Matt. 15:1 Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
Matt. 15:2 Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
Matt. 15:3 And He answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Matt. 15:4 For God said, "Honor your father and your mother," and, "He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death."
Matt. 15:5 But you say, Whoever says to his father or his mother, Whatever you would have been profited by me is [now] a gift [to God,]
Matt. 15:6 Shall by no means honor his father or his mother; and you have deprived the word of God of its authority because of your tradition.
Matt. 15:7 Hypocrites! Well has Isaiah prophesied concerning you, saying,
Matt. 15:8 "This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart stays far away from Me;
Matt. 15:9 But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commandments of men."
Matt. 15:10 And He called the crowd to [Him] and said to them, Hear and understand:
Matt. 15:11 [It is] not that which enters into the mouth [that] defiles the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
Matt. 15:12 Then the disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were stumbled when they heard this word?
Matt. 15:13 And He answered and said, Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
Matt. 15:14 Let them be. They are blind guides of the blind; and if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.
Matt. 15:15 And Peter answered and said to Him, Explain this parable to us.
Matt. 15:16 And He said, Are you also still without understanding?
Matt. 15:17 Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled into the drain?
Matt. 15:18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile the man.
Matt. 15:19 For out of the heart come evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies.
Matt. 15:20 These are the things which defile the man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
Matt. 15:21 And Jesus went from there and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
Matt. 15:22 And behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter suffers terribly from demon possession.
Matt. 15:23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, Send her away, for she is crying out after us.
Matt. 15:24 But He answered and said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matt. 15:25 But she came and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me!
Matt. 15:26 But He answered and said, It is not good to take the children's bread and throw [it] to the little dogs.
Matt. 15:27 And she said, Yes, Lord, for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Matt. 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you as you wish. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Matt. 15:29 And Jesus departed from there and came beside the Sea of Galilee; and He went up to the mountain and sat there.
Matt. 15:30 And great crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the dumb, and many other [sick ones;] and they laid them at His feet, and He healed them,
Matt. 15:31 So that the crowd marveled, because they saw the dumb speaking, the crippled healthy and the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
Matt. 15:32 And Jesus called His disciples to [Him] and said, I am moved with compassion for the crowd, because for three days now they have remained with Me and they do not have anything to eat. And I am not willing to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.
Matt. 15:33 And the disciples said to Him, Where [can] we [get] so many loaves in [this] desolate place to satisfy so great a crowd?
Matt. 15:34 And Jesus said to them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Seven, and a few small fish.
Matt. 15:35 And after He commanded the crowd to recline on the ground,
Matt. 15:36 He took the seven loaves and the fish, and giving thanks, He broke [them] and gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.

Matt. 15:38 And those who ate were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
Matt. 15:39 And after He sent the crowds away, He stepped into the boat and came to the borders of Magadan.
