12 do not then permit him any more to do any thing for his father or his mother;"
13 thus annulling the word of God, by this doctrine of yours, which you have handed down. And thus you act in many other instances.
14 Then having called to him the whole multitude he said to them, Hearken to me, all of you, and understand.
15 There is nothing from without, which by entering into a man can defile him; but the things which proceed from within him, are those which defile a man.
16 If any one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he withdrew from the multitude into a house, his disciples asked him concerning this parable.
18 Whereupon he saith to them, Are you also so void of understanding? Do you not perceive that nothing which entereth into a man from without can defile him;
19 because it doth not enter into the heart; but into the belly, and the of scouring of all meats passeth out into the sink?
20 But, said he, it is that which cometh out of a man, which defileth him.
21 For from within, out of the heart of man, proceed those evil surmises, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 thefts, inordinate desires, malice, fraud, sensuality, envy, detraction, pride, foolishness.
23 All these are the evil things which come from within, and defile the man.
24 Then he arose and went from that place to the confines of Tyre and Sidon. And having entered the house he desired that none should know. But he could not be concealed.

26 [now the woman was a Greek, a native of Syrophoenicia] and intreated him to expel the demon out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied; for it is not seemly to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
28 To which she, in reply, said to him, True, sir; but still the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.
29 Thereupon he said to her, For this saying, Go home. The demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30 So, going home, she found the demon was gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
31 Then, quitting the confines of Tyre and Sidon, he came again to the sea of Galilee, along the borders of Decapolis.
32 And they bring to him a man who was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech, and beseech him to lay his hands on him.
33 Whereupon he taketh him apart from the multitude, and put his fingers in his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;
34 Then, looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And immediately his ears were opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spake distinctly.
36 Though he commanded them not to tell any one, yet the more he enjoined them the more abundantly they proclaimed .his miracles.
37 And being struck with inexpressible amazement, said, He hath done all things well, he maketh the deaf hear, and the dumb speak.
