21 For from within, from the heart of men go out evil thoughts, such as fornication, adultery, theft, murder, 22 Extortion, wickedness, deceit, lust, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; 23 All these evils go out from within, and they defile the man. 24 Jesus moved away from thence, and came to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and he entered into a house, and did not want any one to know about him. And yet he could not hide himself. 25 For immediately a woman heard about him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit; and she came and fell at his feet. 26 But the woman was a heathen, from Phoenicia in Syria; and she besought him to cast out the demon from her daughter. 27 And Jesus said to her, Let the children be first filled; for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs. 28 But she answered and said to him, Yes, my Lord; even the dogs eat the children’s crumbs under the trays. 29 Jesus said to her, Go your way; just because of this word, the demon has gone out of your daughter. 30 So she went to her house, and found her daughter lying in bed, and the demon gone out of her. 31 Again Jesus went out from the border of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, to the border of the ten cities. 32 And they brought to him a deaf and dumb man; and they asked him to lay his hand on him. 33 So he drew him aside from the people, and put his fingers into his ears, then he spat, and touched his tongue; 34 And he looked up to heaven, and sighed, and he said to him, Ethpatakh, which means, Be opened. 35 And in that very hour his ears were opened, and the knot of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly. 36 And he warned them not to tell this to any man; but the more he warned them, so much the more they published it. 37 And they were greatly astonished, saying, He does everything so well. He makes the deaf hear, and the dumb to speak. Mark 7:21-37, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
