Matthew 15

3 Christ reproveth the scribes and Pharisees for transgressing God's Commandments through their own traditions: 11 teacheth how that which goeth into the mouth doth not defile a man. 21 He healeth the daughter of the woman of Canaan, 30 and other great multitudes: 32 and with seven loaves and a few little fishes feedeth four thousand men, beside women and children.

 15:1 Then 5119 some Pharisees 5330 and scribes 1122 *came 4334 to Jesus 2424 from Jerusalem 2414 and said 3004,

 15:2 “Why 1223 5101 do Your disciples 3101 break 3862 the tradition 3862 of the elders 4245? For they do not wash 3538 their hands 5495 when 3752 they eat 2068 bread 740.”

 15:3 And He answered 611 and said 3004 to them, “Why 1223 do you yourselves 4771 transgress 3845 the commandment 1785 of God 2316 for the sake 1223 of your tradition 3862?

 15:4 “For God 2316 said 3004, ‘HONOR 5091 YOUR FATHER 3962 AND MOTHER 3384,’ and, ‘HE WHO SPEAKS 2551 EVIL 2551 OF FATHER 3962 OR 2228 MOTHER 3384 IS TO BE PUT 5053 TO DEATH 2288.’

 15:5 “But you say 3004, ‘Whoever 3739 302 says 3004 to [his] father 3962 or 2228 mother 3384, “Whatever 3739 1437 I have 1473 that would help 5623 you has been given 1435 [to God],”

 15:6 he is not to honor 5091 his father 3962 or 2228 his mother 3384.’ And [by this] you invalidated 208 the word 3056 of God 2316 for the sake 1223 of your tradition 3862.

 15:7 “You hypocrites 5273, rightly 2573 did Isaiah 2268 prophesy 4395 of you:

 15:8 ‘THIS 3778 PEOPLE 2992 HONORS 5091 ME WITH THEIR LIPS 5491, BUT THEIR HEART 2588 IS FAR 4206 AWAY 568 FROM ME.

 15:9 ‘BUT IN VAIN 3155 DO THEY WORSHIP 4576 ME, TEACHING 1321 AS DOCTRINES 1319 THE PRECEPTS 1778 OF MEN 444.’”

 15:10 ¶ After Jesus called 4341 the crowd 3793 to Him, He said 3004 to them, “Hear 191 and understand 4920.

 15:11 “[It is] not what 3588 enters 1525 into the mouth 4750 [that] defiles 2840 the man 444, but what 3588 proceeds 1607 out of the mouth 4750, this 3778 defiles 2840 the man 444.”

 15:12 ¶ Then 5119 the disciples 3101 *came 4334 and *said 3004 to Him, “Do You know 3609a that the Pharisees 5330 were offended 4624 when they heard 191 this 3588 statement 3056?”

 15:13 But He answered 611 and said 3004, “Every 3956 plant 5451 which 3739 My heavenly 3770 Father 3962 did not plant 5452 shall be uprooted 1610.

 15:14 “Let 863 them alone 863; they are blind 5185 guides 3595 of the blind 5185. And if 1437 a blind 5185 man 5185 guides 3594 a blind 5185 man 5185, both 297 will fall 4098 into a pit 999.”

 15:15 ¶ Peter 4074 said 3004 to Him, “Explain 5419 the parable 3850b to us.”

 15:16 Jesus said 3004, “Are you still 188 lacking 801 in understanding 801 also 2532?

 15:17 “Do you not understand 3539 that everything 3956 that goes 1531 into the mouth 4750 passes 5562 into the stomach 2836, and is eliminated 1519 856 1544b?

 15:18 “But the things that proceed 1607 out of the mouth 4750 come 1831 from the heart 2588, and those 2548 defile 2840 the man 444.

 15:19 “For out of the heart 2588 come 1831 evil 4190 thoughts 1261, murders 5408, adulteries 3430, fornications 4202, thefts 2829, false 5577a witness 5577a, slanders 988.

 15:20 “These 3778 are the things which defile 2840 the man 444; but to eat 2068 with unwashed 449 hands 5495 does not defile 2840 the man 444.”

