Matthew 15:17-22 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

17. “Don’t you realize that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated?

18. But what comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this defiles a man.

19. For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

20. These are the things that defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

21. When Jesus left there, He withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon.

22. Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly tormented by a demon.”
