Mark 7:15-29
-
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 have ears to hear, let him hear.
-
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
-
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever 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 meats?
-
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 an 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 devil out of her daughter.
-
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
-
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
-
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
