40:015:007 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
40:015:008 This people draweth nigh unto me with their
mouth, and
honoureth
me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
40:015:009 But in vain they do worship me, teaching
for doctrines the
commandments
of men.
40:015:010 And he called the multitude, and said unto
them, Hear, and
understand:
40:015:011 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth
a man; but that
which
cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
40:015:012 Then came his disciples, and said unto
him, Knowest thou that
the
Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
40:015:013 But he answered and said, Every plant,
which my heavenly
Father
hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
40:015:014 Let them alone: they be blind leaders
of the blind. And if the
blind
lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
40:015:015 Then answered Peter and said unto him,
Declare unto us this
parable.
40:015:016 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
40:015:017 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever
entereth in at the
mouth
goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
40:015:018 But those things which proceed out of the
mouth come forth
from
the heart; and they defile the man.
40:015:019 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,
murders,
adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
40:015:020 These are the things which defile a man:
but to eat with
unwashen
hands defileth not a man.
40:015:021 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into
the coasts of Tyre
and
Sidon.
40:015:022 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out
of the same coasts,
and
cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou
son
of
David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
40:015:023 But he answered her not a word. And
his disciples came and
besought
him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
40:015:024 But he answered and said, I am not sent
but unto the lost
sheep
of the house of Israel.
40:015:025 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
40:015:026 But he answered and said, It is not meet
to take the
children’s
bread, and to cast it to dogs.
40:015:027 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the
dogs eat of the crumbs
which
fall from their masters’ table.
40:015:028 Then Jesus answered and said unto her,
O woman, great is thy
faith:
be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter
was
made
whole from that very hour.
