Matthew 15:20-23 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

20. Those are the things that make you 'unclean.' But eating without washing your hands does not make you 'unclean.' "

21. Jesus left Galilee and went to the area of Tyre and Sidon.

22. A woman from Canaan lived near Tyre and Sidon. She came to him and cried out, "Lord! Son of David! Have mercy on me! A demon controls my daughter. She is suffering terribly."

23. Jesus did not say a word. So his disciples came to him. They begged him, "Send her away. She keeps crying out after us."
