Bible. Matthew
014:024 Meanwhile the boat was far out on the Lake, buffeted and tossed
by the waves, the wind being adverse.
014:025 But towards daybreak He went to them, walking over the waves.
014:026 When the disciples saw Him walking on the waves, they were
greatly alarmed. "It is a spirit," they exclaimed, and they
cried out with terror.
014:027 But instantly Jesus spoke to them, and said, "There is no danger;
it is I; do not be afraid."
014:028 "Master," answered Peter, "if it is you, bid me come to you
upon the water."
014:029 "Come," said Jesus. Then Peter climbed down from the boat
and walked upon the water to go to Him.
014:030 But when he felt the wind he grew frightened, and beginning
to sink he cried out, "Master, save me."
014:031 Instantly Jesus stretched out His hand and caught hold of him,
saying to him, "O little faith, why did you doubt?"
014:032 So they climbed into the boat, and the wind lulled;
014:033 and the men on board fell down before him and said, "You are
indeed God's Son."
014:034 When they had quite crossed over, they put ashore at Gennesaret;
014:035 and the men of the place, recognizing Him, sent word into all
the country round. So they brought all the sick to Him,
014:036 and they entreated Him that they might but touch the tassel
of His outer garment; and all who did so were restored
to perfect health.
015:001 Then there came to Jesus a party of Pharisees and Scribes
from Jerusalem, who inquired,
015:002 "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders
by not washing their hands before meals?"
015:003 "Why do you, too," He retorted, "transgress God's commands
for the sake of your tradition?
015:004 For God said, `Honour thy father and thy mother'; and `Let him
who reviles father or mother be certainly put to death';
015:005 but you--this is what you say: `If a man says to his father
or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise
you should have received from me--
015:006 he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you
have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.
015:007 Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you,
015:008 "`This is a People who honour Me with their lips, while their
heart is far away from Me;
015:009 but it is in vain they worship Me, while they lay down precepts
which are mere human rules.'"
015:010 Then, when He had called the people to Him, Jesus said,
"Hear and understand.
015:011 It is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him;
but it is what comes out of his mouth--that* defiles a man."
015:012 Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do you know that the
Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?"
015:013 "Every plant," He replied, "which my Heavenly Father has not
planted will be rooted up.
