20. These are the things that defile a man. But to eat without washing hands does not defile a man."

24. And responding, he said, "I was not sent except to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel."
25. But she approached and adored him, saying, "Lord, help me."
26. And responding, he said, "It is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs."
