19. because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.)
20. And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.
21. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
22. deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.
23. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."
24. Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice.
25. But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet.
26. Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27. And He was saying to her, "Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
28. But she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs."
29. And He said to her, "Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
30. And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
31. Again He went out from the region of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of Decapolis.
32. They brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they implored Him to lay His hand on him.
