8 ‘Thesea people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
10 aWhen He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand:
11 aNot what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13 But He answered and said, a“Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.
14 Let them alone. aThey are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15 aThen Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 So Jesus said, a“Are you also still without understanding?
17 Do you not yet understand that awhatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
19 aFor out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
A Gentile Shows Her Faith
21 aThen Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, aSon of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
