Matthew 15:19-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

29. And departing from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee, and he went up on the mountain and was sitting there.

30. And large crowds came to him, having with them the mute, blind, lame, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet, and he healed them.
