out thence departed to the regions of Tyre and
Sidon. [15:22]And behold, a woman of Canaan from those regions came out
and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is
badly affected with a demon. [15:23]But he answered her not a word. And
his disciples came and asked him, saying, Dismiss her, for she cries
after us. [15:24]But he answered and said, I am not sent, except to the
lost sheep of the house of Israel. [15:25]And she came and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, help me! [15:26]But he answered and said, It is not
right to take the children's bread and cast to the dogs. [15:27]But she
said, Yes, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from
the table of their masters. [15:28]Then Jesus answered and said to her,
O woman, great is your faith! Be it to you as you wish; and her
daughter was cured from that hour.

4 [15:29]And returning thence Jesus came to the lake of Galilee, and
going up on the mountain sat down there. [15:30]And great multitudes
came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the dumb, the
crippled, and many others; and they cast them at Jesus' feet, and he
cured them; [15:31]so that the multitude wondered, seeing the dumb
talk, the crippled sound, the lame walk, and the blind see; and they
glorified the God of Israel.

5 [15:32]And Jesus calling his disciples, said, I pity the multitude,
for it is now three days that they have continued with me, and they
have nothing to eat; I will not dismiss them fasting lest they faint by
the way. [15:33]But his disciples said to him, Whence shall we obtain
so much bread in the wilderness as to fill so great a multitude?
[15:34]And Jesus said to them, How many loaves have you? And they said,
Seven, and a few small fishes. [15:35]And he commanded the people to
sit down on the ground, [15:36]and taking the seven loaves and the
fishes, and giving thanks, he broke, and gave them to the disciples,
and the disciples to the multitudes. [15:37]And they all eat and were
filled; and they took up the fragments that remained, seven
store-baskets full. [15:38]And those who eat were four thousand men,
besides women and children. [15:39]And dismissing the multitude he went
into the ship, and came into the bounds of Magadan.
