Jesus

But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:

This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.

And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.

And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.

Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?

But he answering, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.

But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?

And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coast of Tyre and Sidon.

And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil.

Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:

And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are lost of the house of Israel.

But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.

But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.

Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.

And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee: and going up into a mountain, he sat there.

And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them:

And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?

And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.

And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.

And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.

And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.
