A Syrophoenician Woman’s Great Faith
24 And from there he set out [and] went to the region of Tyre. And [when he] entered into a house, he wanted no one to know, and [yet] he was not able to escape notice.
25
But immediately a woman whose young daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, [when she] heard about him, came [and] fell down at his feet,
26
Now the woman was a Greek--a Syrophoenician by nationality--and she was asking him that he would expel the demon from her daughter.
27
And he said to her, "Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw [it] to the dogs!"
28
But she answered and said to him, "Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29
And he said to her, "Because of this statement, go! The demon has gone out of your daughter."
30
And [when she] went to her home, she found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.
