King James Version
Matthew 15:16-22
King James Version
16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

Matthew 15:16-22
New International Version
16 “Are you still so dull?”(A) Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,(B) and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.(C) 20 These are what defile a person;(D) but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman(E)
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.(F) 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,(G) have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”(H)
