Gift of I AM (Matthew) 15

1 Then the scribes and The Separate (Pharisees), who were from Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) said to I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua):

2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

3 But He answered: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

4 For God commanded: Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses his father or mother, let him die the death.

5 But you say: Whoever shall say to his father or his mother: It is a gift, by even though I might have blessed you;

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

7 You hypocrites, well did Yahweh’s Help (Isaiah) prophesy of you, saying:

8 This people draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

9 But they worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

10 And He called the multitude and said to them: Hear, and understand:

11 That which goes into the mouth does not defile a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this, defiles a man.

12 Then his disciples asked Him: Do you know that The Separate (Pharisees) were offended after hearing this saying?

13 But He answered: Every plant My heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.

14 Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

15 Then Stone (Peter) said to Him: Explain this parable to us.

16 So I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said: Are you still without understanding?

17 Do you not yet understand, that whatsoever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

18 But those things proceeding out of the mouth come from the heart; they defile the man.

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.

21 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) departed for the coasts of A Rock (Tyre) and Hunter/Fisher (Sidon).

22 There, behold, a woman of Canaan came to Him, and cried to Him, saying: Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of Beloved (David); my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But He did not answer her, not a word. His disciples came and besought Him, saying: Send her away; for she cries after us.

24 But He answered and said: I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of God Prevails (Israel).

25 Then she came and worshipped Him, saying: Lord, help me.

26 But He answered and said: It is not fitting to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

27 And she said: True Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

28 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered her: O woman, great is your faith: be it to you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

29 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) departed from there and came near the sea of Circuit-District (Galilee), went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

30 Great multitudes came to Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and laid them at I AM is Our Salvation’s (Yeshua) feet; and He healed them:

31 So much so that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of God Prevails (Israel).

32 Then I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) called His disciples to 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 on the way.

33 But his disciples said to Him: Where should we find so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

34 I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: How many loaves do you have? They answered: Seven, and a few little fishes.

35 Then He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

36 He took the seven loaves and the fishes, gave thanks, broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37 And they all ate and were filled. Then they took up the broken food that was left, seven baskets full.

38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39 Afterwards, He sent away the multitude, got on a ship, and came into the coasts of A Tower (Magdal).
