MATTHEW
Chapter 15
Matt | Haweis | 15:2 | Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread? | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:3 | And he answering said to them, And why do you transgress the command of God, by your tradition? | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:4 | For God commanded, saying “Honour thy father and thy mother:” and, He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:5 | But ye say, If any man declare to his father or mother, This is a devoted gift, which else might have been employed by me for thy advantage; | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:6 | then he shall not with it honour his father and mother: so have ye vacated the command of God by your tradition. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:8 | This people draweth nigh to me with their mouths, and honoureth me with the lips, but their heart is far distant from me. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:11 | not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but what cometh out of the mouth, that defileth the man. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:12 | Then his disciples approaching, said to him, Knowest thou how offended the Pharisees were at hearing that speech? | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:13 | Then he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:14 | Leave them to themselves: they are blind leaders of the blind. But if the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the pit. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:17 | Do ye not observe, that every thing which entereth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is ejected into the vault? | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:18 | But the things which go forth out of the mouth, come out of the heart, and they are the things which defile a man: | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:19 | for out of the heart proceed wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies: | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:20 | these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:22 | And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:23 | But he replied not a word to her. Then his disciples came and intreated him, saying, Send her away; for she is crying aloud after us. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:24 | But he said in reply, I am not sent, save only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:26 | But he answering said, It is not proper to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:27 | And she said, True, Lord: yet even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master’s table. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:28 | Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:29 | And departing thence, Jesus went to the sea-side of Galilee; and ascending a mountain, he sat down there. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:30 | And great multitudes came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, cripples, and many others, and cast them down at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them all: | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:31 | insomuch that the multitude marvelled when they saw the dumb speaking, the cripples sound, the lame walking, and the blind restored to sight: and they glorified the God of Israel. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:32 | Then Jesus calling his disciples, said, I have compassion on the multitude, for they have now continued with me three days, and have not any thing to eat: and send them away fasting I will not, lest they faint on the road. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:33 | And his disciples said unto him, Whence can we in the wilderness have loaves enough to satisfy the cravings of so great a multitude? | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:34 | And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:36 | And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. | |
Matt | Haweis | 15:37 | And they did all eat, and were filled: and took up a superabundance of fragments seven baskets full. | |
