Matt.15.10

He then called the crowd together and said, "Listen, and take this to heart.

Matt.15.10

Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand.

Matt.15.10

When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand:

Matt.15.10

Then Jesus called to the crowds and said, "Listen to what I say and try to understand.

Matt.15.11

It's not what you swallow that pollutes your life, but what you vomit up."

Matt.15.11

What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.'"

Matt.15.11

Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."

Matt.15.11

You are not defiled by what you eat; you are defiled by what you say and do. "

Matt.15.12

Later his disciples came and told him, "Did you know how upset the Pharisees were when they heard what you said?"

Matt.15.12

Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?"

Matt.15.12

Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?"

Matt.15.12

Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you realize you offended the Pharisees by what you just said?"

Matt.15.13

Jesus shrugged it off. "Every tree that wasn't planted by my Father in heaven will be pulled up by its roots.

Matt.15.13

He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.

Matt.15.13

But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.

Matt.15.13

Jesus replied, "Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be rooted up,

Matt.15.14

Forget them. They are blind men leading blind men. When a blind man leads a blind man, they both end up in the ditch."

Matt.15.14

Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

Matt.15.14

Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch."

Matt.15.14

so ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch."

Matt.15.15

Peter said, "I don't get it. Put it in plain language."

Matt.15.15

Peter said, "Explain the parable to us."

Matt.15.15

Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us."

Matt.15.15

Then Peter asked Jesus, "Explain what you meant when you said people aren't defiled by what they eat."

Matt.15.16

Jesus replied, "You too? Are you being willfully stupid?

Matt.15.16

"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them.

Matt.15.16

So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding?

Matt.15.16

"Don't you understand?" Jesus asked him.

Matt.15.17

Don't you know that anything that is swallowed works its way through the intestines and is finally defecated?

Matt.15.17

"Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?

Matt.15.17

Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

Matt.15.17

"Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes out of the body.

Matt.15.18

But what comes out of the mouth gets its start in the heart.

Matt.15.18

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.'

Matt.15.18

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

Matt.15.18

But evil words come from an evil heart and defile the person who says them.

Matt.15.19

It's from the heart that we vomit up evil arguments, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, lies, and cussing.

Matt.15.19

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

Matt.15.19

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

Matt.15.19

For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all other sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.

Matt.15.20

That's what pollutes. Eating or not eating certain foods, washing or not washing your hands--that's neither here nor there."

Matt.15.20

These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.'"

Matt.15.20

These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

Matt.15.20

These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands could never defile you and make you unacceptable to God!"

Matt.15.21

From there Jesus took a trip to Tyre and Sidon.

Matt.15.21

Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

Matt.15.21

Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

Matt.15.21

Jesus then left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

Matt.15.22

They had hardly arrived when a Canaanite woman came down from the hills and pleaded, "Mercy, Master, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly afflicted by an evil spirit."

Matt.15.22

A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession."

Matt.15.22

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."

Matt.15.22

A Gentile woman who lived there came to him, pleading, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter has a demon in her, and it is severely tormenting her."

Matt.15.23

Jesus ignored her. The disciples came and complained, "Now she's bothering us. Would you please take care of her? She's driving us crazy."

Matt.15.23

Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us."

Matt.15.23

But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."

Matt.15.23

But Jesus gave her no reply--not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. "Tell her to leave," they said. "She is bothering us with all her begging."

Matt.15.24

Jesus refused, telling them, "I've got my hands full dealing with the lost sheep of Israel."

Matt.15.24

He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."

Matt.15.24

But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

Matt.15.24

Then he said to the woman, "I was sent only to help the people of Israel--God's lost sheep--not the Gentiles."

Matt.15.25

Then the woman came back to Jesus, went to her knees, and begged. "Master, help me."

Matt.15.25

The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said.

Matt.15.25

Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

Matt.15.25

But she came and worshiped him and pleaded again, "Lord, help me!"

