Matthew 15

1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Compare verse
2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Compare verse
3 But he answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Compare verse
4 For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death.
Compare verse
5 But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatever you might be profited by me;
Compare verse
6 And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have you made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Compare verse
7 You hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Compare verse
8 This people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Compare verse
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Compare verse
10 And he called the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand:
Compare verse
11 Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
Compare verse
12 Then came his disciples, and said to him, Know you that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
Compare verse
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.
Compare verse
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Compare verse
15 Then answered Peter and said to him, Declare to us this parable.
Compare verse
16 And Jesus said, Are you also yet without understanding?
Compare verse
17 Do not you yet understand, that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Compare verse
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Compare verse
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Compare verse
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man.
Compare verse
21 Then Jesus went there, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
Compare verse
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried to him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, you son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Compare verse
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and sought him, saying, Send her away; for she cries after us.
Compare verse
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Compare verse
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
Compare verse
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
Compare verse
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Compare verse
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith: be it to you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Compare verse
29 And Jesus departed from there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
Compare verse
30 And great multitudes came to 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:
Compare verse
31 So 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.
Compare verse
32 Then Jesus called his disciples to 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.
Compare verse
33 And his disciples say to him, From where should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
Compare verse
34 And Jesus said to them, How many loaves have you? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
Compare verse
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
Compare verse
36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Compare verse
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
Compare verse
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
Compare verse
39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
