Matthew 15–17; Mark 7–9
Overview
Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees who used tradition as an excuse to break the commandments of God. Peter bore his testimony of Jesus, which he received by revelation through the Holy Ghost. The Savior promised to give Peter priesthood keys, which He later gave to Peter, James, and John on the Mount of Transfiguration. Jesus healed the son of a man who expressed his belief in the Savior.
