The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith

Mark 7

²⁴ _a From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre ₁ and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be _b hidden. ²⁵ For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and _c fell at His feet. ²⁶ The woman was a ₂ Greek, a ₃ SyroPhoeni'cian by birth, and she kept ₄ asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. ²⁷ But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." ²⁸ And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs." ²⁹ Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter." ³⁰ And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
