  Matthew   chapter 15

   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.
