Mark 7:18-37

18And he saith to them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from outside entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the stomach, and goeth out into the draught, purging all foods? 20And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:1 23All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

24And from there he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it : but he could not be hid. 25For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.2 27But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to the dogs. 28And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29And he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 30And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter lying upon the bed.

31And again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis. 32And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. 33And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 34And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 35And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plain. 36And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they proclaimed it ; 37And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
