12. then you do not release him to do anything for his father or mother,
13. rescinding the word of God through your tradition, which you have handed down. And you do many other similar things in this way."
14. And again, calling the crowd to him, he said to them: "Listen to me, all of you, and understand.
15. There is nothing from outside a man which, by entering into him, is able to defile him. But the things which procede from a man, these are what pollute a man.
16. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
17. And when he had entered into the house, away from the crowd, his disciples questioned him about the parable.
18. And he said to them: "So, are you also without prudence? Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him?
19. For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods."
20. "But," he said "the things which go out from a man, these pollute a man.
21. For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22. thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness.
23. All these evils procede from within and pollute a man."
24. And rising up, he went from there to the area of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into a house, he intended no one to know about it, but he was not able to remain hidden.
25. For a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit, as soon as she heard about him, entered and fell prostrate at his feet.
26. For the woman was a Gentile, by birth a Syro-Phoenician. And she petitioned him, so that he would cast the demon from her daughter.
27. And he said to her: "First allow the sons to have their fill. For it is not good to take away the bread of the sons and throw it to the dogs."
28. But she responded by saying to him: "Certainly, Lord. Yet the young dogs also eat, under the table, from the crumbs of the children."
29. And he said to her, "Because of this saying, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
