Matthew

Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
