Matthew 15:25-39 ▼

25 Then came she, and worshipped him, saying: Lorde, helpe me.

26 He aunswered, and sayde: it is not meete to take the chyldrens bread, and to cast it to litle dogges.

27 She aunswered and sayde, trueth Lorde: and yet litle dogges eate of the crummes, which fall fro their maisters table.

28 Then Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto her: O woman, great is thy fayth, be it vnto thee, euen as thou wylt. And her daughter was made whole, euen from that same tyme.

29 And Iesus went from thence, and came nye vnto the sea of Galilee, and went vp into a mountayne, and sate downe there.

30 And great multitudes came vnto him, hauyng with them those that were lame, blynde, dumbe, maymed, & other many, and cast them downe at Iesus feete: And he healed them.

31 In so much that the people wondred, when they sawe the dumbe speake, the maymed to be whole, the lame to walke, and the blynde to see: And they glorified the God of Israel.

32 Then Iesus called his disciples vnto hym, and sayde: I haue compassion on the people, because they continue with me nowe three dayes, and haue nothing to eate: and I wyll not let them depart fastyng, lest they faynt in the way.

33 And his disciples say vnto hym: whence shoulde we get so much bread in the wyldernesse, as to suffise so great a multitude?

34 And Iesus sayeth vnto them: howe many loaues haue ye? And they say, seuen, and a fewe litle fisshes.

35 And he commaunded the people to sit downe on the grounde:

36 And toke the seuen loaues, and the fisshes: and after that he had geuen thankes, he brake them, and gaue to his disciples, and the disciples gaue them to the people.

37 And they dyd all eate, and were suffised: And they toke vp, of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full.

38 And yet they that did eate, were foure thousande men, besyde women and chyldren.

39 And he sent away the people, and toke shippe, and came into the parties of Magdala.