Matt.15.26

He said, "It's not right to take bread out of children's mouths and throw it to dogs."

Matt.15.26

He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."

Matt.15.26

But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."

Matt.15.26

"It isn't right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs," he said.

Matt.15.27

She was quick: "You're right, Master, but beggar dogs do get scraps from the master's table."

Matt.15.27

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

Matt.15.27

And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."

Matt.15.27

"Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even dogs are permitted to eat crumbs that fall beneath their master's table."

Matt.15.28

Jesus gave in. "Oh, woman, your faith is something else. What you want is what you get!" Right then her daughter became well.

Matt.15.28

Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Matt.15.28

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.

Matt.15.28

"Woman," Jesus said to her, "your faith is great. Your request is granted." And her daughter was instantly healed.

Matt.15.29

After Jesus returned, he walked along Lake Galilee and then climbed a mountain and took his place, ready to receive visitors.

Matt.15.29

Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down.

Matt.15.29

Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there.

Matt.15.29

Jesus returned to the Sea of Galilee and climbed a hill and sat down.

Matt.15.30

They came, tons of them, bringing along the paraplegic, the blind, the maimed, the mute--all sorts of people in need--and more or less threw them down at Jesus' feet to see what he would do with them. He healed them.

Matt.15.30

Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.

Matt.15.30

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.

Matt.15.30

A vast crowd brought him the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others with physical difficulties, and they laid them before Jesus. And he healed them all.

Matt.15.31

When the people saw the mutes speaking, the maimed healthy, the paraplegics walking around, the blind looking around, they were astonished and let everyone know that God was blazingly alive among them. [JC]

Matt.15.31

The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.

Matt.15.31

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.

Matt.15.31

The crowd was amazed! Those who hadn't been able to speak were talking, the crippled were made well, the lame were walking around, and those who had been blind could see again! And they praised the God of Israel.

Matt.15.32

But Jesus wasn't finished with them. He called his disciples and said, "I hurt for these people. For three days now they've been with me, and now they have nothing to eat. I can't send them away without a meal--they'd probably collapse on the road."

Matt.15.32

Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."

Matt.15.32

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."

Matt.15.32

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry, or they will faint along the road."

Matt.15.33

His disciples said, "But where in this deserted place are you going to dig up enough food for a meal?"

Matt.15.33

His disciples answered, "Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?"

Matt.15.33

Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?"

Matt.15.33

The disciples replied, "And where would we get enough food out here in the wilderness for all of them to eat?"

Matt.15.34

Jesus asked, "How much bread do you have?Seven loaves," they said, "plus a few fish."

Matt.15.34

"How many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they replied, "and a few small fish."

Matt.15.34

Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."

Matt.15.34

Jesus asked, "How many loaves of bread do you have?" They replied, "Seven, and a few small fish."

Matt.15.35

At that, Jesus directed the people to sit down.

Matt.15.35

He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.

Matt.15.35

So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

Matt.15.35

So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground.

Matt.15.36

He took the seven loaves and the fish. After giving thanks, he divided it up and gave it to the people.

Matt.15.36

Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people.

Matt.15.36

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.

Matt.15.36

Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, thanked God for them, broke them into pieces, and gave them to the disciples, who distributed the food to the crowd.

Matt.15.37

Everyone ate. They had all they wanted. It took seven large baskets to collect the leftovers.

Matt.15.37

They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Matt.15.37

So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.

Matt.15.37

They all ate until they were full, and when the scraps were picked up, there were seven large baskets of food left over!

Matt.15.38

Over four thousand people ate their fill at that meal.

Matt.15.38

The number of those who ate was four thousand, besides women and children.

Matt.15.38

Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

Matt.15.38

There were four thousand men who were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children.

Matt.15.39

After Jesus sent them away, he climbed in the boat and crossed over to the Magadan hills.

Matt.15.39

After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.

Matt.15.39

And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala.

Matt.15.39

Then Jesus sent the people home, and he got into a boat and crossed over to the region of Magadan.
