Matthew 15:19-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immorality, thefts, false witness, and blasphemies.

20. These are the things which defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”

21. Then Jesus went from there and departed into the regions of Tyre and Sidon.

22. There, a woman of Canaan came out of the same regions and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely possessed by a demon.”

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