(7)Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying:

(8)This people honor me with their lips,
But their heart is far from me.
(9)But in vain they worship me,
Teaching as doctrines commandments of men.

(10)And calling to him the multitude, he said to them: Hear, and
understand: (11)Not that which enters into the mouth defiles the man;
but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

(12)Then came to him his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou that
the Pharisees, when they heard the saying, were offended? (13)And he
answering said: Every plant, which my heavenly Father planted not,
shall be rooted up. (14)Let them alone; they are blind leaders of the

saying: Dismiss her; because she cries after us. (24)But he answering
said: I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
(25)But she came and bowed down to him, saying: Lord, help me. (26)But
he answering said: It is not good to take the children's bread, and
cast it to the dogs. (27)And she said: Yea, Lord; for the dogs also
eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters' table. (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 healed from that hour.

(29)And departing from thence, Jesus came near to the sea of Galilee;
and going up into the mountain, he sat down there. (30)And great
