007:008 "You neglect God's Commandment: you hold fast to men's traditions." 007:009 "Praiseworthy indeed!" He added, "to set at nought God's Commandment in order to observe your own traditions! 007:010 For Moses said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother' and again, 'He who curses father or mother, let him die the death.' 007:011 But *you* say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, It is a Korban (that is, a thing devoted to God), whatever it is, which otherwise you would have received from me--' 007:012 And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother, 007:013 thus nullifying God's precept by your tradition which you have handed down. And many things of that kind you do." 007:014 Then Jesus called the people to Him again. "Listen to me, all of you," He said, "and understand. 007:015 There is nothing outside a man which entering him can make him unclean; but it is the things which come out of a man that make him unclean." 007:016 [] 007:017 After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech. 007:018 "Have *you* also so little understanding?" He replied; "do you not understand that anything whatever that enters a man from outside cannot make him unclean, 007:019 because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and passes away ejected from him?" By these words Jesus pronounced all kinds of food clean. 007:020 "What comes out of a man," He added, "that it is which makes him unclean. 007:021 For from within, out of men's hearts, their evil purposes proceed-- fornication, theft, murder, adultery, 007:022 covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, reviling, pride, reckless folly: 007:023 all these wicked things come out from within and make a man unclean." 007:024 Then He rose and left that place and went into the neighbourhood of Tyre and Sidon. Here He entered a house and wished no one to know it, but He could not escape observation. 007:025 Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by a foul spirit heard of Him, and came and flung herself at His feet. 007:026 She was a Gentile woman, a Syro-phoenician by nation: and again and again she begged Him to expel the demon from her daughter. 007:027 "Let the children first eat all they want," He said; "it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." 007:028 "True, Sir," she replied, "and yet the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps." 007:029 "For those words of yours, go home," He replied; "the demon has gone out of your daughter." 007:030 So she went home, and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
