Matthew 15:1-39 - Interlinear Bible
Tradition and Commandment
2
"Why * do Your
disciples break the
tradition of the
elders ? For they do not
wash their
hands when they
eat bread."
4
"For
God said, '
HONOR YOUR
FATHER AND
MOTHER,' and, ' HE WHO
SPEAKS EVIL OF
FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO BE
PUT TO
DEATH.'
5
"But you
say,
'Whoever * says to his
father or mother,
"Whatever * I
have that would
help you has been
given to God,"
6
he is not to
honor his
father or his
mother .' And by this you
invalidated the
word of
God for the
sake of your
tradition.
8
'
THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR
LIPS, BUT THEIR
HEART IS
FAR AWAY FROM ME.
9
'BUT IN
VAIN DO THEY
WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS
DOCTRINES THE
PRECEPTS OF
MEN.' "
10
After Jesus
called the
crowd to Him, He
said to them,
"Hear and
understand.
11
" It is not
what enters into the
mouth that
defiles the
man, but
what proceeds out of the
mouth,
this defiles the
man."
12
Then the
disciples came and
said to Him, "Do You
know that the
Pharisees were
offended when they
heard this statement ?"
14
"Let them
alone ; they are
blind guides of the
blind. And
if a
blind man guides a
blind man,
both will
fall into a
pit."
The Heart of Man
15
Peter said to Him, "
Explain the
parable to us."
17
"Do you not
understand that
everything that
goes into the
mouth passes into the
stomach, and is
eliminated * ?
18
"But the things that
proceed out of the
mouth come from the
heart, and
those defile the
man.
20
"These are the things which
defile the
man ; but to
eat with
unwashed hands does not
defile the
man."
The Syrophoenician Woman
23
But He did not
answer her a
word. And His
disciples came and
implored Him,
saying,
"Send her
away,
because she keeps
shouting at us."
24
But He
answered and
said, "I was
sent only * * to the
lost sheep of the
house of
Israel."
25
But she
came and began to
bow down before Him,
saying,
"Lord,
help me!"
26
And He
answered and
said, "It is not
good to
take the
children's bread and
throw it to the
dogs."
27
But she
said,
"Yes,
Lord ; but
even the
dogs feed on the
crumbs which
fall from their
masters' table."
28
Then Jesus said to her,
"O woman, your
faith is
great ; it shall be
done for you as you
wish." And her
daughter was
healed at
once *.
Healing Crowds
30
And
large crowds came to Him,
bringing with them those who were
lame,
crippled,
blind,
mute, and
many others, and they
laid them
down at His
feet ; and He
healed them.
Four Thousand Fed
32
And
Jesus called His
disciples to Him, and
said, " I
feel compassion for the
people,
because they have
remained with Me
now three days and
have nothing * to
eat ; and I do not
want to
send them
away hungry, for they might
faint on the
way."
34
And
Jesus said to them,
"How many loaves do you
have ?" And they
said,
"Seven, and a
few small fish."
35
And He
directed the
people to
sit down on the
ground ;
36
and He
took the
seven loaves and the
fish ; and
giving thanks, He
broke them and started
giving them to the
disciples, and the
disciples gave them to the
people.
39
And
sending away the
crowds, Jesus
got into the
boat and
came to the
region of
Magadan.
