24 After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid.

25 Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet

26 (the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

27 "Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the childrens bread and throw it to the dogs."

28 "True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the childrens crumbs."

29 "For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter."

30 So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.
