17. And when he went indoors from the crowd, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18. And he says to them, Are ye also thus unintelligent? Do ye not perceive that all that is outside entering into the man cannot defile him,
19. because it does not enter into his heart but into his belly, and goes out into the draught, purging all meats?
20. And he said, That which goes forth out of the man, that defiles the man.
21. For from within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22. thefts, covetousness, wickednesses, deceit, licentiousness, a wicked eye, injurious language, haughtiness, folly;
23. all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man.
24. And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know it, and he could not be hid.
25. But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet
26. (and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27. But Jesus said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
28. But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29. And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30. And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
31. And again having left the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32. And they bring to him a deaf man who could not speak right, and they beseech him that he might lay his hand on him.
