Matthew 15:18-23

18But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you.

19For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.

20These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you.”

21Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

22A Gentile woman who lived there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely.”

23But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.”
