Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.
27
And he said unto her,
Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
28
But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29
And he said unto her,
For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
30
And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.

34
and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,
Ephphatha, that is,
Be opened.

36
And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it.
