1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,studyinterlinear
2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.studyinterlinear
3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?studyinterlinear
4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.studyinterlinear
5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;studyinterlinear
6And 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.studyinterlinear
7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,studyinterlinear
8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.studyinterlinear
9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.studyinterlinear
10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:studyinterlinear
11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.studyinterlinear
12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?studyinterlinear
13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.studyinterlinear
14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.studyinterlinear
15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.studyinterlinear
16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?studyinterlinear
17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?studyinterlinear
18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.studyinterlinear
19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:studyinterlinear
20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.studyinterlinear
21Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.studyinterlinear
22And, 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.studyinterlinear
23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.studyinterlinear
24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.studyinterlinear
25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.studyinterlinear
26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.studyinterlinear
27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.studyinterlinear
28Then 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.studyinterlinear
29And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.studyinterlinear
30And 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:studyinterlinear
31Insomuch 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.studyinterlinear
32Then 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.studyinterlinear
33And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?studyinterlinear
34And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.studyinterlinear
35And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.studyinterlinear
36And 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.studyinterlinear
37And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.studyinterlinear
38And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.studyinterlinear
39And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.studyinterlinear
