Mark 7:24-30 ▼

24 After Jesus left there, he went to the region of Tyre. When he went into a house, he did not want anyone to know, but he was not able to escape notice.

25 Instead, a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him and came and fell at his feet.

26 The woman was a Greek, of Syrophoenician origin. She asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

27 He said to her, |Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and to throw it to the dogs.|

28 She answered, |Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.|

29 Then he said to her, |Because you said this, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.|

30 She went home and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
