18 But what a person says with his mouth comes from the way he thinks. And these are the things that make him unclean.
19 Out of the mind come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, lying, and saying bad things against other people.
20 These things make a person unclean. But eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean.”
21 Jesus left that place and went to the area of Tyre and Sidon.
22 A Canaanite woman from that area came to Jesus. The woman cried out, “Lord, Son of David, please help me! My daughter has a demon, and she is suffering very much.”
23 But Jesus did not answer the woman. So the followers came to Jesus and begged him, “Tell the woman to go away. She is following us and shouting.”
24 Jesus answered, “God sent me only to the lost sheep, the people of Israel.”
