Then come to Jesus Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem, saying,
2 “Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat bread.”
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 He answered them, “Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
But he answered and said to them, Why do ye too transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’
For God commanded, saying, “Honor thy father and thy mother;” and, “He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die.”
5 But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,”
But ye say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever thou mightst receive in aid from me is a gift [[to God]],
6 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
he shall not honor his father or his mother. Thus have ye made void the law of God for the sake of your tradition.
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, saying,
8 ‘These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
“This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 And they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.’”
But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
10 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.
And calling the multitude, he said to them, Hear, and understand.
11 That which enters into the mouth doesn’t defile the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
Then come the disciples, and say to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard that saying?
13 But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.

15 Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”
And Peter answering said to him, Explain to us that dark saying.
16 So Yeshua said, “Do you also still not understand?
And he said, Are ye too still without discernment?
17 Don’t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly and then out of the body?
Do ye not understand, that whatever entereth the mouth goeth into the stomach, and is cast out into the drain?
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
But the things which proceed from the mouth come out of the heart; and these defile a man.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimony, blasphemies.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn’t defile the man.”
These are the things which defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands defileth not a man.
21 Yeshua went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
And Jesus, going from thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
And, lo! a woman of Canaan came out from those borders, and cried out, saying, Have compassion on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is grievously afflicted with a demon.
23 But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”
But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying Send her away, for she is crying out after us.

26 But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
But he answering said, It is not allowable to take the children's bread, and throw it to the little dogs.
27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
And she said, Yea, Lord; for the little dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the table of their masters.
28 Then Yeshua answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, great is thy faith; be it done to thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

And great multitudes came to him, having with them those who were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at his feet, and he healed them;

And Jesus having called his disciples to him, said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest they faint on the road.
33 The disciples said to him, “Where could we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?”

34 Yeshua said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
And Jesus saith to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.
35 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
