13But he answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father didn`t plant will be uprooted. 14Let them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit." 15Peter answered him, "Explain the parable to us." 16So Jesus said, "Do you also still not understand? 17Don`t you understand that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and then out of the body? 18But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart, and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies. 20These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn`t defile the man."
21Jesus went out from there, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. 22Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David. My daughter is grievously vexed with a demon." 23But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away; for she cries after us." 24But he answered, "I wasn`t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 25But she came and worshipped him, saying, "Lord, help me." 26But he answered, "It is not appropriate to take the children`s bread and throw it to the dogs." 27But she said, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters` table." 28Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour.
