Mark 7:24-30 ▼

24 Jesus left that place and went to the territory of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, not wanting anyone to know he was there. However, it couldn't be kept a secret.

25 In fact, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him and came and fell down at his feet.

26 Now the woman happened to be a Greek, born in Phoenicia in Syria. She kept asking him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 But he kept telling her, |First let the children be filled. It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the puppies.|

28 But she answered him, |Yes, Lord. Yet even the puppies under the table eat some of the children's crumbs.|

29 Then he told her, |Because you have said this, go! The demon has left your daughter.|

30 So she went home and found her child lying in bed, and the demon was gone.
