Matthew 15 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

¹ And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.

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

³ 1 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

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

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

⁶ 4 Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.

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

⁸ 6 But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?

⁹ 7 Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?

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

¹¹ 9 For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

¹² 0 These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.

¹³ 1 And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

¹⁴ 2 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 grieviously troubled by the devil.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰ 8 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.

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

²² 0 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:

²³ 1 So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

²⁴ 2 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.

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

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

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

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

²⁹ 7 And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.

³⁰ 8 And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.

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

³² AND there came to him the Pharisees and Sadduccees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.

³³ But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.

³⁴ And in the morning: To day there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?

³⁵ A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.

³⁶ And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread.

³⁷ Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

³⁸ But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.

³⁹ And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?
