Mark 7:22

Verse 22 of 37. The 7th of 16 chapters in Mark, in The Gospels.

18He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Don’t you perceive that whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,

19because it doesn’t go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, making all foods clean?”

20He said, “That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.

21For from within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,

22covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.

23All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”

24From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice.

25For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

26Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
