24 Jesus left that place and went to the territory of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house, not wanting anyone to know he was there. However, it couldn't be kept a secret.

25 In fact, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him and came and fell down at his feet.

26 Now the woman happened to be a Greek, born in Phoenicia in Syria. She kept asking him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 But he kept telling her,"First let the children be filled. It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the puppies."

28 But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the puppies under the table eat some of the children's crumbs."

29 Then he said to her,"Because you have said this, go! The demon has left your daughter."

30 So she went home and found the child lying in bed, and the demon was gone.
