Matthew 15:16-22

16So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding?

17Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

20These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

21Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

22And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
