Old/New Testament

²¹ And Jesus went from there, and withdrew to the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. ²² And a woman who was a Canaanite came out of the same region and cried out to him, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord Son of David! My daughter is piteously vexed with a devil. ²³ But he gave her never a word in answer. Then his disciples came to him and urged him, saying, Send her away; she is following us, crying. ²⁴ He answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

²⁵ Then she came and worshipped him, saying, Master, help me! ²⁶ He answered and said, It is not good to take the children’s bread and to cast it to dogs. ²⁷ She answered and said, True, Lord; nevertheless, the dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from their master’s table. ²⁸ Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith! Let it be unto you even as you desire.

And her daughter was made whole even at that same hour.

²⁹ Then Jesus went away from there, and came near to the Sea of Galilee, ³⁰ and went up on a mountain and sat down there. And crowds of people came to him, having with them people who were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and put them down at Jesus’ feet. ³¹ And he healed them, and the people were in wonderment to see the dumb speak, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

³² Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, I have compassion on the people, because they have continued with me now for three days, and have nothing to eat. I do not want to let them go away without eating, lest they faint along the road. ³³ And his disciples said to him, Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a great number of people? ³⁴ And Jesus said to them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

³⁵ And he directed the people to sit down on the ground, ³⁶ and took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave them to his disciples; and the disciples gave them to the people. ³⁷ And they did all eat, and were satisfied. And of the pieces left over they took up seven baskets full – ³⁸ and yet those who ate were 4,000 men, as well as women and children.

³⁹ And Jesus sent the people away, boarded the boat, and went to the region of Magdala.
