Matt 15:12 ¶ Then the disciples *came and *said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?"
Matt 15:13 But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted.
Matt 15:14 "Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit."
Matt 15:15 ¶ Peter said to Him, "Explain the parable to us."
Matt 15:16 Jesus said, "Are you still lacking in understanding also?
Matt 15:17 "Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?
Matt 15:18 "But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.
Matt 15:19 "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.
Matt 15:20 "These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man."
Matt 15:21 ¶ Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the district of Tyre and Sidon.
Matt 15:22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed."
Matt 15:23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us."
Matt 15:24 But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
Matt 15:25 But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"
Matt 15:26 And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
Matt 15:27 But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
Matt 15:28 Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once.
Matt 15:29 ¶ Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there.
Matt 15:30 And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.
Matt 15:31 So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
