Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the
tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered
and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of god by your
tradition?
4 For God
commanded, saying, Honour they father and mother:
and, He that curseth father or mother,
let him die to death.
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;
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.
7 Ye hypocrities,
well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying.
8 This people draweth
nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me
their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 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 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 enterth
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, adultersies, 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 Isreal.
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 other, 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 gloried the God of Isreal.
32 Then Jesus
called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitudes,
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 brakes
them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
37 And they did
all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left
seven basket 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.
