Then came
to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
Jerusalem, saying,
02 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition
of the elders? for they wash not their hands when
they eat bread.
03 But he answered and said unto them, Why do
ye also transgress the commandment of God by your
tradition?
04 For God commanded,
saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He
that curseth father or mother, let him die the
death.
05 But ye say, Whosoever
shall say to his father or his mother, It is a
gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by
me;
06 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.
07 Ye hypocrites, well did
Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
08 This people draweth nigh
unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with
their lips; but their heart is far from me.
09 But in vain they do
worship me, teaching for doctrines the
commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude,
and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth
into the mouth defileth a man; but that which
cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and
said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees
were offended, after they heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said, Every
plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted,
shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be
blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead
the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15 Then answered Peter and said
unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without
understanding?
17 Do not ye yet
understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the
mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into
the draught?
18 But those things which
proceed out of the mouth come forth from the
heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart
proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things
which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen
hands defileth not a man.
21 Then Jesus went thence, and
departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

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.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his
disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her
away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not
sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is
not meet to take the children's bread, and to
cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet
the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their
masters' table.
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.
29 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh
unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a
mountain, and sat down there.
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:
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.
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.
33 And his disciples say unto him,
Whence should we have so much bread in the
wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them, How many
loaves have ye? And they said, Seven,
and a few little fishes.
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on
the ground.
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.
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and
they took up of the broken meat that was left
seven baskets full.
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.
