24 From that place he went off to the district of Tyre.
He entered a house and wanted no one to know about it,
but he could not escape notice.
| 21 Then Jesus went from that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. |
25 Soon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him.
She came and fell at his feet.
26 The woman was a Greek,
a Syrophoenician by birth,
and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
| 22 And behold,
a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out,
"Have pity on me,
Lord, Son of David!
My daughter is tormented by a demon." |
| 23 But he did not say a word in answer to her.
His disciples came and asked him,
"Send her away,
for she keeps calling out after us." |
| 24 He said in reply,
"I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." |
| 25 But the woman came and did him homage, saying,
"Lord, help me." |
27 He said to her,
"Let the children be fed first.
For it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." | 26 He said in reply,
"It is not right to take the food of the children
and throw it to the dogs." |
28. She replied and said to him,
"Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps." | 27 She said,
"Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters." |
29 Then he said to her,
"For saying this, you may go.
The demon has gone out of your daughter." | 28 Then Jesus said to her in reply,
"O woman, great is your faith!
Let it be done for you as you wish." |
30 When the woman went home,
she found the child lying in bed and the demon gone. | And her daughter was healed from that hour. |
