1About this time some Pharisees and teachers of the Law of Moses came from Jerusalem. They asked Jesus,
2“Why don't your disciples obey what our ancestors taught us to do? They don't even wash their hands before they eat.”
3Jesus answered:
Why do you disobey God and follow your own teaching?
4
6Is this any way to show respect to your parents? You ignore God's commands in order to follow your own teaching.
7And you are nothing but show-offs! Isaiah the prophet was right when he wrote that God had said,
8 from there came out shouting, “Lord and Son of David, have pity on me! My daughter is full of demons.”
23Jesus did not say a word. But the woman kept following along and shouting, so his disciples came up and asked him to send her away.
24Jesus said, “I was sent only to the people of Israel! They are like a flock of lost sheep.”
25The woman came closer. Then she knelt down and begged, “Please help me, Lord!”
26Jesus replied, “It isn't right to take food away from children and feed it to dogs.”
27“Lord, this is true,” the woman said, “but even puppies get the crumbs that fall from their owner's table.”
28Jesus answered, “Dear woman, you really do have a lot of faith, and you will be given what you want.” At that moment her daughter was healed.
Jesus Heals Many People29From there, Jesus went along Lake Galilee. Then he climbed a hill and sat down.
30Large crowds came and brought many people who were paralyzed or blind or lame or unable to talk. They placed them, and many others, in front of Jesus, and he healed them all.
31Everyone was amazed at what they saw and heard. People who had never spoken could now speak. The lame were healed, the paralyzed could walk, and the blind were able to see. Everyone was praising the God of Israel.
Jesus Feeds Four Thousand(Mark 8.1-10)32Jesus called his disciples together and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me for three days, and they don't have anything to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry. They might faint on their way home.”
33His disciples said, “This place is like a desert. Where can we find enough food to feed such a crowd?”
34Jesus asked them how much food they had. They replied, “Seven small loaves of bread and a few little fish.”
35After Jesus had told the people to sit down,
36he took the seven loaves of bread and the fish and gave thanks. He then broke them and handed them to his disciples, who passed them around to the crowds.
37Everyone ate all they wanted, and the leftovers filled seven large baskets.
38There were 4,000 men who ate, not counting the women and children.
39After Jesus had sent the crowds away, he got into a boat and sailed across the lake. He came to shore near the town of Magadan.
