AICNT MAT Chapter 15

MAT 15 ©

15Then Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem come to Jesus, saying, 2“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash {when they eat bread with their hands}.”[fn]

3But he answered them, “Why do you also break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4For God {said},[fn] ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.’[fn] 5{But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Gift, whatever you might benefit from me,” he need not honor his father}.’[fn] 6Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

7“Hypocrites,[fn] Isaiah prophesied well about you, saying,

8‘{This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me};[fn] 9But they worship me in vain, teaching doctrines, commandments of men.’ ”[fn]

10And calling the crowd to him, he said to them, “Listen and understand: 11it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”

12Then the[fn] disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”

13He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. 14Let them alone; they are blind guides [of the blind].[fn] If a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a pit.”

15But Peter said to him, “Explain this parable to us.”

16And {he}[fn] said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17Do you not [[yet]][fn] see[fn] that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach and is expelled into the latrine? 18But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. 19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adultery, fornications, thefts, false witnesses, blasphemies.[fn] 20These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person.”

21And going out from there, Jesus withdrew to the regions of Tyre and Sidon. 22And behold, a Canaanite woman from those borders came out and cried out [[to him]],[fn] saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord,[fn] Son of David; my daughter is severely demon-possessed.”

23But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and asked him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”

24But he answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25But she came and worshiped[fn] him, saying, “Lord,[fn] help me.”

26And he answered and said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”

27But she said, “Yes, Lord,[fn] for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.”

28Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

29And moving on from there, Jesus came by the Sea of Galilee, and going up on the mountain, he sat down there. 30And many crowds came to him, having with them {the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute},[fn] and many others, and they laid them at {his feet},[fn] and he healed them; 31so that the {crowd}[fn] was amazed, seeing [[the deaf hearing]][fn] the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, [the lame walking],[fn] and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

32And Jesus, calling his disciples to him, said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me for three days now and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33And {the}[fn] disciples said to him, “Where can we get enough bread in the wilderness to satisfy such a large crowd?”

34And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have? And they said, Seven, and a few small fish.” 35And he commanded the {crowd}[fn] to sit down on the ground.

36And he took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks, he broke them and gave them to {the}[fn] disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. 37And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the leftover broken pieces, seven baskets full. 38And those who ate were four thousand men, not counting women and children.

39And after dismissing the crowds, he {got}[fn] into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.
