New Testament in a Year
21 And Jesus went out from thence, and went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And lo! a woman of Canaan went out of those coasts, and cried, and said to him [saying to him], Lord, the son of David, have mercy on me; my daughter is evil travailed of a fiend [my daughter is evil travailed of a devil].
23 And he answered not to her a word. And his disciples came, and prayed him, and said, Let go thou her, for she crieth after us [And his disciples coming to, prayed him, saying, Leave thou her, for she crieth after us].
24 [Forsooth] He answered, and said, I am not sent, but to the sheep of the house of Israel that have perished. [Forsooth he answering saith, I am not sent, no but to the sheep of the house of Israel that perished.]
25 And she came, and worshipped him, and said, Lord, help me. [But she came, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.]
26 Which answered, and said, It is not good to take the bread of children, and cast [it] to hounds.
27 And she said, Yes, Lord; for [the] whelps eat of the crumbs, that fall down from the board of their lords'.
28 Then Jesus answered, and said to her, A! woman [O! thou woman], thy faith is great; be it done to thee, as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 And when Jesus had passed from thence, he came beside the sea of Galilee. And he went up into an hill, and sat there.
30 And much people came to him, and had with them dumb men and crooked [men], feeble and blind, and many others; and they casted down them at his feet. And he healed them, [And many companies came nigh to him, having with them dumb men and crooked men, feeble and blind, and many others; and they cast them down at his feet. And he healed them,]
31 so that the people wondered [so that the companies wondered], seeing dumb men speaking, and crooked [men] going, blind men seeing; and they magnified God of Israel.
32 And Jesus, when his disciples were called together, said to them, I have ruth of the people, for they have abided now three days with me, and have nothing to eat; and I will not let them go fasting, lest they fail in the way.[a]
33 And the disciples say to him, Whereof then so many loaves among us in desert, to fulfill so great a people [that we fill so great a company]?
34 And Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.[b]
35 And he commanded the people, to sit to meat on the earth. [And he commanded the company, that they should sit to the meat on the earth.]
36 And he took the seven loaves and five fishes, and did thankings, and brake them, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the people.
37 And all ate, and were fulfilled, and they took that that was left of remnants, seven baskets full. [And all ate, and were filled, and they took that that was over of the reliefs, seven baskets full.]
38 And they that ate were four thousand of men, without little children and women.
39 And when he had let go the people [And, the company left], he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
