18. And he said to them: "So, are you also without prudence? Do you not understand that everything entering to a man from outside is not able to pollute him?
19. For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods."
20. "But," he said "the things which go out from a man, these pollute a man.
21. For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22. thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness.
23. All these evils procede from within and pollute a man."
24. And rising up, he went from there to the area of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into a house, he intended no one to know about it, but he was not able to remain hidden.
25. For a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit, as soon as she heard about him, entered and fell prostrate at his feet.
26. For the woman was a Gentile, by birth a Syro-Phoenician. And she petitioned him, so that he would cast the demon from her daughter.
27. And he said to her: "First allow the sons to have their fill. For it is not good to take away the bread of the sons and throw it to the dogs."
28. But she responded by saying to him: "Certainly, Lord. Yet the young dogs also eat, under the table, from the crumbs of the children."
29. And he said to her, "Because of this saying, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
30. And when she had gone to her house, she found the girl lying on the bed; and the demon had gone away.
31. And again, departing from the borders of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the area of the Ten Cities.
32. And they brought someone who was deaf and mute to him. And they begged him, so that he would lay his hand upon him.
33. And taking him away from the crowd, he put his fingers into his ears; and spitting, he touched his tongue.
34. And gazing up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: "Ephphatha," which is, "Be opened."
35. And immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke correctly.
36. And he instructed them not to tell anyone. But as much as he instructed them, so much more did they preach about it.
