Mark 7:24-30 - A Syrophoenician Woman's Great Faith

24 Then He left there and went into the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and wanted no one to know that He was there. But He could not escape public notice. 25 On the contrary, a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit, at once heard about Him and came and flung herself at His feet. 26 She was a heathen who spoke Greek and had been born in Syro-Phenicia. And she kept begging Him to drive the demon out of her daughter. 27 But He was saying to her, "Let the children first eat all they want, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it out to the house dogs."

28 But she answered Him, "Yes, Lord, and yet the house dogs under the table usually eat the crumbs the children drop."

29 Then He said to her, "Because you have said this, go home; the demon has gone out of your daughter." 30 She went home and found her daughter lying in bed, and the demon gone out.
