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. Ex 20:12 21:17
Lev 20:9 Dt 5:16
27:16 Prov 30:17 |
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.
Isa 29:13
Mark 7:6
|
9 | But in vain they do
worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Isa 29:13
Mark 7:7
|
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. |
