My daughter is badly demon-possessed”. ²³ But the One did not respond a word to her. And having come to Him, His disciples were asking Him, saying, “Send her away, because she is crying-out after us”. ²⁴ But the One, having responded, said, “I was not sent-forth except for^[a] the lost^[b] sheep of the house of Israel”. ²⁵ But the one, having come, was prostrating-herself before Him, saying, “Master, help me”. ²⁶ And the One, having responded, said, “It is not good to take the bread of the children and throw it to the little-dogs^[c]”. ²⁷ But the one said, “Yes, Master. For indeed the little-dogs eat from the crumbs falling from the table of their masters!” ²⁸ Then, having responded, Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you wish”. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

And they threw^[d] them at His feet. And He cured them, ³¹ so that the crowd marveled— seeing mute ones speaking, crippled ones healthy, and lame ones walking, and blind ones seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
