Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Matthew chapter fifteen. Then came to Jesus, scribes and pharisees,
which were of Jerusalem, saying, why do thy disciples transgress
the tradition of the elders, For they wash not their
hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said,
unto them, why do ye also transgress the commandment of

(00:23):
God by your tradition? For God commanded saying, honor thy
father and mother. And he that curseth father or mother,
let him die the death. But ye say, whosoever shall
say to his father or his mother, it is a
gift by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by Me, And

(00:44):
honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none
effect by your tradition, Ye hypocrites, Well did isis prophesy
of you, saying, people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth,
and honorth me with their lips, But their heart is

(01:05):
far from me, But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called
the multitude and said, unto them, hear and understand not
that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man but
that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth the man.

(01:29):
Then came his disciples and said, unto him, knowest thou
that the Pharisees were offended after they heard the saying.
But he answered and said, every plant which my heavenly
Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them
alone they be blind leaders of the blind. And if

(01:51):
the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Then answered Peter, and said, unto him, declare unto us
this parable. And Jesus said, are ye also yet without understanding?
Do not ye yet understand that whatsoever entereth in at
the mouth goeth into the belly and is cast out

(02:14):
into the draft. But those things which proceed out of
the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile
the man. For out of the heart procede evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts,
false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man.

(02:39):
But to eat with unwashing hands defileth not a man.
Then Jesus went thence and departed into the coasts of
Tire and Sidon, And behold, a woman of Canaan came
out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying,
have mercy on me, o Lord, thou son of David,

(02:59):
My daughter is grievously vexed with the devil. But he
answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, send her away, for she cries after us.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but
unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Then

(03:20):
came she and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me. But
he answered and said, it is not meet to take
the children's bread and to cast it to dogs. And
she said, truth, Lord, yet the dogs eat of the
crumbs which fall from their master's table. Then Jesus answered

(03:41):
and said, unto her, o woman, great is thy faith,
be it unto thee, even as thou wilt. And her
daughter was made whole from that very hour. And Jesus
departed from thence and came nigh unto the Sea of Galilee,
and went up into a mountain and sat down there,

(04:03):
and great multitudes came unto him, having with them those
that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed in many others, and
cast them down at Jesus's feet, and he healed them
insomuch that the multitude wondered when they saw the dumb
to speak, the maimed to behold, the lame to walk,

(04:24):
and the blind to see, and they glorified the God
of Israel. Then Jesus called his disciples unto him and said,
I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with
me now three days and have nothing to eat. And
I will not send them away fasting lest they faint

(04:45):
in the way. And his disciples say unto him, whence
should we have so much bread in the wilderness as
to fill so great a multitude? And Jesus saith unto them,
how many loaves have ye? They said, seven and a
few little fishes. And he commanded the multitude to sit

(05:06):
down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves
and the fishes, and gave thanks and brake them, and
gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
And they did all eat and were filled. And they
took up of the broken meat that was left, seven
baskets full. And they that did eat were four thousand men,

(05:30):
beside women and children. And he sent away the multitude
and took ship and came into the cult of Magdala,
