the commandment of God void because of your tradition.
015:007 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
015:008 'These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me
with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
015:009 And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules
made by men.'"{Isaiah 29:13}
015:010 He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.
015:011 That which enters into the mouth doesn't defile the man;
but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."
015:012 Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that
the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
015:013 But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't
plant will be uprooted.
015:014 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind.
If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."
015:015 Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."
015:016 So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand?
015:017 Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes
into the belly, and then out of the body?
015:018 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart,
and they defile the man.
015:019 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
015:020 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with
unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."
015:021 Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region
of Tyre and Sidon.
015:022 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 demonized!"
015:023 But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and
begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."
015:024 But he answered, "I wasn't sent to anyone but the lost sheep
of the house of Israel."
015:025 But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
015:026 But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's
bread and throw it to the dogs."
015:027 But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs
which fall from their masters' table."
015:028 Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith!
Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter
was healed from that hour.
015:029 Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee;
and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
015:030 Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind,
mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet.
He healed them,
015:031 so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking,
injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing--and they
glorified the God of Israel.
