   08/17 - GospeL Verses

(After answering the Pharisees complaint and accusation) 14 - Jesus called to him the people again saying, “Listen and understand, 15 there is no food outside a person that defiles them. It’s what comes out of a person that pollutes them.”

     17 When he had gone inside, his disciples asked him about it, 18 and he said, “Are you also without understanding? Do you not see what goes into a person from outside doesn’t pollute, 19 for it doesn’t enter the heart, but it enters the stomach, and is expelled?” Thus he declared all foods clean. 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person, is what ruins. 21 For from within, out of the heart, comes evil thoughts, sexual immorality, thefts, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, wantonness [aselgeia - licentiousness, lewdness, from aselgēs - brutal – properly, violent spite which rejects restraint and indulges in lawless insolence] envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things {pollutions} come from within. And they are what pollute.” {And ruin.}

     24 From there he went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And entered a house and didn’t want anyone to know he was there, but it couldn’t be kept secret. 25 And right away a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syro-phoenician (palestinian) by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, “(We must) let the children be fed first, for it’s not right to give the children's bread to the little dogs.” 28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the little dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs that fall from the table.”

      29 “For this,” he said (smiling and impressed?) “you may go your way, and you will find the demon has left your little daughter.” 30 And she went home and found the child resting in bed and the demon had gone from her.
