Matthew 15:22-39 ▼

22 And behold, a Canaanitish woman having come out from those coasts, cried unto Him saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is terribly demonized.

23 And He responded to her not a word; and His disciples, having come to Him, asked Him, saying, Send her away; because she cries after us.

24 And He responding said, I am not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25 And having come she continued to worship Him, saying, Lord, assist me.

26 He responding said, It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the little dogs.

27 And she said, Yea, Lord: for the little dogs eat of the crumbs falling from their master's table.

28 Then Jesus responding said to her, O woman, great is thy faith; let it be done unto thee as thou dost wish. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

29 And Jesus having departed thence, came to the Sea of Galilee; and having gone up into the mountain, He was sitting there.

30 And many multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the maimed, and many others, and laid them down at the feet of Jesus; and He healed them:

31 so that the multitudes were astonished, seeing the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking about, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 And Jesus calling His disciples to Him, said, I sympathize with the multitude, because already three days abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat; I do not wish to send them away fasting, lest they may faint on the road.

33 And His disciples say to Him, Whence is there to us so much bread in the wilderness, as to feed so great a multitude?

34 And Jesus says to them; How much bread have ye? And they said, Seven loaves and a few fishes.

35 He having commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

36 He took the seven loaves and the fishes; having given thanks, He broke them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37 And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up the residue of fragments, seven baskets full.

38 And those eating were about tour thousand men, besides women and children.

39 And having sent away the multitudes, He went into a ship and came into the coasts of Magdala.
