The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith

Mark 7

24 And from there he arose and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entering into a house, desired that no man know of it; but he could not be hid. 25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him and came and fell at his feet; 26 the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation, and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and to cast it unto the dogs. 28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this word go; the demon has gone out of thy daughter. 30 And when she came to her house, she found that the demon had gone out, and the daughter lay upon the bed.
