CHAPTER 15

God's Commandments and Men's Traditions
1. Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying,
2. "Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread."
3. He answered and said to them, "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
4. For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother', and, 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.'
5. But you say, "Whoever says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God --
6. then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
7. Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8. ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.
9. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
10. When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand:
11. Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
12. Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13. But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.
14. Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15. Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16. So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding?
17. Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.
19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
20. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

A Gentile Shows Her Faith
21. Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23. But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24. But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25. Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26. But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
27. And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28. Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Jesus Heals Great Multitudes
29. Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there.
30. Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them.
31. So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

Feeding the Four Thousand
32. Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
33. Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”
34. Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”
35. So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36. And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.
37. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.
38. Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39. And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala.

These the the book I have completed:

  • Matthew - In progress. Started Sunday, June 11, 2006

My Aplogoies, This online bible is not complete yet. I have dedicated this site to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Through my search to find software of a PHP language Holy Bible Script, I have not found none. Jesus has given me the wisdom to be able to write my own code, and this is just what I am doing. I am in the process of writing this online Bible, word by word. I am starting this bible with the book of Matthew in the New Testament. The books and chapter that you find in this online bible are the only ones I have completed. I hope to have this bible completed soon. I also plan to share my script with anyone who is interested in having the script under GPL/GNU license. I ask that you pray for me to have the wisdom and strength to continue with this project. If you would like to help me with the data entry, please let me know. You can contact our webmaster at http://www.wallpaperama.com/ May the Lord bless you. Amen.
