Open this scene in the reader →24From there he got up and went away to the region of Tyre. After entering a house, he wanted no one to know it, yet he could not remain hidden.
25But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard about him, came and fell at his feet.
26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she kept asking him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27And he was saying to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
28But she answered and said to him, “Lord, even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs.”
29And he said to her, “Because of this word, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
