1 Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" scribes|strong="G1122" and|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" from|strong="G2532" Jerusalem|strong="G2414" came|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004",
2 “Why|strong="G5101" do|strong="G5101" yoʋr disciples|strong="G3101" break|strong="G3862" the|strong="G1223" tradition|strong="G3862" of|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1223" elders|strong="G4245"?

10 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004" called|strong="G3004" the|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793" over and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588", “Listen \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w understand|strong="G4920"\+w*:

12 Then|strong="G5119" his|strong="G3754" disciples|strong="G3101" came|strong="G4334" and|strong="G4334" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588", “Do|strong="G1492" yoʋ know|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G3588" Pharisees|strong="G5330" were|strong="G3588" offended|strong="G4624" when|strong="G1492" they|strong="G3588" heard what|strong="G3588" yoʋ said|strong="G3004"?”

15 Then|strong="G1161" Peter|strong="G4074" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588" in|strong="G3004" response, “Explain|strong="G5419" this|strong="G3588" parable|strong="G3850" to|strong="G3004" us|strong="G3004".”

21 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" went|strong="G1831" away|strong="G1831" from|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" withdrew|strong="G2424" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" district|strong="G3313" of|strong="G2532" Tyre|strong="G5184" and|strong="G2532" Sidon|strong="G4605".
22 And|strong="G2532" behold|strong="G2400", a|strong="G2532" Canaanite|strong="G5478" woman|strong="G1135" from|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" region|strong="G3725" came|strong="G1831" and|strong="G2532" cried|strong="G2896" out|strong="G1831" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", “Have|strong="G2532" mercy|strong="G1653" on|strong="G1653" me|strong="G1473", Lord|strong="G2962", Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" David|strong="G1138"!

23 But|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" respond to|strong="G2532" her|strong="G1438" at|strong="G1161" all|strong="G2532". So|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1438" disciples|strong="G3101" came|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" urged him|strong="G3588", “Send her|strong="G1438" away, for|strong="G3754" she|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" crying|strong="G2896" out|strong="G2896" after|strong="G1161" us|strong="G3004".”
24 In|strong="G1519" response Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004", “\+w I|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w was|strong="G3588"\+w* sent \+w only|strong="G1487"\+w* \+w to|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1519"\+w* lost \+w sheep|strong="G4263"\+w* \+w of|strong="G3624"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w house|strong="G3624"\+w* \+w of|strong="G3624"\+w* \+w Israel|strong="G2474"\+w*.”
25 But|strong="G1161" she|strong="G1161" came|strong="G2064" and|strong="G1161" bowed|strong="G4352" down|strong="G4352" before|strong="G4352" him|strong="G3588", saying|strong="G3004", “Lord|strong="G2962", help me|strong="G1473".”
26 He|strong="G2532" replied|strong="G3004", “\+w It|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w good|strong="G2570"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w take|strong="G2983"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w children|strong="G5043"\+w*'s bread \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* throw \+w it|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w dogs|strong="G2952"\+w*.”
27 She|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “Yes|strong="G3483", Lord|strong="G2962", yet|strong="G2532" even|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" dogs|strong="G2952" eat|strong="G2068" the|strong="G2532" crumbs|strong="G5589" that|strong="G3588" fall|strong="G4098" from|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" table|strong="G5132" of|strong="G2532" their|strong="G2532" masters|strong="G2962".”
28 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" answered|strong="G3004" her|strong="G3588", “\+w O|strong="G5599"\+w* \+w woman|strong="G1135"\+w*, \+w great|strong="G3173"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* yoʋr \+w faith|strong="G4102"\+w*; \+w it|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2309"\+w* \+w be|strong="G1096"\+w* \+w done|strong="G1096"\+w* \+w for|strong="G2532"\+w* yoʋ \+w as|strong="G5613"\+w* yoʋ \+w wish|strong="G2309"\+w*.” And|strong="G2532" her|strong="G3588" daughter|strong="G2364" was|strong="G1096" healed|strong="G2390" from|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" hour|strong="G5610".
29 Departing|strong="G3327" from|strong="G3844" there|strong="G1563", Jesus|strong="G2424" went|strong="G2064" along|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Sea|strong="G2281" of|strong="G2532" Galilee|strong="G1056". Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2064" up|strong="G1519" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" mountain|strong="G3735" and|strong="G2532" sat|strong="G2521" down|strong="G2521".
30 Large|strong="G4183" crowds|strong="G3793" came|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", having|strong="G2192" with|strong="G3326" them|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" lame|strong="G5560", blind|strong="G5185", mute|strong="G2974", crippled|strong="G2948", and|strong="G2532" many|strong="G4183" others|strong="G2087". They|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" at|strong="G3844" the|strong="G2532" feet|strong="G4228" of|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" healed|strong="G2323" them|strong="G3588".
31 So|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" crowds|strong="G3793" were|strong="G3588" amazed|strong="G2296" when|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" saw the|strong="G2532" mute|strong="G2974" speaking|strong="G2980", the|strong="G2532" crippled|strong="G2948" made|strong="G2316" well|strong="G2532", the|strong="G2532" lame|strong="G5560" walking|strong="G4043", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" blind|strong="G5185" seeing.

32 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" called|strong="G3004" his|strong="G1438" disciples|strong="G3101" over|strong="G1909" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “\+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w compassion|strong="G4697"\+w* \+w on|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w crowd|strong="G3793"\+w* \+w because|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w they|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* stayed \+w with|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w now|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w for|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w three|strong="G5140"\+w* \+w days|strong="G2250"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w nothing|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w eat|strong="G2068"\+w*. \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w do|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w want|strong="G2309"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* send \+w them|strong="G3588"\+w* away \+w without|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w having|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w eaten|strong="G5315"\+w*, \+w lest|strong="G3379"\+w* \+w they|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w faint|strong="G1590"\+w* \+w on|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w way|strong="G3598"\+w*.”
33 His|strong="G1722" disciples|strong="G3101" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", “Where|strong="G4159" can|strong="G3004" we|strong="G2249" get|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532" many|strong="G5118" loaves in|strong="G1722" such|strong="G5118" a|strong="G2532" desolate|strong="G2047" place|strong="G2047" to|strong="G2532" fill|strong="G2532" such|strong="G5118" a|strong="G2532" large|strong="G5118" crowd|strong="G3793"?”
