{Matthew 15:1} Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:2} Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:3} But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:4} For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:5} But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his] mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:6} And 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:7} [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:8} This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:9} But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:10} And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:11} Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:12} Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:13} But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:14} Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:15} Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:16} And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:17} Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:18} But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:19} For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:20} These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:21} Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:22} And, 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:23} But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:24} But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:25} Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:26} But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to dogs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:27} And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:28} Then 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:29} And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:30} And 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: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:31} Insomuch 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:32} Then 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:33} And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:34} And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:35} And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:36} And 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:37} And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:38} And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Matthew 15:39} And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala,