 15:21 ¶ Jesus 2424 went 1831 away 1831 from there 1564, and withdrew 402 into the district 3313 of Tyre 5184 and Sidon 4605.

 15:22 And a Canaanite 5478 woman 1135 from that region 3725 came 1831 out and [began] to cry 2896 out, saying 3004, “Have 1653 mercy 1653 on me, Lord 2962, Son 5207 of David 1160b; my daughter 2364 is cruelly 2560 demon-possessed 1139.”

 15:23 But He did not answer 611 her a word 3056. And His disciples 3101 came 4334 and implored 2065 Him, saying 3004, “Send 630 her away 630, because 3754 she keeps shouting 2896 at us.”

 15:24 But He answered 611 and said 3004, “I was sent 649 only 3756 1487 3361 to the lost 622 sheep 4263b of the house 3624 of Israel 2474.”

 15:25 But she came 2064 and [began] to bow 4352 down 4352 before 4352 Him, saying 3004, “Lord 2962, help 997 me!”

 15:26 And He answered 611 and said 3004, “It is not good 2570 to take 2983 the children’s 5043 bread 740 and throw 906 it to the dogs 2952.”

 15:27 But she said 3004, “Yes 3483a, Lord 2962; but even 2532 the dogs 2952 feed 2068 on the crumbs 5589 which fall 4098 from their masters’ 2962 table 5132.”

 15:28 Then 5119 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to her, “O 5599 woman 1135, your faith 4102 is great 3173; it shall be done 1096 for you as you wish 2309.” And her daughter 2364 was healed 2390 at once 1565 5610.

 15:29 ¶ Departing 3327 from there 1564, Jesus 2424 went 2064 along 3844 by the Sea 2281 of Galilee 1056, and having gone 305 up on the mountain 3735, He was sitting 2521 there 1563.

 15:30 And large 4183 crowds 3793 came 4334 to Him, bringing 2192 with them [those who were] lame 5560, crippled 2948, blind 5185, mute 2974, and many 4183 others 2087, and they laid 4496 them down 4496 at His feet 4228; and He healed 2323 them.

 15:31 So 5620 the crowd 3793 marveled 2296 as they saw 991 the mute 2974 speaking 2980, the crippled 2948 restored 5199, and the lame 5560 walking 4043, and the blind 5185 seeing 991; and they glorified 1392 the God 2316 of Israel 2474.

 15:32 ¶ And Jesus 2424 called 4341 His disciples 3101 to Him, and said 3004, “I feel 4697 compassion 4697 for the people 3793, because 3754 they have remained 4357 with Me now 2235 three 5140 days 2250 and have 2192 nothing 3756 5100 to eat 2068; and I do not want 2309 to send 630 them away 630 hungry 3523, for they might faint 1590 on the way 3598.”

 15:33 The disciples 3101 *said 3004 to Him, “Where 4159 would we get so 5118 many 5118 loaves 740 in [this] desolate 2047 place 2047 to satisfy 5526 such 5118 a large 4183 crowd 3793?”

 15:34 And Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to them, “How 4214 many 4214 loaves 740 do you have 2192?” And they said 3004, “Seven 2033, and a few 3641 small 2485 fish 2485.”

 15:35 And He directed 3853 the people 3793 to sit 377 down 377 on the ground 1093;

 15:36 and He took 2983 the seven 2033 loaves 740 and the fish 2486; and giving 2168 thanks 2168, He broke 2806 them and started giving 1325 them to the disciples 3101, and the disciples 3101 [gave them] to the people 3793.

 15:37 And they all 3956 ate 2068 and were satisfied 5526, and they picked 142 up what 3588 was left 4052 over 4052 of the broken 2801 pieces 2801, seven 2033 large 4711 baskets 4711 full 4134.

 15:38 And those 3588 who ate 2068 were four 5070 thousand 5070 men 435, besides 5565 women 1135 and children 3813.

 15:39 ¶ And sending 630 away 630 the crowds 3793, Jesus got 1684 into the boat 4143 and came 2064 to the region 3725 of Magadan 3093.
