But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

Then came she and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me.

And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crums which fall from their master's table.

(The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation,) and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crums.

And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren:

And blessed is she that believed that there will be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be healed.

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.

She saith to him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept she stooped down to look into the sepulcher,

And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? she saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

And when she had thus said, she turned herself about, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
