Mark Chapter 7 Verse 25For a [certain] woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

‹There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.›

‹If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.›

And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

And he saith unto them, ‹Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man,› [it] ‹cannot defile him;›

‹Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?›

And he said, ‹That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.›

‹For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,›

‹Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:›

‹All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.›

And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know [it]: but he could not be hid.

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

But Jesus said unto her, ‹Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast› [it] ‹unto the dogs.›

And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

And he said unto her, ‹For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.›

And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, ‹Ephphatha,› that is, Be opened.

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
