rom thence, and retired into the coast of Tyre
and Sidon.

15:22. 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 grievously troubled by a devil.

15:23. Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought
him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:

15:24. And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are
lost of the house of Israel.

15:25. But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

15:26. Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the
children, and to cast it to the dogs.

15:27. But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs
that fall from the table of their masters.

15:28. 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.

15:29. And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea
of Galilee: and going up into a mountain, he sat there.

15:30. 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:

15:31. So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame
walk, the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

15:32. 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.

15:33. And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so
many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?

15:34. And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said:
Seven, and a few little fishes.

15:35. And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.

15:36. And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he
brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.

15:37. And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven
baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.

15:38. And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children
and women.

15:39. And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and
came into the coasts of Magedan.
