15. Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16. “Are you also still lacking understanding?” Yeshua said.
17. “Don’t you grasp that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and then is ejected into the sewer?
18. But the things that proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and those things make the man unholy.
19. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and slander.
20. These are the things that make the man unholy; but to eat with unwashed hands does not make the man unholy.”
21. Now Yeshua left from there and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that district came out and started shouting, “Have mercy on me, O Master, Ben-David! My daughter is severely tormented by a demon.”
23. But He did not answer her a word. And when His disciples came, they were urging Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.”
24. But He responded, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
