New Testament

Matthew 15:17-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

17. Don’t you know that everything that goes into the mouth enters the stomach and goes out into the sewer?

18. But what goes out of the mouth comes from the heart. And that’s what contaminates a person in God’s sight.

19. Out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adultery, sexual sins, thefts, false testimonies, and insults.

20. These contaminate a person in God’s sight. But eating without washing hands doesn’t contaminate in God’s sight."

21. From there, Jesus went to the regions of Tyre and Sidon.

22. A Canaanite woman from those territories came out and shouted, "Show me mercy, Son of David. My daughter is suffering terribly from demon possession."
