Matthew 15 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Tradition and Commandment

(Mar 7:1–23 )

Then^G5119 some Pharisees^G5330 and scribes^G1122 *came^G4334 to Jesus^G2424 from Jerusalem^G2414 and said^G3004,

Mat 15:2“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”

Mat 15:3

Mat 15:3And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves also break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

Mat 15:4

Mat 15:4“For God said, ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,’ and, ‘THE ONE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO [fn]BE PUT TO DEATH.’

Mat 15:5

Mat 15:5“But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been [fn]given to God,”

Mat 15:6

Mat 15:6he is not to [fn]honor his father or mother.’ And by this you have invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

Mat 15:7

Mat 15:7“You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you, by saying:

Mat 15:8

‘THIS^G3778 PEOPLE^G2992 HONORS^G5091 ME WITH THEIR LIPS^G5491,

BUT THEIR HEART^G2588 IS FAR^G4206 AWAY^G568 FROM ME.

Mat 15:9

‘AND IN^G3155 VAIN^G3155 DO THEY WORSHIP^G4576 ME,

TEACHING^G1321 AS DOCTRINES^G1319 THE COMMANDMENTS^G1778 OF MEN^G444.’”

Mat 15:10

After Jesus called^G4341 the crowd^G3793 to Him, He said^G3004 to them, “Hear^G191 and understand^G4920!

Mat 15:11

Mat 15:11“It is not what enters the mouth that defiles the person, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles the person.”

Mat 15:12

Then^G5119 the disciples^G3101 came^G4334 and *said^G3004 to Him, “Do You know^G6063 that the Pharisees^G5330 were [fn]offended^G4624 when they heard^G191 this^G3588 statement^G3056?”

Mat 15:13

Mat 15:13But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

Mat 15:14

Mat 15:14“Leave them alone; they are blind guides [fn]of blind people. And if a person who is blind guides another who is blind, both will fall into a pit.”

The Heart of Mankind

Mat 15:15

Peter^G4074 [fn]said^G3004 to Him, “Explain^G5419 the parable^G3850 to us.”

Mat 15:16

Mat 15:16 [fn]Jesus said, “Are you also still lacking in understanding?

Mat 15:17

Mat 15:17“Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is [fn]eliminated?

Mat 15:18

Mat 15:18“But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person.

Mat 15:19

Mat 15:19“For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, and [fn]slanderous statements.

Mat 15:20

Mat 15:20“These are the things that defile the person; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the person.”

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

(Mar 7:24–30 )

Mat 15:21

Jesus^G2424 went^G1831 away^G1831 from^G1564 there^G1564, and withdrew^G402 into the region^G3313 of Tyre^G5184 and Sidon^G4605.

Mat 15:22

Mat 15:22And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely demon-possessed.”

Mat 15:23

Mat 15:23But He did not answer her with even a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting [fn]at us!”

Mat 15:24

Mat 15:24But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Mat 15:25

Mat 15:25But she came and began [fn]to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

Mat 15:26

Mat 15:26Yet He answered and said, “It is not [fn]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

Mat 15:27

Mat 15:27And she said, “Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”

Mat 15:28

Mat 15:28Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed [fn]at once.

Healing Crowds

(Mar 7:31–37 )

Mat 15:29

Departing^G3327 from^G1564 there^G1564, Jesus^G2424 went^G2064 along^G3844 the Sea^G2281 of Galilee^G1056, and after going^G305 up^G305 on the mountain^G3735, He was sitting^G2521 there^G1563.

Mat 15:30

Mat 15:30And [fn]large crowds came to Him bringing with them those who were limping, had impaired limbs, were blind, or were unable to speak, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.

Mat 15:31

Mat 15:31So the crowd was astonished as they saw those who were unable to speak talking, those with impaired limbs [fn]restored, those who were limping walking around, and those who were blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

Four Thousand Men Fed

(Mar 8:1–10 )

Mat 15:32

Now^G1161 Jesus^G2424 called^G4341 His disciples^G3101 to Him and said^G3004, “I feel^G4697 compassion^G4697 for the [fn]people^G3793, because^G3754 they [fn]have remained^G4357 with Me now^G2235 for three^G5140 days^G2250 and have^G2192 nothing^G3756^G5100 to eat^G2068; and I do not want^G2309 to send^G630 them away^G630 hungry^G3523, for they might faint^G1590 on the way^G3598.”

Mat 15:33

Mat 15:33The disciples *said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?”

Mat 15:34

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

Mat 15:35

Mat 15:35And He directed the [fn]people to [fn]sit down on the ground;

Mat 15:36

Mat 15:36and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and after giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

Mat 15:37

Mat 15:37And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full.

Mat 15:38

Mat 15:38And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

Mat 15:39

And sending^G630 away^G630 the crowds^G3793, Jesus got^G1684 into the boat^G4143 and came^G2064 to the region^G3725 of Magadan^G3093.
