1 Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked,
2 “Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they eat.”
3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God said: ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’
5 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might have received from me is a gift to God'
6 he need not honor his father or mother with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you:
8 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
10 Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand.
11 not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
12 Then the disciples came to him and said, Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this speech?
13 He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be pulled up by the roots.
14 Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”
15 Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 “Do you still not understand?” Jesus asked.
17 Do you not yet see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
18 But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart; and they make a man unclean.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.
20 "These things make a man unclean. Eating food with unwashed hands does not make a man unclean."
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came to Him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”
23 But Jesus did not answer a word. So His disciples came and urged Him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, "It is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
27 "Yes, Lord," she said, "yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
28 then Jesus answered her, O woman, great is thy faith: as you desire, be it done. and her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29 Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a hillside and sat down.
30 Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.
31 The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”
33 The disciples said to him, "Where can we get enough bread in this uninhabited place to feed such a crowd?"
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.
36 He took the seven loaves and the fish and after giving thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.
37 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
38 The number who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 After he sent the crowds away, he got into a boat and went to the region of Magadan.
