²⁵ Instead, at once, a woman whose little daughter had (was under the control of) an unclean spirit heard about Him and came and flung herself down at His feet.

²⁶ Now the woman was a Greek (Gentile), a Syrophoenician by nationality. And she kept begging Him to drive the demon out of her little daughter.

²⁷ And He said to her, First let the children be fed, for it is not becoming or proper or right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the [little house] dogs.

²⁸ But she answered Him, Yes, Lord, yet even the small pups under the table eat the little children’s scraps of food.

²⁹ And He said to her, Because of this saying, you may go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter [permanently].

³⁰ And she went home and found the child thrown on the couch, and the demon departed.

¹⁹ Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.
