Again Jesus is confronted by Pharisees and Scribes.

Why do you all not heed what the Elders prescribe?

Jesus replied, "Why do you transgress what is commissioned?

You make God's laws ineffective by your traditions.

​

Again Matthew quotes from the Prophets

Who describes them as mere hypocrites

"They honor me with their lips, their hearts far away

Their worship is vain even though they do pray.

​

The disciples were fearful they had offended

Leave them alone, Father will attend them

The blind and their leaders will fall in the ditch

Our Father will deal with them without a hitch.

​

Peter asked that He explain the parable.

Jesus said, "You don't know how this is comparable,

What goes into the body is not reviled,

It's what comes from the heart that defiles."

​

Great multitudes continued to follow them

Again not enough food to go around

But their 7 loaves and few fish fed 4,000 plus

And with 7 baskets full they boarded the ship.
