Mark 7:24-31

24After Jesus left there, he went to the region of Tyre. When he went into a house, he did not want anyone to know, but he was not able to escape notice.

25Instead, a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him and came and fell at his feet.

26The woman was a Greek, of Syrophoenician origin. She asked him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

27He said to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and to throw it to the dogs.”

28She answered, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29Then he said to her, “Because you said this, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

30She went home and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

31Then Jesus went out again from the region of Tyre and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee in the region of the Decapolis.
