19 because it does not go into his heart but into his stomach and then goes on out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared that all foods are fit to be eaten.)
20 And he went on to say, “It is what comes out of a person that makes him unclean.
21 For from the inside, from a person's heart, come the evil ideas which lead him to do immoral things, to rob, kill,
22 commit adultery, be greedy, and do all sorts of evil things; deceit, indecency, jealousy, slander, pride, and folly —
23 all these evil things come from inside a person and make him unclean.”
24 Then Jesus left and went away to the territory near the city of Tyre. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know he was there, but he could not stay hidden.
25 A woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit in her, heard about Jesus and came to him at once and fell at his feet.
