Matthew 15 (WEBP)

[1] Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
[2] “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
[3] He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
[4] For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
[5] But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
[6] he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
[7] You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
[8] ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
[9] And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
[10] He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
[11] That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
[12] Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
[13] But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.
[14] Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
[15] Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
[16] So Jesus said, “Do you also still not understand?
[17] Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
[18] But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
[19] For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
[20] These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
[21] Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
[22] Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
[23] But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
[24] But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
[25] But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
[26] But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
[27] But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
[28] Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
[29] Jesus departed from there and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up on the mountain and sat there.
[30] Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,
[31] so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, the injured healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing—and they glorified the God of Israel.
[32] Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way.”
[33] The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”
[34] Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
[35] He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
[36] and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
[37] They all ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
[38] Those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.
[39] Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

Matthew 15 (KJVS)

[1] 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 () thy father and mother: and, He that curseth () father or mother, let him die () the 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 hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy () of you, saying, ()
[8] This people draweth nigh () unto me with their mouth, and honoureth () me with 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 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.
