But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet.
26
7Now the woman was a 8Gentile, 9a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27
And he said to her, "Let the children be 10fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and 11throw it to the dogs."
28
But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's 12crumbs."

30
And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
