Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Matthew
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Matthew
015:014 Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind;
and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall
into some pit."
015:015 "Explain to us this figurative language," said Peter.
015:016 "Are even you," He answered, "still without intellingence?
015:017 Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes
into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?
015:018 But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart,
and it is these that defile the man.
015:019 For out of the heart proceed wicked thoughts, murder, adultery,
fornication, theft, perjury, impiety of speech.
015:020 These are the things which defile the man; but eating with
unwashed hands does not defile."
015:021 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew into the vicinity of
Tyre and Sidon.
015:022 Here a Canaanitish woman of the district came out and persistently
cried out, "Sir, Son of David, pity me; my daughter is cruelly
harassed by a demon."
015:023 But He answered her not a word. Then the disciples interposed,
and begged Him, saying, "Send her away because she keeps
crying behind us."
015:024 "I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house
of Israel," He replied.
015:025 Then she came and threw herself at His feet and entreated Him.
"O Sir, help me," she said.
015:026 "It is not right," He said, "to take the children's bread
and throw it to the dogs."
015:027 "Be it so, Sir," she said, "for even the dogs eat the scraps
which fall from their masters' tables."
015:028 "O woman," replied Jesus, "great is your faith: be it done
to you as you desire." And from that moment her daughter
was restored to health.
015:029 Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee;
and ascending the hill, He sat down there.
015:030 Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them
those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb,
and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet.
And He cured them,
015:031 so that the people were amazed to see the dumb speaking, the maimed
with their hands perfect, the lame walking, and the blind seeing;
and they gave the glory to the God of Israel.
015:032 But Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "My heart
yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day
that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat.
I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they should faint
on the road."
015:033 "Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this
remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?"
015:034 "How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they said,
"and a few small fish."
015:035 So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,
