15:22. And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil. 15:23. Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us: 15:24. And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are lost of the house of Israel. 15:25. But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me. 15:26. Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs. 15:27. But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. 15:28. Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour. 15:29. And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee: and going up into a mountain, he sat there. 15:30. And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them: 15:31. So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel. 15:32. And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 15:33. And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude? 15:34. And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes. 15:35. And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground. 15:36. And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people. 15:37. And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments. 15:38. And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women. 15:39. And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan. Matthew Chapter 16 Christ refuses to shew the Pharisees a sign from heaven. Peter's confession is rewarded. He is rebuked for opposing Christ's passion. All his followers must deny themselves. 16:1. And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven. 16:2. But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. 16:3. And in the morning: To day there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?
