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?  
18 But athose things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.  
19 aFor 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 unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

23 But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”

25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little adogs.”  
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, agreat is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
