A Syrophoenician Woman’s Great Faith

²⁴ And from there he set out and^[a] went to the region of Tyre. And when he^[b] 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^[c] heard about him, came and^[d] 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^[e] 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^[f] went to her home, she found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.
