15:1 Then the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem come to Jesus, saying,

15:2 Why are your disciples transgressing the tradition of the elders? For* they do not wash their hands whenever they eat bread.


15:3 But he answered and said to them, Why do you* also transgress the commandment of God because of your* tradition?

15:4 For* God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother. ' {Exo 20:12 & Deu 5:16} And, 'He who is speaking evil of their father or mother, let him be ended by the sentence of death. ' {Exo 21:17 & Lev 20:9}

15:5 But you* say, Whoever says to his father or his mother, in whatever you might be profited from me, it is a gift to God,

15:6 and then should never* honor his father and mother, and thus you* invalidated the commandment of God because of your* tradition.

15:7 You* hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied well concerning you*, saying,

15:8 'These people are drawing near to me with their mouth, and are honoring me with their lips, but their heart is distant, faraway from me.

15:9 But they are worshiping me in futility, teaching as their teachings� the commandments of men. ' {Isa 29:13}

15:10 And having called to him the crowd, he said to them, Hear* and understand*!

15:11 Not what enters into the mouth desecrates the man, but what is traveling from the mouth, this desecrates the man.


15:12 Then the disciples came near to him and said, Do you know that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this speech?

15:13 He answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly father did not plant will be uprooted.

15:14 Leave* them! They are blind guides of the blind. Now if the blind guide the blind, both will be falling into a ditch.


15:15 Now Peter answered and said to him, Explain to us the parable.

15:16 Now Jesus said, Are you* also without understanding at this point?

15:17 Are you* not yet perceiving, that whatever travels into the mouth makes room in the belly, and is cast out into the sewer?

15:18 But these things which are traveling from the mouth, come out from the heart, and they desecrate the man.

15:19 For* out of the heart comes forth evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

15:20 These things are what desecrate the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not desecrate the man. {Mar 7:24 & Mat 15:21.}

15:21 And Jesus went out from there, and departed into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.

{Mar 7:25-30 & Mat 15:22-28 Tyre and Sidon.}

15:22 And behold, a woman from Canaan came out from those borders, and cried-out to him, saying, Show-mercy to me, O Lord, you the son of David. My daughter is evilly demon-possessed.

15:23 But he answered her not a word.
And his disciples came near and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, because she is crying behind us.

15:24 But he answered and said, I was not sent, except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.


15:25 But she came and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me.

15:26 Now he answered and said, It is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the puppies.


15:27 But she said, Yes, Lord; for* even the puppies eat from the crumbs which are falling from the table of their lords.

15:28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith. Let it happen for you as you will it. And her daughter was healed from that hour. {Mar 7:31 & Mat 15:29 Avoiding Herod's territory.}

15:29 And Jesus, having gone-away from there, went beside the sea of Galilee, and he went-up into the mountain and was sitting there.

{Mar 7:32-37 & Mat 15:30-31 Magadan and Bethsaida Summer 29 AD.}

15:30 And large crowds came to him there, having the lame, blind, mute, crippled and many others with them. They tossed them beside the feet of Jesus, and he healed them;

15:31 so-that the crowds marveled, seeing the mute speaking; the crippled healthy; the lame walking; and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

{Mar 8:1-8:9 & Mat 15:32-38.}

15:32 Now Jesus called his disciples to him, and said, I have compassion upon the crowd because they already remain with me three days, and do not have anything that they might eat, and I am not willing to dismiss them starving, lest they might faint on the road.


15:33 And his disciples say to him, From where can we buy so-many loaves for us in the wilderness, so-then to feed so-great a crowd?

15:34 And Jesus said to them, How many loaves do you* have?
But they said, Seven and a few small-fish.

15:35 And he commanded the crowd to lean-back upon the soil.

15:36 And he took the seven loaves and the few fish, and he gave-thanks and broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the crowds.

15:37 And they all ate and were fully-fed, and they took up what was leftover of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

15:38 Now those eating were approximately four thousand men, plus women and children.

{Mar 8:10-26 & Mat 15:39-16:12 Near Caesarea Philippi Summer 29 AD.}

15:39 And having dismissed the crowds, he stepped into the ship, and went into the borders of Magadan.
