 But he answered her not a word.
His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
24 But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Yeshua answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29Yeshua departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there. 30Great 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, 31so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.
32Yeshua summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued 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 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
34Yeshua said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground; 36and 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. 37They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over. 38Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children. 39Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
