MATTHEW

Matthew 15

1Then the scribes and the Pharisees came to him from Jerusalem, saying:
Mark 3:22, Luke 5:21, Matthew 23:2, Luke 5:30, Acts 23:9
2“Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
Luke 11:38, Mark 7:2, Luke 11:38, Mark 7:2, Colossians 2:8
3But responding, he said to them: “And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said:
Colossians 2:23, Colossians 2:23, Mark 7:6, Mark 7:8, Mark 7:13
4‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Whoever will have cursed father or mother shall die a death.’
Exodus 20:12, Exodus 20:12, Exodus 21:17, Leviticus 20:9, Exodus 21:17
5But you say: ‘If anyone will have said to father or mother, “It is dedicated, so that whatever is from me will benefit you,”
Mark 7:10, Mark 7:13, Mark 7:10, Mark 7:13, Acts 5:29
6then he shall not honor his father or his mother.’ So have you nullified the commandment of God, for the sake of your tradition.
1 Timothy 5:8, 1 Timothy 5:8, Jeremiah 8:8, Jeremiah 8:8, Psalms 119:126
7Hypocrites! How well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
Mark 7:6, Mark 7:6, Matthew 23:23, Matthew 23:29, Matthew 23:23
8‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Isaiah 29:13, Isaiah 29:13, Ezekiel 33:31, Ezekiel 33:31, Acts 8:21
9For in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and commandments of men.’ ”
Isaiah 29:13, Isaiah 29:13, Mark 7:7, Mark 7:7, 1 Timothy 1:4
10And having called the multitudes to him, he said to them: “Listen and understand.
Mark 7:14, Mark 7:15, Mark 7:14, Mark 7:15, Luke 20:45
11A man is not defiled by what enters into the mouth, but by what proceeds from the mouth. This is what defiles a man.”
Mark 7:15, Mark 7:15, Matthew 15:18, Matthew 15:20, Matthew 15:18
12Then his disciples drew near and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees, upon hearing this word, were offended?”
1 Kings 22:13, 1 Kings 22:14, 1 Corinthians 10:32, 1 Corinthians 10:33, 1 Kings 22:13
13But in response he said: “Every plant which has not been planted by my heavenly Father shall be uprooted.
John 15:2, John 15:2, Isaiah 60:21, Isaiah 60:21, John 15:6
14Leave them alone. They are blind, and they lead the blind. But if the blind are in charge of the blind, both will fall into the pit.”
Luke 6:39, Luke 6:39, Isaiah 56:10, Isaiah 56:10, Matthew 23:16
15And responding, Peter said to him, “Explain this parable to us.”
Matthew 13:36, Matthew 13:36, Mark 4:34, John 16:29, Mark 7:17
16But he said: “Are you, even now, without understanding?
Matthew 16:9, Matthew 16:9, Mark 7:18, Mark 9:32, Mark 7:18
17Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the gut, and is cast into the sewer?
Luke 6:45, Luke 6:45, 1 Corinthians 6:13, 1 Corinthians 6:13, Matthew 7:19
18But what proceeds from the mouth, goes forth from the heart, and those are the things that defile a man.
Proverbs 15:28, Proverbs 15:28, Matthew 12:34, Matthew 12:34, Matthew 15:11
19For from the heart go out evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
Mark 7:21, Mark 7:23, Mark 7:21, Mark 7:23, Galatians 5:19
20These are the things that defile a man. But to eat without washing hands does not defile a man.”
Mark 7:3, Mark 7:4, Mark 7:3, Mark 7:4, 1 Corinthians 6:9
21And departing from there, Jesus withdrew into the areas of Tyre and Sidon.
Mark 7:24, Mark 7:30, Mark 7:24, Mark 7:30, Matthew 11:21
22And behold, a woman of Canaan, going out from those parts, cried out, saying to him: “Take pity on me, Lord, Son of David. My daughter is badly afflicted by a demon.”
Matthew 9:27, Matthew 9:27, Matthew 17:15, Matthew 17:15, Mark 7:25
23He did not say a word to her. And his disciples, drawing near, petitioned him, saying: “Dismiss her, for she is crying out after us.”
Matthew 14:15, Matthew 14:15, Genesis 42:7, Mark 10:47, Mark 10:48
24And responding, he said, “I was not sent except to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.”
Matthew 10:5, Matthew 10:6, Matthew 10:5, Matthew 10:6, Romans 15:8
25But she approached and adored him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
Matthew 14:33, Hosea 12:4, Matthew 20:31, Genesis 32:26, Mark 9:22
26And responding, he said, “It is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.”
Mark 7:27, Mark 7:28, Mark 7:27, Mark 7:28, Matthew 7:6
27But she said, “Yes, Lord, but the young dogs also eat from the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.”
Luke 16:21, Ephesians 3:8, Luke 16:21, Ephesians 3:8, Luke 15:18
28Then Jesus, responding, said to her: “O woman, great is your faith. Let it be done for you just as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Mark 9:23, Mark 9:24, Mark 9:23, Mark 9:24, Matthew 8:13
29And when Jesus had passed from there, he arrived beside the sea of Galilee. And ascending onto a mountain, he sat down there.
Matthew 4:18, Matthew 4:18, John 6:1, Matthew 5:1, John 6:1
30And great multitudes came to him, having with them the mute, the blind, the lame, the disabled, and many others. And they cast them down at his feet, and he cured them,
Luke 6:17, Luke 6:19, Luke 6:17, Luke 6:19, Acts 5:15
31so much so that the crowds wondered, seeing the mute speaking, the lame walking, the blind seeing. And they magnified the God of Israel.
Matthew 9:8, Matthew 9:8, Luke 18:43, Luke 18:43, Matthew 9:33
32And Jesus, calling together his disciples, said: “I have compassion on the crowds, because they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat. And I am not willing to dismiss them, fasting, lest they faint along the way.”
Matthew 9:36, Luke 12:29, Luke 12:30, Matthew 9:36, Luke 12:29
33And the disciples said to him: “From where, then, in the desert, would we obtain enough bread to satisfy so a great multitude?”
John 6:5, John 6:9, Mark 8:4, Mark 8:5, Luke 9:13
34And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” But they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
Matthew 16:9, Matthew 16:10, Matthew 16:9, Matthew 16:10, Luke 24:41
35And he instructed the crowds to recline upon the ground.
Mark 6:39, Mark 6:40, John 6:10, Luke 9:14, Luke 9:16
36And taking the seven loaves and the fish, and giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.
Romans 14:6, Luke 22:19, Romans 14:6, Luke 22:19, Acts 27:35
37And they all ate and were satisfied. And, from what was left over of the fragments, they took up seven full baskets.
Mark 8:19, Mark 8:21, Mark 8:19, Mark 8:21, Matthew 14:20
38But those who ate were four thousand men, plus children and women.
39And having dismissed the crowd, he climbed into a boat. And he went into the coastal region of Magadan.
Mark 8:10, Mark 8:10, Matthew 14:22, Matthew 14:22
