At evening when the sun had set, people came and brought to him all the sick and demon-possessed,

As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed kept begging to go with him; but he said,

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

for they have all put in what they could spare out of their surplus, but she, out of her penury, has put in all that she possessed, her whole living."

(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.

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

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

He cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons. But he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.

The Scribes also who had come down from Jerusalem, said, "He is Beelzebub," and, "He casts out demons by the power of the Prince of the demons."
