| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread." |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And He answered and said to them, "Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"For God said, 'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,' and, 'HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH.' |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"But you say, 'Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God," |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'" |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them, "Hear and understand. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11"It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man." |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Then the disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?" |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14"Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit." |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Peter said to Him, "Explain the parable to us." |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Jesus said, "Are you still lacking in understanding also? |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17"Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18"But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19"For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20"These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man." |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed." |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us." |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way." |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?" |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish." |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan. |
