Mark 7:24-30 (New International Version)

The Faith of a Syrophoenician Woman

 ²⁴Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.^[a] He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. ²⁵In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an evil^[b] spirit came and fell at his feet. ²⁶The woman 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, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."

 ²⁸"Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

 ²⁹Then he told her, "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."

 ³⁰She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
