Matthew 15:14-27
-
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
-
15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
-
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
-
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
-
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
-
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
-
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
-
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
-
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
-
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
-
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
-
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
-
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
-
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
