Sure, here's the WEB translation of: 
Matthew 15:1: 
Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,

Matthew 15:2: 
"Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread."

Matthew 15:3: 
He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition?

Matthew 15:4: 
For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'

Matthew 15:5: 
But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,"

Matthew 15:6: 
he shall not honor his father or mother.' You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition.

Matthew 15:7: 
You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,

Matthew 15:8: 
'These people draw near to me with their mouth, And honor me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.

Matthew 15:9: 
And in vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrine rules made by men.'"

Matthew 15:10: 
He summoned the multitude, and said to them, "Hear, and understand.

Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"

Matthew 15:13: 
But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn't plant will be uprooted.

Matthew 15:14: 
Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit."

Matthew 15:15: 
Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us."

Matthew 15:16: 
So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand?

Matthew 15:17: 
Don't you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body?

Matthew 15:18: 
But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

Matthew 15:19: 
For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

Matthew 15:20: 
These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."

Matthew 15:21: 
Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon.

But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

Matthew 15:30: 
Great multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,

Matthew 15:31: 
so that the multitude wondered when they saw the mute speaking, injured whole, lame walking, and blind seeing--and they glorified the God of Israel.

Matthew 15:32: 
Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."

Matthew 15:33: 
The disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a deserted place as to satisfy so great a multitude?"

Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
