RF MAT 15:1 True and False Religion.
Professors and Pharisees from Jerusalem then approached Jesus, inquiring,
RF MAT 15:2 "Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
RF MAT 15:3 "Why," asked Jesus, in reply to them, "Do you transgress the command of God by means of your own tradition?
RF MAT 15:4 For God commanded, HONOUR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER1; and, HE WHO NEGLECTS FATHER OR MOTHER, LET HIS END BE DEATH.2
RF MAT 15:5 But you say, 'If anyone should say to his father or mother, What I might assist you with is consecrated to God;
RF MAT 15:6 then he need not assist his father or mother': and thus you set aside the command of God by your tradition.
RF MAT 15:7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you when he said,
RF MAT 15:8 THIS PEOPLE COME NEAR TO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH,
AND HONOUR ME WITH THEIR LIPS;
BUT THEIR HEARTS RUN AWAY FROM ME.
RF MAT 15:9 So IN VAIN DO THEY PAY ME HOMAGE,
TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES COMMANDS OF MEN!"3
RF MAT 15:10 Then having called the crowd to Him, He addressed them, saying, "Listen and understand!
RF MAT 15:11 What goes into the mouth does not corrupt the man; but what comes out of his mouth does corrupt him."
RF MAT 15:12 His disciples, however, approaching Him, said, "Do you not see that the Pharisees were shocked when they heard Your assertion?"
RF MAT 15:13 But He replied, "Every plant that has not been planted by My heavenly Father shall be uprooted.
RF MAT 15:14 Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind: but when the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a ditch."
RF MAT 15:15 Peter then making answer, said to Him, "Explain this puzzle to us."
RF MAT 15:16 But Jesus replied, "Are you ignorant even yet?
RF MAT 15:17 Do you not know that everything going into the mouth proceeds to the stomach, and is from there evacuated?
RF MAT 15:18 But what come out from the mouth proceed from the heart, and corrupt the man.
RF MAT 15:19 For there come from the heart wicked thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, perjuries, blasphemies.
RF MAT 15:20 These are what corrupt the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not corrupt the man."

RF MAT 15:21 Faith Rewarded.
When Jesus removed from there, He proceeded to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
RF MAT 15:22 And there a Canaanitish woman of that part, running, called out to Him, saying, "Pity me, Master, Son of David My daughter is horribly possessed with demons!"
RF MAT 15:23 But not a word did He answer her. His disciples then advanced and begged Him to "Relieve her; because she calls after us."
RF MAT 15:24 In reply, however, He said, "I was not sent to other than the lost sheep of Israel's house."
RF MAT 15:25 But she approaching, paid Him homage, saying, "Master, help me!"
RF MAT 15:26 "It is not right," was His reply, "to take the children's bread, and throw if to the dogs!"
RF MAT 15:27 "Most true, Master," she said; "yet even the dogs feed upon the crumbs falling from their masters' table."
RF MAT 15:28 "Noble woman!" exclaimed Jesus, in reply to her; "how firm your faith! Let it be even as you desire." And her daughter was restored from that very hour.
RF MAT 15:29 And when Jesus removed from there, He came along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, and ascending the hill, He sat down.
RF MAT 15:30 Great crowds then approached Him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they threw them down near the feet of Jesus;
RF MAT 15:31 and He restored them: so that the crowd wondered, observing the dumb speaking, the maimed made sound, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they praised the God of Israel.
RF MAT 15:32 Four Thousand Fed.
Jesus then calling His disciples to Him, said, "I feel pity for the crowd; because they have now stayed with Me three days, and they have nothing to eat. I do not wish to send them away starving, for fear they should faint on the road."
RF MAT 15:33 And the disciples asked Him, "Where can we procure bread enough in a desert like this, to satisfy such a crowd?"
RF MAT 15:34 "How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked them.
"Seven, and a few small fishes," was their reply.
RF MAT 15:35 He accordingly ordered the crowd to be reclined upon the ground;
RF MAT 15:36 and taking the seven loaves and the fishes, giving thanks, He broke and handed to His disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.
RF MAT 15:37 And they all ate and were satisfied; and of the broken pieces left over, they afterwards gathered up seven baskets-full.
RF MAT 15:38 And those who had partaken numbered four thousand men, besides women and children.
RF MAT 15:39 Then having dismissed the crowd, He took the boat, and came to the neighborhood of Magdala.
