“Are you still so dull?”Jesus asked them. 17“Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?18But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.

“It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.”

Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”

 “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.21For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,22adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.

“Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

Lord God my Father,

Remove my opinion and allow your thoughts to rest on me well. Open my eyes so I may see your desire and give me faith to act on it immediately. Allow your Truth to guide me completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
