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."
