Mark 7:27-29

Living Bible

²⁷ Jesus told her, “First I should help my own family—the Jews.^[a] It isn’t right to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁸ She replied, “That’s true, sir, but even the puppies under the table are given some scraps from the children’s plates.”

²⁹ “Good!” he said. “You have answered well—so well that I have healed your little girl. Go on home, for the demon has left her!”
