Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA
New International Version NIV
18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these are the things that make you ritually unclean.
18
But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.
19 For from your heart come the evil ideas which lead you to kill, commit adultery, and do other immoral things; to rob, lie, and slander others.
19
For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
20 These are the things that make you unclean. But to eat without washing your hands as they say you should - this doesn't make you unclean."
20
These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
21 Jesus left that place and went off to the territory near the cities of Tyre and Sidon.
21
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 A Canaanite woman who lived in that region came to him. "Son of David!" she cried out. "Have mercy on me, sir! My daughter has a demon and is in a terrible condition."
22
A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 But Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples came to him and begged him, "Send her away! She is following us and making all this noise!"
23
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 Then Jesus replied, "I have been sent only to the lost sheep of the people of Israel."
24
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
25 At this the woman came and fell at his feet. "Help me, sir!" she said.
25
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 Jesus answered, "It isn't right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs."
26
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 "That's true, sir," she answered, "but even the dogs eat the leftovers that fall from their masters' table."
27
“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 So Jesus answered her, "You are a woman of great faith! What you want will be done for you." And at that very moment her daughter was healed.
28
Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
