Context of Mark 7:25

23all these wicked things go forth from within and defile the man. 24And he rose up and went away thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and having entered into a house he would not have any one know [it], and he could not be hid. But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell at his feet 26(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. 27But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.
