Mark 7:24-30 - A Syrophoenician Woman's Great Faith
24 And from there Jesus got up and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered a house but did not want anyone to know it. However, He could not keep it secret. 25 But just then a woman whose little daughter was dominated by an evil spirit heard about Jesus and came and fell down at His feet. 26 Now the woman was a Greek [i.e., a Gentile], a Syrophoenician by nationality. [Note: This was a region just north of Galilee and consisted of Syria and Phoenicia]. She begged Him to drive out the evil spirit from her daughter. 27 So, He said to her, "Children should be the first ones to eat until they are full, for it is not proper to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs."
28 But she answered Him, "Yes Lord, but even the dogs under the table eat the crumbs dropped by the children."
29 And He said to her, "Because you have said this, go on your way; the evil spirit has left your daughter." 30 And she went away to her house and found her child lying on her bed with the evil spirit gone from her.
