Then Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16
And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17
Do not ye yet understand that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the belly and is cast out into the draught?
18
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man.
19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20
these are
the things which defile the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
21
Then Jesus left there and departed into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
22
And, behold, a woman of Canaan having come out of the same borders cried unto him, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me; my daughter is sick, possessed by a demon.
23
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away, for she cries
out after us.
24
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25
Then she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
