Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Matthew 15 opens with Jesus rebuking the Pharisees for elevating tradition above God's command, teaching that what defiles comes from the heart, not unwashed hands. He commends a Canaanite woman's persistent faith and heals her afflicted daughter. The chapter closes with Jesus healing the lame, blind, and maimed, then feeding four thousand from seven loaves with baskets left over.
