[:en]”These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men” (vs. 8-9)
“What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him “unclean”, but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him “unclean” (v. 11)
“For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man “unclean” but eating with unwashed hands does not make him “unclean” (vs. 19-20)
Jesus was impressed with the Faith of the Canaanite Woman. He granted her request and healed her daughter who was suffering terribly from demon-possession.
Jesus healed those who came to him bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others. Since they had been with him for 3 days and had nothing to eat, he fed the four thousand besides the women and children with 7 loaves and fish. After they have eaten, there were 7 basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
