New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
21 Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
21
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 A Gentile woman who lived there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely.”
22
A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.”
23
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep—the people of Israel.”
24
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
25 But she came and worshiped him, pleading again, “Lord, help me!”
25
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.”
26
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.”
27
“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.
28
Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
