Matthew - ch 15 v 21 - 39
- Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.
- Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely demonized!"
- But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us."
- But he answered, "I wasn't sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
- But she came and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, help me."
- But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
- But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
- Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.
- Jesus departed there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
- Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,
- so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing--and they glorified the God of Israel.
- Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."
- The disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?"
- Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
- He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
- and 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.
- They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
- Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
- Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
