Matthew 15:29-31

Tradition, the Heart, Gentile Faith, and the Compassionate Bread of the Messiah

Matthew moves from Jerusalem leaders accusing Jesus’ disciples, to Jesus accusing them of nullifying God’s command, to Jesus teaching the crowds about heart defilement, to private explanation for the disciples, to the Canaanite woman’s persistent faith, to widespread healing and praise to the God of Israel, to the feeding of four thousand, and finally to Jesus’ departure to Magadan.

29 Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.

30 Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.

31 The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
