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