14. And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Hearken to me every one of you, and understand.
15. There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him, can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16. If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.
17. And when he had entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18. And he saith to them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him.
19. Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all kinds of food.
20. And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22. Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness;
23. All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
24. And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
25. For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26. (The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation,) and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.
27. But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the dogs.
28. And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crums.
29. And he said to her, For this saying, depart; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30. And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31. And again, departing from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
32. And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue.
