17. Do you not see and understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the abdomen and so passes on into the place where discharges are deposited?
18. But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what makes a man unclean and defiles [him].
19. For out of the heart come evil thoughts (reasonings and disputings and designs) such as murder, adultery, sexual vice, theft, false witnessing, slander, and irreverent speech.
20. These are what make a man unclean and defile [him]; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean or defile [him].
21. And going away from there, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22. And behold, a woman who was a Canaanite from that district came out and, with a [loud, troublesomely urgent] cry, begged, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is miserably and distressingly and cruelly possessed by a demon!
23. But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, Send her away, for she is crying out after us.
24. He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25. But she came and, kneeling, worshiped Him and kept praying, Lord, help me!
26. And He answered, It is not right (proper, becoming, or fair) to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.
27. She said, Yes, Lord, yet even the little pups (little whelps) eat the crumbs that fall from their [young] masters' table.
28. Then Jesus answered her, O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you wish. And her daughter was cured from that moment.
