13. And he answered and said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
14. Let them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
15. But Peter answered and said to him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16. But he said, “Are you also still without understanding?
17. Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the stomach and is evacuated into the latrine?
18. But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the person.
19. For from the heart come evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, abusive speech.
20. These are the things that defile a person. But eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person!”
21. And departing from there, Jesus went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that district came and cried out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
23. But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came up and asked him, saying, “Send her away, because she is crying out after us!”
24. But he answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25. But she came and knelt down before him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26. And he answered and said, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs!”
27. So she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28. Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, your faith is great! Let it be done for you as you want.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
