Matthew 15:21-16:12
21And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.”
23But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.”
24He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.”
27She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.”
28Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.
29Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there.
30And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,
31so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
33And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?”
34And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground,
36he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
37And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.
38Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
1And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
3And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
4An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.
5When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread.
6Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.”
8But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?
9Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?
10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?
11How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
