Matthew 15:16-22
New International Version
16 “Are you still so dull?”(A) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(B) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(C) 20 These are what defile a person;(D) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(E)
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.(F) 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,(G) have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”(H)
