Matthew 15 : 1 (MKJV)
Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,
Matthew 15 : 2 (MKJV)
Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew 15 : 3 (MKJV)
But He answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Matthew 15 : 4 (MKJV)
For God commanded, saying, "Honor your father and mother"; and, "He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him die by death."
Matthew 15 : 5 (MKJV)
But you say, Whoever says to his father or mother, Whatever you would gain from me, It is a gift to God;
Matthew 15 : 6 (MKJV)
and in no way he honors his father or his mother. And you voided the commandment of God by your tradition.
Matthew 15 : 7 (MKJV)
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Matthew 15 : 8 (MKJV)
"This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.
Matthew 15 : 9 (MKJV)
But in vain they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Matthew 15 : 10 (MKJV)
And He called the crowd and said to them, Hear and understand.
Matthew 15 : 11 (MKJV)
Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
Matthew 15 : 12 (MKJV)
Then His disciples came and said to Him, Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?
Matthew 15 : 13 (MKJV)
But He answered and said, Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.
Matthew 15 : 14 (MKJV)
Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matthew 15 : 15 (MKJV)
Then Peter answered and said to Him, Explain this parable to us.
Matthew 15 : 16 (MKJV)
And Jesus said, Are you also still without understanding?
Matthew 15 : 17 (MKJV)
Do you not yet understand that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the waste-bowl?
Matthew 15 : 18 (MKJV)
But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile the man.
Matthew 15 : 19 (MKJV)
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies;
Matthew 15 : 20 (MKJV)
these are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.
Matthew 15 : 21 (MKJV)
And going out from there, Jesus withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
Matthew 15 : 22 (MKJV)
And behold, a woman of Canaan coming out of these borders cried to Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.
Matthew 15 : 23 (MKJV)
But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and begged Him, saying, Send her away, for she cries after us.
Matthew 15 : 24 (MKJV)
But He answered and said, I am not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 15 : 25 (MKJV)
Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, Lord, help me!
Matthew 15 : 26 (MKJV)
But He answered and said, It is not good to take the children's bread and to throw it to dogs.
Matthew 15 : 27 (MKJV)
And she said, True, O Lord; but even the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' tables.
Matthew 15 : 28 (MKJV)
Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith! So be it to you even as you wish. And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Matthew 15 : 29 (MKJV)
And moving from there Jesus came beside the Sea of Galilee. And He went up into a mountain and sat there.
Matthew 15 : 30 (MKJV)
And great crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others. And they cast them down at Jesus' feet. And He healed them,
Matthew 15 : 31 (MKJV)
so much so that the crowd wondered when they saw the dumb speak, the maimed sound, the lame walk, and the blind see. And they glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew 15 : 32 (MKJV)
Then Jesus called His disciples and said, I have compassion on the crowd because they continue with Me for three days now and have nothing to eat. And I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
Matthew 15 : 33 (MKJV)
And His disciples said to Him, From where should we get so many loaves in the wilderness, so as to fill so great a crowd?
Matthew 15 : 34 (MKJV)

Matthew 15 : 35 (MKJV)
And He commanded the crowd to sit on the ground.
Matthew 15 : 36 (MKJV)
And He took the seven loaves and the fish, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to His disciples. And the disciples gave to the crowd.
Matthew 15 : 37 (MKJV)
And they all ate, and were filled; and they took up seven lunch baskets full of the pieces that was left.
Matthew 15 : 38 (MKJV)
And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Matthew 15 : 39 (MKJV)
And sending the crowd away, He went into the boat and came into the borders of Magdala.
