GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 15:21-39
21 - And Jesus left there (Capernaum) and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that region was following after him and crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is terribly oppressed by a demon!” 23 But he didn’t answer her and his disciples came and said, “Send her away! For she keeps crying out after us.” 24 And then he answered her, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and knelt before him, and said, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It’s not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table.” 28 Then Jesus answered, “Oh woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you want!” And her daughter was healed that very instant.
29 Jesus walked on from there and beside the Sea of Galilee. And went up on the mountain and sat down. 30 And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them all. 31 And the crowd marveled, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now for three days and they have now nothing to eat. And I don’t want to send them away hungry. They may faint on the way.” 33 And the disciples said, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so many!?” 34 Jesus asked, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 He told the crowd to sit upon the ground, 36 and took the seven loaves and the fish, and after he gave thanks he broke the loaves and gave bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave the bread to the crowd. 37 And all ate and were satisfied. And they collected seven baskets of left over bread. 38 Those who ate were four thousand men, plus women and children. 39 And after sending them away, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Romans 14:1-7 ~
1 - As for one who is weaker in their faith, welcome them, but not for passing judgment on their opinions. 2 For one person believes he may eat anything, while the more feeble in faith may eat only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who doesn’t, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God welcomes both. 4 Who are any of us to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before their own master that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make us all stand.
5 One person esteems one day as better than the others, while another esteems all days as alike. LET each one be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains (from the day, or from meat) abstains in honor of the Lord and also gives thanks. 7 For none of us to ourself lives, and none of us to ourself dies. (So try to live in harmony!)
