1 Then came (Mark 7:1) to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, KJRV — Matthew 15:1
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition (Mark 7:5; Galatians 1:14) of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. KJRV — Matthew 15:2
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? KJRV — Matthew 15:3
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother:Exodus 20:12 and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.Exodus 21:17 Exod 20:12Exodus 20:12 , Exod 21:17Exodus 21:17 , Lev 20:9Leviticus 20:9 , Dt 5:16Deuteronomy 5:16 , 27:16Deuteronomy 27:16, Prov 30:17Proverbs 30:17 KJRV — Matthew 15:4
5 But (Mark 7:11) ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; KJRV — Matthew 15:5
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. KJRV — Matthew 15:6
7 Ye hypocrites, (Mark 7:6) well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, KJRV — Matthew 15:7
8 This (Isaiah 29:13; Mark 7:6) people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.Isaiah 29:13 KJRV — Matthew 15:8
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.Isaiah 29:13 Isa 29:13Isaiah 29:13, Mark 7:7Mark 7:7 KJRV — Matthew 15:9
10 And he (Mark 7:14) called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: KJRV — Matthew 15:10
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. KJRV — Matthew 15:11
12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? KJRV — Matthew 15:12
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted (John 15:2; 1 Corinthians 3:11) up. KJRV — Matthew 15:13
14 Let them alone: (Hosea 4:17) they be blind leaders (Isaiah 9:16; Malachi 2:8; Matthew 23:16; Luke 6:39) of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. KJRV — Matthew 15:14
15 Then answered (Mark 7:17) Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. KJRV — Matthew 15:15
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? (Matthew 16:9; Mark 7:18) KJRV — Matthew 15:16
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? KJRV — Matthew 15:17
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth (James 3:6) come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. KJRV — Matthew 15:18
19 For out of the heart (Genesis 6:5; Genesis 8:21; Proverbs 6:14; Jeremiah 17:9; Matthew 5:28; Mark 7:21) proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: KJRV — Matthew 15:19
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. KJRV — Matthew 15:20
21 Then Jesus went (Mark 7:24) thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. KJRV — Matthew 15:21
22 And, behold, a woman (Mark 7:25) of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son (Matthew 9:27; Matthew 20:30; Mark 10:47; Luke 18:38) of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. KJRV — Matthew 15:22
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. KJRV — Matthew 15:23
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep (Isaiah 53:6; Jeremiah 50:6; Jeremiah 50:17; Matthew 10:6; 1 Peter 2:25) of the house of Israel. (Matthew 10:6; Acts 3:26; Acts 13:46; Romans 11:1) KJRV — Matthew 15:24
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. KJRV — Matthew 15:25
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. (Matthew 7:6; Mark 7:27; Philippians 3:2; Revelation 22:15) KJRV — Matthew 15:26
27 And she (Mark 7:28) said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. KJRV — Matthew 15:27
28 Then Jesus answered (Mark 7:29) 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. KJRV — Matthew 15:28
29 And Jesus departed (Mark 7:31) from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. KJRV — Matthew 15:29
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: KJRV — Matthew 15:30
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, (Mark 7:37) 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. KJRV — Matthew 15:31
32 Then Jesus called (Mark 8:1) 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. KJRV — Matthew 15:32
33 And his disciples say unto him, Whence (Numbers 11:22; 2 Kings 4:43) should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? KJRV — Matthew 15:33
34 And Jesus saith (Mark 8:5) unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, (Matthew 16:10) and a few little fishes. KJRV — Matthew 15:34
35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. KJRV — Matthew 15:35
36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, (Deuteronomy 8:10; 1 Samuel 9:13; Matthew 14:19; Luke 22:19) and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. KJRV — Matthew 15:36
37 And they did all eat, and were filled: (Psalms 103:5; Psalms 104:28; Psalms 136:25; Psalms 145:15) and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. KJRV — Matthew 15:37
38 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. KJRV — Matthew 15:38
39 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, (Mark 8:10) and came into the coasts of Magdala. KJRV — Matthew 15:39
