Today there are four chapters.
February 10: Matthew 15, Leviticus 1, Leviticus 2, Leviticus 3 (click on the chapter to begin reading)
In Matthew 15 Jesus defined what defiles a person; it is not what he eats, but what comes out of his mouth. Ceremonial cleansing is just for show. Jesus then went to Canaanite territory, the region of Tyre and Sidon where he met a Canaanite woman with a sick daughter. She had such great a faith that Jesus healed her daughter from afar. Jesus went back to the sea of Galilee and did many other miracles. Large crowds followed him, and after having been without food for three days he fed the crowd of 4000 (plus women and children). This time they had seven loaves of bread and a few fishes. After eating to everybody’s satisfaction the disciples picked up seven baskets of leftovers. (No waste here).
Leviticus 1 tells of how the burnt offering shall be performed.
Leviticus 2 specifies the grain offering, and
Leviticus 3 deals with the peace or fellowship offering.
