The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith

Mark 7

²⁴ And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. ₁ And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. ²⁵ But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. ²⁶ _t Now the woman was a _u Gentile, _v a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. ²⁷ And he said to her, "Let the children be _w fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and _x throw it to the dogs." ²⁸ But she answered him, "Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's _y crumbs." ²⁹ And he said to her, "For this statement you may _z go your way; the demon has left your daughter." ³⁰ And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
