17 aWhen He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.
18 So He said to them, a“Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,
19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated,1 thus purifying all foods?”
20 And He said, a“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.
21 aFor from within, out of the heart of men, bproceed evil thoughts, cadulteries, dfornications, murders,
22 thefts, acovetousness, wickedness, bdeceit, clewdness, an evil eye, dblasphemy, epride, foolishness.
23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
A Gentile Shows Her Faith
24 aFrom there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be bhidden.
25 For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and afell at His feet.
