3And he answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Colossians 2:23, Colossians 2:23, Mark 7:6, Mark 7:8, Mark 7:13
4For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
Exodus 20:12, Exodus 20:12, Exodus 21:17, Leviticus 20:9, Exodus 21:17
5But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"
Mark 7:10, Mark 7:13, Mark 7:10, Mark 7:13, Acts 5:29
6he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the word of God void because of your tradition.
1 Timothy 5:8, 1 Timothy 5:8, Jeremiah 8:8, Jeremiah 8:8, Psalms 119:126
7You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Mark 7:6, Mark 7:6, Matthew 23:23, Matthew 23:29, Matthew 23:23
8'These people honor 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
9And in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"
Isaiah 29:13, Isaiah 29:13, Mark 7:7, Mark 7:7, 1 Timothy 1:4
10He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.
Mark 7:14, Mark 7:15, Mark 7:14, Mark 7:15, Luke 20:45

Mark 7:15, Mark 7:15, Matthew 15:18, Matthew 15:20, Matthew 15:18
12Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
1 Kings 22:13, 1 Kings 22:14, 1 Corinthians 10:32, 1 Corinthians 10:33, 1 Kings 22:13
13But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
John 15:2, John 15:2, Isaiah 60:21, Isaiah 60:21, John 15:6

15Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."
Matthew 13:36, Matthew 13:36, Mark 4:34, John 16:29, Mark 7:17
16So he said, "Do you also still not understand?
Matthew 16:9, Matthew 16:9, Mark 7:18, Mark 9:32, Mark 7:18
17Do you not understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?
Luke 6:45, Luke 6:45, 1 Corinthians 6:13, 1 Corinthians 6:13, Matthew 7:19
18But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
Proverbs 15:28, Proverbs 15:28, Matthew 12:34, Matthew 12:34, Matthew 15:11
19For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
Mark 7:21, Mark 7:23, Mark 7:21, Mark 7:23, Galatians 5:19
20These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man."
Mark 7:3, Mark 7:4, Mark 7:3, Mark 7:4, 1 Corinthians 6:9
21Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

27But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

Luke 6:17, Luke 6:19, Luke 6:17, Luke 6:19, Acts 5:15
31so that the crowd wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing-and they glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew 9:8, Matthew 9:8, Luke 18:43, Luke 18:43, Matthew 9:33

35He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
Mark 6:39, Mark 6:40, John 6:10, Luke 9:14, Luke 9:16
36and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
