Matthew 15 [Context] [Commentary] [Map]
|
21. |
Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon. |
22. |
And 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 cruelly demon-possessed." |
23. |
But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us." |
24. |
But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." |
25. |
But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" |
26. |
And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." |
27. |
But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." |
28. |
Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once. |
29. |
Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there. |
30. |
And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them. |
31. |
So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. |
32. |
And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way." |
33. |
The disciples *said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?" |
34. |
And Jesus *said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish." |
35. |
And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; |
36. |
and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. |
37. |
And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full. |
38. |
And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. |
39. |
And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan. |
