The Faith of a Greek Woman
24
Jesus went from there to a place near Tyre. He entered a house. He did not want anyone to know where he was. But he could not keep it a secret.
25
Soon a woman heard about him. An evil spirit controlled her little daughter. The woman came to Jesus and fell at his feet.
26
She was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27
"First let the children eat all they want," he told her. "It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to their dogs."
28
"Yes, Lord," she replied. "But even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29
Then he told her, "That was a good reply. You may go. The demon has left your daughter."
30
So she went home and found her child lying on the bed. And the demon was gone.
