1 Then (1) came to Jesus the Scribes and Pharisees,
which were of Jerusalem, saying,
(1) None commonly are more bold condemners of
God, than they whom God appointeth keepers of
his law.
2 (*) Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition
of the Elders? For they (a) () wash not their hands
when they eat (()) bread.
(*) Mark 7:8 .
(a) Which they received of their ancestors from hand
to hand, or their elders allowed, which were the
governors of the Church.
() Men are more rigorous to observe their own traditions
than God's commandment.
(()) Or, meat.
3 (2) But he answered and said unto them, Why do
ye also transgress the commandment of God by
your tradition?
(2) Their wicked boldness, in corrupting the commandments
of God, and that upon the pretence of godliness, and
usurping authority to make laws, is here reproved.
4 (*) For God hath commanded, saying, (b) Honor
thy father and mother; () and he that curseth father
or mother, let him die the death.
(*) Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16; Ephesians 6:2 .
(b) By honor is meant all kind of duty which children
owe to their parents.
() Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9; Proverbs 20:20 .
5 But ye say, (c) Whosoever shall say to father or
mother, (*) By the gift that is offered by me, thou
mayest have profit,
(c) The meaning is this; Whatsoever I bestow upon
the Temple, is to thy profit, for it is as good as if I
gave it thee, for (as the Pharisees of our time say)
it shall be meritorious for thee; for under this color
of religion, they raked all to themselves, as though
he that had given anything to the Temple, had done
the duty of a child.
(*) The Scribes dispensed with them that did not
their duties to their own parents, so that they would
recompense the same to their profit by their offerings.
6 Though he honor not his father, or his mother,
shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment
of God of no (d) authority by your tradition.
(d) You made it of no power and authority as much
as lay in you; for otherwise the commandments of
God stand fast in the Church of God, in despite of
this world and Satan.
7 (3) O hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you,
saying,
(3) The same men are condemned for hypocrisy and
superstition, because they made the kingdom of God
to stand in outward things.
8 (*) This people draweth near unto me with their
mouth, and honoreth me with the lips, but their heart
is far off from me.
(*) Isaiah 29:13 .
9 But (*) in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines,
men's precepts.
(*) God will not be honored according to man's
fantasy, but detesteth all good intentions, which are
not grounded on his word.
10 (4) Then he called the multitude unto him, and
said to them, Hear and understand.
(4) Christ teacheth us that hypocrisy of false teachers
which deceive our soul, is not to be born withal, no
not in indifferent matters, and there is no reason why
their ordinary vocation should blind our eyes; otherwise
we are like to perish with them.
11 (*) That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not
the man, but that which cometh out of the mouth, that
defileth the man.
(*) Mark 7:18 .
12 ¶ Then came his disciples, and said unto him,
Perceivest thou not, that the Pharisees are offended
in hearing this saying?
13 But he answered and said, (*) () Every plant
which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be
rooted up.
(*) John 15:2 .
() All they which are not grafted in Jesus Christ by
free adoption, and every doctrine, that is not established
by God's word.
14 () Let them alone, they be the (*) blind leaders
of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall
fall into the ditch.
() They are not worthy to be cared for.
(*) Luke 6:39 .
15 ¶ (*) Then answered Peter, and said to him, Declare
unto us this parable.
(*) Mark 7:17 .
16 Then said Jesus, Are ye yet without understanding?
17 Perceive ye not yet, that whatsoever entereth into
the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into
the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth,
come from the heart, and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart (*) come evil () thoughts,
murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies,
slanders.
(*) Genesis 6:5; Genesis 8:21; Mark 7:21 .
() All vices proceed of the corrupt affection of the heart.
20 These are the things which defile the man; but to
eat with unwashen hands, defileth not the man.
21 (*) And Jesus went thence, and departed into the
(e) coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
(*) Mark 7:24 .
(e) Coasts which were near to Tyre and Sidon, that
is, in that quarter where Palestina bendeth toward
Phoenice, and the sea of Syria.
22 And behold, a woman a (f) Canaanite came out
of the same coasts, and cried, saying unto him, Have
mercy on me, O Lord, the son of David; my daughter
is miserably vexed with a devil.
(f) Of the stock of the Canaanites, who dwelled
in Phenicia.
23 (5) But he answered her not a word. Then came
to him his disciples, and besought him, saying,
(*) Send her away, for she crieth after us.
(5) In that which Christ doth sometimes as it were
stop his ears against the prayers of his Saints, he
doeth it for his glory and our profit.
(*) The disciples were offended at her importunity.
24 But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but
unto the (*) lost sheep of the (g) house of Israel.
(*) Matthew 20:6 .
(g) Of the people of Israel, which people was divided
into tribes, but all those tribes came of one house.
25 Yet she came, and worshipped him, saying,
Lord help me.
26 And he answered, and said, It is not good to take
the children's bread, and to cast it to (*) whelps.
(*) Christ calleth the dogs, or whelps which are strangers
from the house of God.
27 But she said, Truth, Lord; yet indeed the whelps
eat of the crumbs, which fall from their master's table.
28 Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, O woman,
great is thy (*) faith; be it to thee, as thou desirest.
And her daughter was made whole at that hour.
(*) Christ granted her petition, for her faith's sake,
and not at the request of his disciples.
29 ¶ (6) So Jesus (*) went away from thence, and
came near unto the sea of Galilee, and went up into
a mountain and sat down there.
(6) Christ ceaseth not to be beneficial even there
where he is contemned, and in the midst of wolves
he gathereth together and softeneth his flock.
(*) Mark 7:31 .
30 And great multitudes came unto him, (*) having
with them, halt, blind, dumb, (h) maimed, and many
others, and cast them down, at Jesus' feet, and he
healed them.
(*) Isaiah 35:5 .
(h) Whose members were weakened with the palsy,
or by nature, for afterward it is said, he healed them.
Now Christ was want to heal in this wise, that such
members as were weaked, he restored to health, and
yet he could easily if he would, have given them hands
and feet and other members which wanted them.
31 In so much that the multitude wondered, to see
the dumb speak, the maimed whole, the halt to go,
and the blind to see; and they glorified the God of
Israel.
32 (*) (7) Then Jesus called his disciples unto him,
and said, I () have compassion on this multitude,
because they have (i) continued with me already
three days, and have nothing to eat; and I will not
let them depart fasting, lest they faint in the way.
(*) Mark 8:1 .
(7) By doing again this miracle, Christ sheweth that he
will never be wanting to them that follow him, no nor
in the wilderness.
() Christ cannot forget those that follow him.
(i) Go not from my side.
33 And his disciples said unto him, Whence should
we get so much bread in the wilderness, as should
suffice so great a multitude!
34 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye?
And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35 Then he commanded the multitude (k) to sit down
on the ground,
(k) Word for word, to lie down backward, as rowers
do when in rowing, they draw their oars to them.
36 And took the seven loaves, and the fishes, and gave
thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples,
and the disciples to the multitude.
37 And they did all eat, and were sufficed, and they
took up of the fragments that remained, seven
(l) baskets full.
(l) A kind of vessel wrought with twigs.
38 And they that had eaten, were four thousand men,
beside women, and little children.
39 Then Jesus sent away the multitude, and took ship,
and came into the parts of Magdala.
